Oldie sued raping minors

BALER, Aurora – A 78-year-old man was charged before the Department of Justice here Wednesday for allegedly raping a 13-year-old girl and her 11-year-old sister on two separate occasions.

Charged for violations of Republic Act 7610 filed before the provincial prosecutor’s office was Dionisio Alarcon, alias Tata Dionisio of Barangay Obligacion here.

Alarcon was accused of sexually abusing Pina and Tina (not their real names) on Feb. 20 and March 26, respectively, in a nipa hut owned by the suspect.

The elder girl said the incident took place when she went with Alarcon at the nipa hut.

She said she slept at the place when her father asked her to accompany Alarcon who was caretaker of her father’s native ducks.

She said that prior to the incident, the suspect gave her money and food and told her they would play “bahay-bahayan.”

The younger victim was accompanied by her two brothers when she went to the nipa hut where Alarcon fed them.

When the two brothers fell asleep, Alarcon sexually abused the victim.

The victim did not immediately report the incident for fear of the suspect who threatened to kill her. -- MG
