Does she keep applying the choke knowing that this may cause brain damage or death? Or does she release not knowing what to expect when he regains consciousness seconds after she does release?"
Well, presuming this is a man attacking a woman, the theory of disparity of force probably applies. If the woman was in danger of death or grave bodily injury (and rape is considered to be grave bodily injury), then the woman is justified in using deadly force.
Regarding your disbelief that a woman could control a larger man, I think you just need to go to a BJJ gym and spar with a woman.
You're correct that some folks don't respond to pain compliance. But BJJ isn't just pain compliance. It's leverage.
