IV. FACTS CONSTITUTIVE OF THE CAUSE OF ACCUSATION

7.
On or about 5 September 2017, at around One o'clock in the morning, I arrived in the
lobby of the building and went straight to the elevator to go to my unit on the 12th floor.
8.
The elevator stopped on the 2nd floor and I saw the Respondent also known as Kuya Barr
with his fellow janitor named Arturo Legaspi.
9.
When the elevator was about to close, Kuya Barr immediately entered. We were alone in
the elevator at that time.
10.
I greeted the Respondent but he responded with a strange smile and when we were about
to reach the 10th floor, he suddenly moved closer to me.

11.
I then became suspicious and I wanted to press the emergency button but the Respondent
immediately pulled a gun from his waist and pointed it to my neck using his left hand. With his
right hand he pressed a white cloth soaked with a familiar scent to that of chloroform to which I
fell unconscious.

2
 12.
When I regained my consciousness, I was already in a room which I recognized as the
living room of my unit.

13.
I realized that I was naked and I recognize the Respondent pressing both my hands
against the floor. I tried to grapple against the Respondent but I was overpowered by him,
because of which I sustained bruises and scratch wounds. Respondent managed to force himself
to me by inserting his penis into my vagina causing great physical pain and mental anguish.

14.
I was crying for help and pleaded for the Respondent to stop and get off of me but the
Respondent pointed a gun to my face and inserted the barrel of the gun into my mouth to which I
became helpless.

15.
When Respondent was forcing me to go on top of him, I found the opportunity to hit the
Respondent with a vase from a corner table. I kicked him in the crotch area and I was able to run
out of the room.

16.
In complete nakedness, I ran down the fire exit stairs and continuously cried for help
while running straight to the lobby, and pleaded for help from the security personnel.

17.
When I reached the lobby, I saw the security personnel named Allan Escarez and I
screamed for help. Upon seeing me, Mr. Escarez immediately covered me with blankets. He sent
guards to check my unit and reported the incident to the police authorities.

18.
I was informed by the guards that the Respondent already escaped when they arrived in
my condominium unit. Upon inspection, the police authorities recovered a wallet belonging to
the accused, a gun which I identified as the same one used by the Respondent, and a white cloth
soaked with chemical which turned out to be chloroform.

3
 19.
On or about Three o'clock in the morning, I went to the police station 3 to report the
crime while assisted by the security personnel, Allan Escarez. In the police station, I made a
sworn statement.

20.
After making my sworn statement, I was brought to the Philippine General Hospital
wherein I underwent for medico-legal examination and thereafter treated for the scratches and
bruises I sustained.

21.
At on or about Eight o'clock in the morning of September 20, 2017, I was informed by
the Police Station No. 3 that the Respondent went there to turn himself in and made a confession
while being assisted by a representative of the Public Attorney's Office, Atty. Irene Bianca
Distura, a certified member of the bar.
