The Court of Appeals has ordered the City Prosecutor of Taguig City to file rape and acts of lasciviousness charges against TV host and actor Ferdinand “Vhong” Navarro on complaints filed by model-stylist Deniece Milinette Cornejo.

Apart from procedural flaws in the evidence filing, the DOJ noted that even an assumption that Navaro has the "propensity to rape women" does not cure Cornejo's "incredible account of the incident, especially her belated, much belated, account of her having been raped" by the actor on Jan. 17, 2014.
"We reiterate once more that the preliminary investigation is not the proper venue to rule on the respondent’s guilt or innocence," it added.
