Amado R. Esquivel v. State Texas

The State produced evidence that on the night of the offense the prosecutrix and a female companion went to a bar in Bexar County. While they were there they saw appellant in the company of several other men and were approached several times by one of the men. The men also followed the women to their car when they were leaving and asked where they were going. The women did not answer but started the car and left, proceeding on Highway 81. Sometime later they noticed a car following them and approaching rapidly. The car eventually forced the prosecutrix to drive her car off the road. The women tried to escape by backing their car away from the other car, but they were forcibly pulled from their automobile by five men who were in the other car. The men were the same men who had been seen by the women earlier at the bar, and included the appellant. The five men forced the women to go with four of the men in one car, while one of the men drove the prosecutrixs car away from the scene. After considerable driving, the women were taken to a plowed field, where three of the men sexually assaulted the prosecutrix by the use of force and threats against her life. She testified that appellant was one of the three men who assaulted her, and that he had a machete with him which he threatened to use to kill her if she tried to escape.
