CAMP VICENTE LIM, Laguna, Philippines — After one week, the six remaining police officers accused of involvement in the rape and robbery of a Grade 9 student surrendered to authorities on Sunday.

The six – two corporals and four patrolmen – voluntarily gave themselves up to their superior in the Police Drug Enforcement Group (PDEG) Special Operations Unit in Calabarzon.

Eight others were arrested inside the PDEG-4A office at Camp Vicente Lim on Nov. 22.

The Bacoor police filed charges for rape and robbery against the 14 officers who took part in a drug raid at the house of the girl’s boyfriend, who managed to escape.

The girl claimed she was sexually abused and her cell phone taken during the incident.
