'Kailangan ko ng hustisya': Multiple charges filed vs. 14 cops in robbery-rape case
Fourteen police officers from the PNP Drug Enforcement Group (PDEG) in Calamba, Laguna, have been charged with criminal offenses related to the alleged rape and robbery of an 18-year-old victim in Bacoor City, Cavite.
Charges of robbery in band and carnapping were filed against the officers before the City Prosecutor's Office, and a separate rape complaint was filed against the team leader, a police lieutenant, after the victim identified him.
The incident occurred during a supposed buy-bust operation targeting the victim's boyfriend, who is considered a High-Value Individual.
The operation did not materialize as the target escaped, after which the suspects allegedly entered the victim's home, taking her rings, mobile phone, and a motorcycle.
The victim also went to the National Police Commission (NAPOLCOM) office in Quezon City to file administrative complaints against the involved police officers.
