00:00 Denise Cornejo admitted that the court's decision was calm according to her statement.
00:05 Only one out of four sentenced prisoners were found by the authorities.
00:11 Sally Marie Fran has a report.
00:13 The RTC Branch 153's charge is guilty beyond reasonable doubt against Denise Cornejo, Cedric Lee, Simeon Palmaras, and Ferdinand Guerrero.
00:27 This is similar to the case of Serious Illegal Detention for Ransom, which was initiated by the host, Vong Navarro.
00:32 The court's sentence is a 20 to 40-year prison term.
00:38 Four of the four were cancelled.
00:40 From the court, Cornejo and Raz were sentenced to a police charge for mug shot and medical process.
00:47 In the Correctional Institution for Women, Cornejo will remain in Mandaluyong.
00:52 Raz, on the other hand, will remain in Bilibid, Montinlupa.
00:55 The case of mugging Navarro was initiated in 2014.
00:59 According to Navarro's record, he was mugged and was led by Lee's group.
01:04 He was also stopped in exchange for his freedom.
01:07 In defense of Lee's group, they detained the actor as a citizen's arrest, but Navarro's attempt to rape Cornejo was not.
01:14 Navarro, Cornejo, Lee and five others were sentenced to Serious Illegal Detention for Ransom.
01:20 The case against Bernice Lee and another accused was dismissed.
01:24 Cornejo was sued for rape and acts of lasciviousness while Navarro was detained in 2022 for this.
01:34 But the Supreme Court dismissed the case in February 2023.
01:39 The Supreme Court itself said that nothing happened, there is no evidence to show that Mr. Vong Navarro committed any crime which would have justified his being detained.
01:50 The court also said that the fact of detention is clear.
01:56 It is also clear to the court that Mr. Vong Navarro sustained serious physical injuries.
02:02 Cornejo's uncle was saddened by the decision.
02:05 We were very sad and shocked that the judge made such a decision.
02:09 We were not shown anger or tears.
02:14 I guess it's our faith, our Christian faith that gave us peace of mind.
02:19 Knowing that somehow, sooner or later, God's justice will prevail.
02:24 We are continuously getting panic from the two accused.
02:27 In Lima Refra, for GMA Integrated News.
