00:00Three men were arrested for separate allegations of abuse against minors.
00:06Witness, John Consulta.
00:12The 41-year-old man was not alone when he was arrested by the NBI-Cavite North agents in San Pablo, Laguna.
00:20He was arrested for abuse against two of his children, including his own son, who is only 4 years old.
00:28Two of his children were not able to pay for what he was doing.
00:33He complained to the NBI through a non-governmental organization.
00:41So the NBI worked on him.
00:43And we were able to prove that his own 4-year-old son molested him as well.
00:50According to the NBI, the suspect took advantage of the fact that the mother of the victims was not present
00:55and was working in Saudi Arabia.
00:58According to the NBI, the victims were pointing knives at them every time they were molested
01:03and were afraid that their grandmother would kill them if they did not obey her will.
01:08This started when his stepdaughter was only 17 years old.
01:14She started molesting the child.
01:19Their guardian is only their father, including our three victims.
01:24They do not have any other family members.
01:26The suspect was charged with rape, child abuse, and expanded anti-trafficking in persons act.
01:34I have no regrets, sir, because I did not do anything.
01:38A grandmother was also arrested by the NBI for molesting a 10-year-old girl.
01:44The 63-year-old suspect is the father of the victim's stepmother and is considered her guardian.
01:50The suspect started molesting the victim when she was only 10 years old in 2019.
01:59And in 2022, there was a violent assault on the victim.
02:07In 2022, the victim told her class advisor what happened.
02:12She also informed her stepmother and reported the crime.
02:16According to the accused, the victim was only 4 years old when she was molested.
02:21She asked if the victim was raped and raped.
02:24No, sir.
02:25I did not touch her.
02:27I felt a tingling sensation in my heart.
02:29I was just looking at my cellphone.
02:33No, sir.
02:34I did not rape her.
02:35On April 11, last year, the arrest warrant was issued against the accused in the case of statutory rape.
02:42We are from Baras Police.
02:44We were arrested in Baras, Rizal.
02:48The 57-year-old man who was arrested inside his house in Baras, Rizal, was also charged with statutory rape and rape by sexual assault.
02:58He was assisted by a 11-year-old victim.
03:02According to the police, the man was arrested as a child caretaker before his mother left to work abroad.
03:10The accused is a family friend.
03:12The incident of the victim happened twice.
03:18In 2023, May and July.
03:21The crime was reported last June 2024.
03:27The victim was not able to speak to her parents because the accused threatened to release her.
03:33The accused denied the accusation.
03:36I did not touch the child.
03:38I was not at home.
03:42I had a job back then.
03:44I forced them to have children because I felt sorry for them.
03:47They were talking to their mother.
03:49There was no way for them to have children.
03:55For GMA Integrated News, I am John Consulta, your witness.
