After entering the home, Badillo burglarized the house, then twice sexually assaulted the woman. He also burglarized an attached but separate residence.

After the sexual assault and burglaries, Badillo forced the woman to to drive him around Anchorage for several hours, going to ATM after ATM and also to the bank to withdraw money for him.
