| In view of the credible testimony of AAA, appellant's defenses of denial and alibi deserve no consideration. We stress that these weak defenses cannot stand against the positive identification and categorical testimony of a rape victim.[33] | |||||

| Appellant makes much of the fact that the rape incidents happened inside their house where there is only one room and where he and all his other children were cramped on a papag. The Court, however, has already debunked this line of argument in so many cases. Thus, it has been repeatedly held that rape can be committed in the same room where other members of the family are also sleeping, in a house where there are other occupants or even in places which to many might appear unlikely and high-risk venues for its commission.[37] | |||||
