Qualified rape of a mental retardate

Aman was convicted beyond reasonable doubt of the crime of rape punishable under the Revised Penal Code. The victim, a 39-year-old woman, was mentally retarded. She suffered from “moderate mental retardation with a mental age of (6) six years and (8) months and an IQ of (41) forty-one.”

One afternoon, as the victim was standing outside her house and holding her dog, a man approached her and gave her P200.00 to buy some junk food from the sari-sari store. Afterwards, he convinced her to accompany him to his house, located near a cemetery in Caloocan City. Once inside his house, he told the girl to lay down on the floor and remove her clothes. After raping her, he told her to dress herself. To make matters worse, he took her cellphone, and used the money he earned from selling it to buy drinks for his friends who were already drinking outside his house.
