She offers to give the man a ride home, but she does not know what she might be getting herself into. With the four rape elements we are to determine whether Rusk has committed rape or not. ... Because Pat did not take the initiative and try to honk the horn, scream, or even try to run away are the reasons why Rusk is not guilty beyond a reasonable doubt (Wilner 236). ...
