Earlier this week, a 17-year-old female student identified only as “Jennilyn” met up for the first time with her 24-year-old textmate Crisanto Fungas in Sampaloc, Manila.
As revealed in the Journal Online report by Itchie G. Cabayan, Fungas brought the girl to a house along M. Dela Fuente Street sometime in the afternoon. Jennilyn related that they ate and had softdrinks.
Jennilyn said that she then got dizzy and passed out. She was naked when she awoke. She got her clothes on and quickly got out of the house.
As Jennilyn ran, she chanced upon Nerio Valencia, 47, a government employee. She asked help from him.
Valencia took pity on the girl and accompanied her to the police station so she could file a formal complaint. This immediately led to the suspect’s arrest.
Fungas is now detained at the Manila Police District-Police Station 4. He has been charged with rape before the Manila Prosecutor’s Office.
