The operatives of Operation Detection Section of the Criminal Investigation and Detection Group in Central Visayas (CIDG 7) led by Captain Fritz Blanco served the warrant that led to the arrest of Franklyn (name withheld to protect the dignity of the child), a resident of the said place.
Judge Judilyn Hugo Tapia-Menchaves from the Seventh Judicial Region Branch 8 of Toledo City, midwest Cebu issued the warrant of arrest with no bail recommended for the suspect’s rape case.
Franklyn is also facing four counts of acts of lasciviousness with a bail P200,000 for each count.
Franklyn, however, admitted to the crime during police interrogation.
He revealed the incident happened in May this year when he and his mother-in-law went to Aloguinsan town, midwest Cebu, where the girl resides.
He added he was also drunk at the time of the incident.
The innocent girl immediately reported to her grandfather, who then notified her parents about the incident.
The parents then reported the matter to the police together with the girl.
Franklyn was reportedly listed as the Top 1 Most Wanted Person in the province of Cebu.
The suspect is currently detained at the CIDG 7 regional headquarter. (BBT, TPT)
