PER CURIAM.
We find no error in the order of the trial court denying defendant’s motion to suppress. The record supports the conclusion that the defendant consented to the search of his bag. He not only authorized the officers to look into the bag, but also to “feel around” inside it. One of the officers examined the bag and immediately felt the wrapped packages containing cocaine concealed in the defendant’s sock. The testimony reflects that one end of the package was exposed so that the officer could see the drugs without unwrapping the package. We therefore need not consider defendant’s argument that State v. Wells, 13 F.L.W. 686 (Fla. Dec. 1, 1988), should be applied to closed packages uncovered in a luggage search.
The judgment and sentence are affirmed.

Appellant’s first contention, which involves his convictions under counts two and three for sexual battery on a victim physically helpless, is meritorious.

State, 538 So. 2d 515 (Fla. 2d DCA), rev. denied, 544 So. 2d 201 (Fla.1989), that the victim in this case did not meet the statutory definition of “physically helpless.” See § 794.011(1)(e), Fla.Stat. (1985). Tracy was bound, but the evidence shows that she repeatedly co…

She was, therefore, free to articulate an objection or to use her legs to indicate any lack of desire to continue the sexual acts. The restraints on her hands did not render her physically helpless to resist. See Davis v. State, 538 So. 2d 515 (Fla. 2d DCA) (crime of sexual battery of physically helpless victim requires proof that victim is physically unable to communicate unwillingness to act), rev. denied, 544 So. 2d 201 (Fla.1989). The State argues that the statutory requirement for p…
