ABSTRACT
Marie, a beautiful college woman, began dating a young man during her freshman year. No one could understand why they were dating. He was younger than she and certainly less attractive physically. She was a cheerleader and very popular, while he was a rather quiet person who participated in practically none of the school’s activities. He had pursued her relentlessly since they were both in high school and she had repeatedly rejected him. The young man came from a wealthy family and he unsuccessfully tried to use his wealth to influence the woman. Eventually however, she became impressed with his singular dedication to her and consented to a date, beginning what would become four years of apparent happiness and love-with one notable exception. One evening they went to a party and for the first time in their relationship, he became intoxicated. When they returned to his apartment, he insisted on sex and forced himself on her after she complained about his intoxicated state. However, because it was the only time in their relationship that he had exhibited such behavior, she accepted his apology.
