Henley and her seven-year-old daughter lived down the gravel road in a trailer. Ross (D) who
was driving the truck, knocked on Henley's door asking for directions. When she stepped out

to undress and shoved her onto the couch. Henley was frightened and crying and attempted to
escape and eventually she talked him out of raping her. D left but was eventually indicted
