Rape raps filed against rescue personnel

Robert C. Dejon | March 3, 2022


The team leader of the Energy Development Corporation (EDC) Rescue was nabbed by operatives of the Police Station 5 for sexual assault around 5:15PM February 23 at Purok 1, Brgy Bagong, Ormoc City.


Station 5 Chief-of-Police (COP) Police Captain Omar Cartalla identified the suspect as Julifer Celeste y Gingco, 33, single, EDC Rescue Team Leader and a resident of Purok 3, Brgy. Tongonan, Ormoc City.


The arrest of the suspect was by virtue of a Search Warrant issued February 14, 2022 by Hon. Mario O. Quinit, Presiding Judge, RTC Branch 12 in Ormoc City for the crime of Rape under Article 266-A (1) (b) in relation to Article 266-B (10) of the Revised Penal Code as amended by Republic Act 8353 docketed under CC# R-ORMOC-22-00063-HC with no bail recommended.


The case stemmed after a neighbor of the accused filed a formal complaint at the court that she was allegedly molested by the suspect in their house. The City Prosecutors Office found probable cause of the complaint and elevated it to court resulting to the issuance of a Warrant of Arrest that led to the suspect’s capture.


The suspect was brought to the Police Station 5 in Brgy. Dolores for proper documentation and disposition before being turned-over to the court of origin.
