BACOLOD CITY – A retired policeman wanted for allegedly raping his stepdaughter was arrested in Barangay Cabug here on Friday, May 31.
Police Capt. Michael Tuburan, head of Police Station 9, said the 78-year-old suspect was served a warrant of arrest for 13 counts of rape and acts of lasciviousness.
Tuburan said the Counter Intelligence Division-Integrity Monitoring Enforcement Group (CID-IMEG) coordinated with them for the service of the arrest warrant.
He said the suspect, formerly a Senior Police Officer 3 (SPO3) assigned in Pangasinan, retired from the service in 2002.
The warrant with no bail recommended was issued by Regional Trial Court (RTC) Branch 68 in Lingayen, Pangasinan on July 19, 2006.
