Sotto through his lawyer, Enrique dela Cruz filed the cyberlibel charges under Section 4 of Republic Act 10175 or the Cybercrime Prevention Act of 2012 before the Regional Trial Court in Muntinlupa City.
“In this case, the respondent must be held liable for exemplary damages in order to prevent others from committing similar offenses,” Sotto’s camp said. De la Cruz said that owing to the malicious and defamatory posts by the respondent, Sotto and his family have been subjected and continue to be subjected to public ridicule and contempt.
