JERRY OLEA

Jojo Nones at Richard Cruz has passed a resolution at the Department of Justice.

The PEP Troika has issued a statement on the brief rape by lascivious acts of independent contractors.

This statement applies to Atty. Maggie Abraham-Garduque of the PEP Troika, said nothing about the DOJ resolution.

JOJO NONES AND DEAD CRUZ LEGAL COUNSEL STATEMENT

Narito ang kanyang kabuuang statement ni Atty. Maggie has struck a nerve:

“The DOJ resolution does not justify the charges. This is my reaction when I read the DOJ resolution.

“Based on the DOJ’s resolution, there is reasonable certainty of conviction to charge Cruz and Nones with one count of sexual assault and two counts of acts of lasciviousness.

“The decision to charge our clients with sexual assault was based on the fact that Sandro was allegedly able to prove that Richard, with Jojo’s assistance, was able to insert his tongue into Sandro’s anal opening.

“However, the resolution states, and I quote: ‘It must be emphasized that in this case, Complainant Sandro clearly stated in his affidavit that Defendant Richard spread his buttocks and ‘licked’ his butthole. The relevant provision of Complainant Sandro’s statement reads as follows: ‘naramdaman ko na lang na ni-stretch nya po yung buttwang ko at naramdaman ko po ang dila nya sa butthole ko xxx’.

“Unlike ‘sucking’, insertion can occur with ‘licking’ because it protrudes from the tongue.

“That’s why, according to the resolution, Sandro said Richard only licked his asshole.

“If what was licked was only his butthole, there is no insertion. Insertion occurs when the tongue goes into the butthole.

“The resolution also states: Additionally, Complaint Sandro confirmed during the clarification hearing that he felt Respondent Richard insert his tongue into his anal opening.

“This is not true. During the clarifying hearing, Sandro kept saying that Richard was licking his butthole.

“Similarly, we argue that it is physically impossible to insert a tongue into the anal opening without any injury. You have to overstretch it to create an opening, which will obviously lead to cuts or injuries.

“However, the resolution states that if there is injury daw puwedeng nag-heal na: “As held by the Supreme Court in Ricalde vs. People,” the court had explained the merely corroborative nature of expert testimony and the possibility of rape convictions based on the victim’s credible sole testimony. In any case, the medical lawyer explained that his negative finding of trauma in the anal orifice does not eliminate the possibility of an insertion, given the flexibility of the sphincter. xxxxxxxxx

“We must realize that the sphincter, that is to say the part of the anus that regulates bowel movements, has a certain flexibility so that it can withstand any objection imposed and that that area is very vascular, which means that it is rich in blood. so that any injuries can be healed within 24 hours or less than 24 hours.

“But the panel may have forgotten that the same evidence of Sandro, which is medico-legal, clearly states that Sandro has no injury or laceration to his anal, whether fresh or healed.

“So para sa amin there is no basis to charge Jojo and Richard with sexual assault.”

NOEL FERRER

Pagpapatuloy ni Atty. Maggie: “Even the DOJ panel’s findings that there are two cases of lascivious acts have no merit whatsoever.

‘According to the resolution and I quote: ‘In this case, respondents sucked and licked Complainant Sandro’s balls, penis and nipples in their hotel room while Complainant Sandro became helpless from the effects of the drugs and alcohol.’

“However, Sandro’s drug test result shows that he was negative for any illegal substance.

“There is therefore no basis to state that the alleged lascivious acts were committed because Sandro was so weak and dizzy from using drugs and alcohol. Sandro has provided no evidence that he was indeed drugged.

“Even the DOJ admits that the burden is on Sandro to prove his allegations, but the resolution did not specify what evidence Sandro provides proves his allegations. On the contrary, his evidence is inconsistent with his allegations.

“So to us, Sandro has not met the standard of proof that the DOJ even introduced, which is reasonable certainty of conviction.”

Any response from Jojo to Richard for doing this?

Sagot ni Atty. Maggie: “Jojo and Richard are disappointed with the resolution. For them, the grounds given do not support the findings.

“That is why we will appeal this resolution. We may also file requests to quash the information filed with the court.”
