She said that Defendant had been pressuring her to have sex with him and she continually told him that she did not want to.
In order to appease him, she told him that if they had sex, it would probably be in August and would just be the tip of his penis. Victim told Defendant this to postpone his persistence about having sex and did not intend to follow through with her statement. On the date of the assault, the two of them were kissing.
