Justice remains elusive for 15-yr-old girl who was killed after filing sex assault case vs 2 Ilocos Sur cops
She was the 15-year-old girl from Ilocos Sur, who was gunned down a few hours after she lodged sex assault complaints against two policemen she accused of molesting her, and raping her 18-year-old cousin after they were accosted for curfew violation two months ago.
While the Acts of Lasciviousness charge was dismissed, Azurin said the hearing on the administrative cases in connection with the death of Fabella, the rape of her cousin, the initial investigation which disclosed that Torda and Ramos were drunk while on duty, and their failure to turn over the two victims to proper authorities after they were accosted for curfew violation, were still on-going.
Instead of following the procedures of turning them over to the police station, the two policemen allegedly took them to a secluded area where the 18-year old girl was raped while Fabella was molested. Fabella was able to escape. Azurin said the cases were filed before the DOJ main office in Manila by the Integrity Monitoring and Enforcement Group in order to ensure that the criminal cases will not be influenced by the two local policemen, or any of their backers.
