The Department of Justice (DOJ) junked the rape complaint filed by model Deniece Cornejo against tv host/actor Vhong Navarro on Thursday April 10. The department has also ordered the filing of criminal charges against the 23-year-old model, businessman Cedric Lee, his sister Bernice, and four others.
In a 42-page resolution, the DOJ used as basis for the serious illegal detention charges the evidence indicating Navarro's hands were tied when Lee's group brought him out of Cornejo's condominium unit at Forbeswood Heights in Taguig City on the night of January 22.
It also noted the severe beatings Navarro suffered at the hands of Lee and his companions, as well as the refusal of Lee's group to report the incident to the condominium's security guards.
The DOJ also said the real motive behind the mauling came out when Lee's group tried to extort P2 million from him as shown by the exchange of text messages between Lee and Navarro.
Meanwhile, Navarro filed on the same day (earlier today) his response to the complaint filed against him by a certain Margarita Mai Fajaro. The said complaint is the third rape charge against Navarro. Navarro was accompanied by his legal counsel, Atty. Alma Mallonga, at the Quezon City Prosecutor’s Office.
