OPINION OF THE COURT
2Per curiam
Appealing his conviction for rape in the first degree, the defendant argues that judicial error deprived him of a fair trial. The rape is alleged to have been committed when the complaining witness visited defendant’s business office to be interviewed for a secretarial position. At the trial, she testified that she was forced into sexual intercourse on defendant’s couch after a struggle in which he struck her in the face. Since the defendant admitted the intercourse but insisted it was consensual, consent and forcible compulsion were the primary issues at the trial.
