Caught! Mentorque unmasks culprit behind leaked videos, Ron Angeles fights back
The House of Mentorque, the film company that manages actor Ron Angeles and other stars, revealed on March 20 that it has identified the individual behind the recent illegal distribution and sale of private videos involving Filipino celebrities.
Mentorque said that the individual is part of a larger, organized network engaged in the exploitation of victims.
The movie outfit has encouraged victims to come forward and file a complaint against the individual.
The full statement:
"In recent weeks, several intimate videos involving known personalities have circulated online, including one involving our talent, Ron Angeles. What was believed to be a private encounter was recorded without consent and has reportedly been distributed and sold over an extended period.
"Let us be clear: this is not an isolated incident. Through coordination with authorities, we have uncovered that the individual involved is part of a larger, organized network engaged in the illegal recording, distribution, and exploitation of victims. This is a grave and deeply disturbing criminal enterprise.
"Ron Angeles has formally filed a complaint. We are fully committed to pursuing this case relentlessly until every individual involved is identified, held accountable, and brought to justice.
"We call on other victims to come forward. You are not alone. We are ready to support you and stand with you in seeking justice.
"To anyone with information that may aid this investigation, we urge you to step forward. Your cooperation is critical in dismantling this operation and ending this cycle of abuse.
"We also remind the public: sharing, reposting, or engaging with this content is illegal. Every view, every share, and every transaction fuels this exploitation. These individuals have endured unimaginable trauma, and the impact extends beyond them to their families and communities, who are also suffering through this deeply distressing experience.
"Let us all act responsibly on social media. The continued sharing and resale of these videos on messaging platforms constitutes punishable offenses. We will pursue not only the perpetrators of this operation but also those who knowingly participate in distributing this illegal content.
"As we observe Women’s Month, let this serve as a reminder: abuse and exploitation know no gender. It can happen to anyone.
"This must end. Help us stop this."
