1Opinion of the CourtCowin, J.
In September, 2001, the defendant, Aaron Kincaid, was convicted by a Superior Court jury on four indictments charging aggravated rape.1 G. L. c. 265, § 22 (a). Following a postverdict inquiry of the jurors,2 the trial judge determined that *382the jury had been exposed to an extraneous matter (the flight of Kincaid’s coventurer), and ordered a new trial. The Commonwealth appealed and the Appeals Court reversed. Commonwealth v. Kincaid, 61 Mass. App. Ct. 657 (2004). We granted the defendant’s application for further appellate review, and now affirm the trial judge’s order.
