• holding that Legislature clearly intended proof of assault and/or kidnapping as elements of first degree rape
• recognizing that its conclusion regarding merger of the offenses therein was “strengthened when it is observed that constitutional double jeopardy provisions forbid double punishment”
• holding that, when the proof of kidnapping and assault “was accepted by the jury, those crimes became merged in the completed crime of first-degree rape” (footnote omitted)
• kidnapping and assault merge with first degree rape where they were part of the perpetration of the rape and did not have an independent purpose or effect
• two women voluntarily went into the defendant's home but kidnapping charge merged with the rape charge
