COOPER, Justice,
dissenting.
I agree in all respects with the dissenting opinion of Justice Wintersheimer. I would simply add that even if Appellant had entered the victim’s apartment with her permission, his “license ceased and the privilege *621to be upon the premises lapsed” when he formed the intention to rape his host. Tribbett v. Commonwealth, Ky., 561 S.W.2d 662, 664 (1978); see also McCarthy v. Commonwealth, Ky., 867 S.W.2d 469, 471 (1993). I do not interpret Tribbett, supra, as narrowly as does the majority. The defendant in Tribbett committed the offense of burglary when he formed the intent to kill his host. It was at that moment that he remained on the property with the intent to commit a crime. KRS 511.020(1).
