After a few hours, in the early morning of October 21, 2017, M.P. went to sleep alone in the spare bedroom of Appellant's apartment because she did not feel comfortable driving home after drinking. M.P. was wearing leggings when she went to sleep. When M.P. awoke, she was no longer wearing her leggings or underwear and Appellant's penis was inside her vagina. M.P. testified that when Appellant asked her if she liked what he was doing, she responded "no." M.P. also testified that she tried to move her body to get away but could not do so. M.P. testified that after Appellant "finished" and left the room, she gathered herself, got dressed, and left the apartment. M.P. went to the hospital, reported the event to law enforcement, and completed a SANE exam. M.P. texted A.L. after leaving the apartment and informed A.L. that she had woken up to Appellant penetrating her. The SANE examination results confirmed Appellant's sexual intercourse with M.P.
