Opinion

Schindler, J.

¶1 A jury convicted Mohammed J.L. Kone of rape in the second degree of A.C. and attempted rape in the second degree and indecent liberties of A.B. Kone contends he is entitled to dismissal of the conviction of attempted rape in the second degree and indecent liberties because the trial court erred in denying his motion to dismiss under CrR 8.3(b). Kone asserts he is entitled to reversal of the conviction of rape in the second degree because the trial court erred in admitting evidence of prior consistent statements. Kone also asserts the court violated double jeopardy by failing to vacate the indecent liberties conviction, and erred in imposing a number of community custody conditions. We affirm the conviction of rape in the second degree of A.C. and attempted rape in the second degree of A.B. but remand to vacate the indecent liberties conviction and strike the community custody condition that prohibits access to the Internet and requires payment of counseling fees.

FACTS

Rape in the Second Degree of A.C.

¶2 On June 26, 2007, A.C. met Mohammed Kone while waiting at a bus stop near the QFC grocery store in Des *423 Moines. Kone asked A.C. if she wanted to “go have a couple of beers at the park” near his house. A.C. agreed. Kone and A.C. took the bus to get to West Fenwick Park. Before going to the park, Kone purchased beer and wine. After drinking some beer and wine, Kone and A.C. walked to his house. Kone lived downstairs and his brother lived upstairs.

¶3 At the house, Kone became sexually “aggressive” and told A.C. he wanted to have sex with her. Kone grabbed A.C.’s breasts and her vaginal area, and told her to take her pants off. When A.C. said, “[T] hat’s not going to happen,” Kone got angry. Kone removed A.C.’s pants and repeatedly hit her on the buttocks with a paddle. A.C. was “screaming telling him to stop.” After forcing A.C. to get on her knees, Kone digitally penetrated her anus and then her vagina. 1 A.C. went to the bathroom and locked the door, and tried to escape out the bathroom window. But Kone was standing outside. After Kone pushed her back inside, A.C. ran to the front door to escape, but Kone stopped her. Kone then hit A.C. again with the paddle and called her a “bad girl.” Shortly thereafter, A.C. was able to climb out the bathroom window and run to a neighbor’s house. Kone chased after her, yelling at her to stop.

¶4 Wearing only a T-shirt and underpants, A.C. pounded on the neighbor’s door, yelling for help and saying, “[Djon’t let him in, don’t let him in.” The neighbor, Ngoc Thach, let A.C. in and called 911. A.C. told Thach that Kone “picked her up, and they were playing around, or having fun at his house, and he started . . . hurting her, and that’s when she was scared and ran.” Another neighbor, Kathleen France, also called 911 after hearing a woman screaming, “[H]elp, help, help, rape, rape, rape,” and an angry male voice yelling.

¶5 Officer Kevin Bateman arrived a couple of minutes after the 911 call, at approximately 2:45 a.m. Officer *424 Bateman said A.C. was “crying so hysterically” that he “couldn’t make out anything she was saying.” Eventually, A.C. said that “Mo[hammed] had beat her with what she described as a paddle and prevented her from trying to escape.” A.C. told Officer Bateman, “I was like a prisoner in his dungeon.”

¶6 Officer Bateman saw the open window to the bathroom and a window screen lying on the ground at Kone’s house. Kone did not respond to the officers loudly knocking on his door. However, Kone’s brother responded and agreed to get a key and let them in. When the police tried to open the door to Kone’s apartment, the deadbolt was in place and the police left.

¶7 Officer Bateman took photographs of A.C.’s injuries and she agreed to give a taped-recorded statement at the police station. The taped interview lasted for approximately 30 minutes and ended because A.C. was too upset to continue. During the interview, A.C. told Officer Bateman that while at the park, Kone made her touch his penis, hit her on the buttocks, removed her pants, digitally raped her, and then forced her to go to his house.

¶8 Later, A.C. told medical treatment providers at the emergency room that she was vaginally and anally raped, and beaten with a paddle. A.C. had heavy bruising on her buttocks, lower back, and thighs that later turned purple and black. Forensic testing established the presence of sperm.

¶9 Later that day, Detective Kathy Holt met with A.C. A.C. agreed to drive with Detective Holt to West Fenwick Park. When they arrived at the park, Kone was standing in the parking lot. A.C. told Detective Holt, “That’s him,” and “almost jump [ed] out of her seat and cower [ed] down in the car.” Detective Holt called for backup before contacting Kone.

*425 ¶10 After reading Kone his Miranda 2 rights, Kone agreed to talk with Detective Holt. Kone told Detective Holt that he met A.C. at the bus stop. He said that A.C. had some beer and told him she was having a bad day. He said that after talking to her, “they decided to drink some beer together” at his house. Kone said they took the bus to his house but went to the park because his brother was home. He said that they had sex at the park. Kone said that while at the park, “she started becoming sexual towards him, and that she wanted to have sex with him.” Kone told Detective Holt that A.C. wanted to have vaginal and anal sex.

And I asked, what type of sex basically they were talking about? And I said, Did you have vaginal sex?
And he said, Yes.
And I asked if they had anal sex?
And he said, Yes.
He told me that she asked him to do this, and so they stayed in the park for a while.
Q By asking him to do this, was he referring to the vaginal sex, anal sex, or both in general?
A I took that to mean both.
Q Did he indicate whether or not they were drinking at the apartment?
A Yes.
Q How much did he say and what did he say they were drinking?
A He said he had had two beers, and they drank the Cisco, and he said that she had had more because she told him she had been drinking all day.
Q Where did they go after the park, according to the Defendant?
A After that, then they did walk back to his house.

*426 ¶11 Kone denied “putting his fingers in [A.C.’s] vaginal area” but admitted putting his fingers “in her rectal area” because “he said she asked him to feel her rectal area.”

¶12 Kone told Detective Holt that when they were at his house, A.C. left by going out the bathroom window but he did not know why. Kone said that after A.C. left, he went to bed.
