Mom reports son’s rape of 3 sisters

Ding Cervantes - The Philippine Star

SAN FERNANDO, Pampanga , Philippines   â€“ A mother turned in her own 21-year-old son after learning that he had raped his three younger sisters in Gerona, Tarlac.

The mother accompanied the eldest of her three daughters, aged eight, to the Gerona police station after she found out that her son had raped all his three younger sisters at different times in their home.

The woman, however, asked not to be named complainant in the case of her two other daughters, leaving the police on their own to pursue the charges based on the testimony and the medical report of the eight-year-old girl, said Superintendent Ponciano Zafra, Gerona police chief.

Zafra personally led the arrest of the woman’s son who is now facing charges of statutory rape under Republic Act 7610 and violation of the Anti-Abuse Against Women and Children Law.

PO3 Levy Santos, who is assigned to the case, said the suspect is now detained without right to post bail.

He said a medical exam showed that the eight-year-old girl had “multi-abrasions in her private parts.”

Police said the suspect’s grandfather was convicted for raping a relative in 2007, while an uncle was arrested in 2010 due to the rape complaints of three relatives.
