QC prosecutor clears Vhong from another rape charge

MANILA, Philippines - The Quezon City Prosecutors’ Office has cleared TV host and actor Vhong’ Navarro from the rape complaint filed by a stunt woman against him last April for lack of sufficient grounds.
 
In a resolution, Assistant City Prosecutor John Patrick Corpuz dismissed the complaint of Margarita “Mai’’ Fajardo against Navarro.
 
Fajardo alleged that Navarro forced her into performing oral sex on him inside the actor’s sports utility vehicle during the last few weeks of the taping of the telenovela “ Betty Lafea’’ five years ago.
 
Corpuz noted that Fajardo failed to explain how Navarro grabbed, pulled and forced her to perform oral sex on the actor. 
 
"The degree on how the said action were made are necessary to determine whether or not complainant who is able bodied and of sound mind was deprived, vitrated and impaired of freedom to struggle and resist the forceful act being inflicted on her person," the resolution read.
 
Corpuz said that there was no evidence to show that Fajardo was threatened by Navarro with physical harm or with a weapon during the supposed incident.
