Rape victim

THE EAR - The Freeman
August 3, 2015 | 10:00am

RAPE. A non-Catholic woman was raped by a Roman Catholic man in Bohol. Now the woman feels she's pregnant and wants the rapist to marry her. But her parents say:  "No way." The rape victim asked The Ear for advice. She was referred to a priest for whatever advice he could give.

PROMISE. Unfortunately, the priest has left for the US for a fund-raising mission. But he promised to see the woman upon his return. "Tingali nanganak na ko ini'g balik niya," lamented the woman.
