African in coed’s rape in Baguio charged

 

BAGUIO CITY —An African national residing here is now facing charges for allegedly raping a teenager in the city last week.  

A police report said the suspect was 24 years old, while the victim was a 19-year-old student. 

As recounted by the victim to police when she reported the matter to them, the two met at a gym here at Lower Bonifacio Street on Feb. 8.

At that time, the man drove the young woman to her boarding house and the latter gave her social media account when he asked for it.

On the evening of the same day, the man invited the victim to have dinner outside, to which the victim agreed.

However, as soon as the two met, the man invited her to have a drink. 

The girl refused, but the suspect suggested to do the drinking at her boarding house.

Once they reached her boarding house, the suspect asked her again to have a drink.

Despite her refusal as she had kidney problems, the woman was forced to do so.  When she was already drunk, the suspect took advantage of her. 

Charges were filed against the accused Tuesday, Feb. 11.
