                    [Summary] => Dismissed Anonas police station chief, Superintendent Francisco Ovilla, was acquitted yesterday of a charge that he raped a 20-year-old woman while in police custody.


His acquittal hinged on the retraction of the complainant, May Gines, said Quezon City Regional Trial Court Branch 76 Judge Monina Zeñarosa who tried the case.


"The private complainant herself made it loud and clear that she belies the charge as false and it would be impossible to prove the guilt of the accused beyond reasonable doubt," said the judge in her three-page ruling.
