Tw: rape In January 2014, Cornejo filed a case against the actor for alleged sexual assault, the night of a controversial incident which left Navarro severely injured.
TV host and actor Vhong Navarro’s legal battle with model Deniece Cornejo is not yet over.
In a decision dated July 21, 2022, the Court of Appeals’ 14th Division reversed and set aside the Department of Justice’s previous resolutions from 2018 and 2020,The CA thus directed the City Prosecutor of Taguig City to file rape by sexual intercourse and acts of lasciviousness charges against the actor.
“Cornejo decries attempted rape on the night of January 22, 2014 while Navarro denies any wrongdoing. We reiterate once more that the preliminary investigation is not the proper venue on the respondent’s guilt or innocence,” the CA said. “Cornejo’s claim that she initially managed to escape Navarro’s unwanted advances, but he caught up with her to further his perverse objective satisfies the element of force and intimidation,” the CA added, stressing that such cases in which credibility between the accuser and the accused is weighed should be happen during a proper court trial.
