16 year old girl raped by six men in Tondo
A 16-year-old girl was allegedly raped by six men who were her buddies in a drinking session in Tondo, Manila early Tuesday morning.
On-case investigator Police Officer (PO) 1 Genesis Soliven said Nene, not her real name, was invited by her friend alias John, 18, to a drinking spree in his house.
She eventually got drunk and fell unconscious. Thereafter, John brought her to a room where the alleged sexual abuse transpired.
When the victim woke up, she found another man, age 25, already on top of her while the 20-year-old brother of John was just watching and smiling at them.
She immediately went home despite being limped after fully regaining her consciousness.
The victim then told her mother of what happened.
Police arrested the three suspects.
According to Manila Police District (MPD) Station 1 commander Police Supt. Reynaldo Magdaluyo, the suspects could have possibly given the victim a substance other than liquor as she easily passed out.
John and his sibling denied the allegation.
On the other hand, the man who was caught by the victim taking advantage of her admitted to the crime, saying he was just so intoxicated with alcohol.
He added that there were three others—one was identified as ‘Tado’—who entered the room where the victim was situated. These individuals are now being hunted by the authorities.
Meanwhile, he said that he is willing to marry Nene to avoid getting jailed; but the latter and her mother declined his offer.
The suspects will be facing rape charges while the victim will undergo counseling. (Ria Fernandez)
