    Gerald Anderson Mateo, the defendant's boyfriend, testifies that he was with the victim, Maja Panganiban, on the day of the alleged rape. He claims that Maja texted him early in the morning that she needed him, so he went to her house. There, Maja seduced him and they had sex until they were interrupted by her mother, at which point he jumped out the window without his clothes and ran home. The defense argues this proves the defendant was not at the scene of the crime and could not have raped Maja. However, the prosecutor implies Maja's testimony contradicts Mateo's claim that only he and Maja were in the house.
