Dunno the precise answer, but perhaps she possesses diminished mental capacity?
Perhaps he was very scary and she thought lying still/playing dead was the safest course of action?
My money's on the former.
Some rape victims fight back with everything they have. Others capitulate with nary a fight. Hard to tell why.
Her response (or lack of one) doesn't reduce his culpability, IMO.
