State“Thus, the clear intent of the legislature in amending this statute was to authorize a conviction for aggravated rape if there is proof that the defendant ‘by acts, words, or deeds’ places the victim in fear of death or serious bodily injury .... Thus, the fact finder may infer from the totality of the circumstances whether a person’s overall conduct placed the victim in fear of death or serious bodily injury. Id. at 560 .”
