2 policemen placed under preventive custody for allegedly molesting a female colleague in Marikina
The incident reportedly happened last Aug. 17, 2025 while the unidentified policewoman and the two suspects, a staff sergeant and a patrolman, were on duty.
Brig. Gen. Aden Lagradante, EPD District Director, said the complainant recounted that her colleagues parked the police vehicle and one of them allegedly touched her private part., This news data comes from:http://nmxi-mfcr-rcwb-vd.771bg.com
“The report I read said she was only touched, but as to the sexual act it is not yet clear,” Lagradante said.
The victim delayed filing her complaint after her colleagues allegedly told her to keep silent.
“She was told, ‘this is just among us.’ Then after several days, the victim realized she had to report,” Lagradante said.
The suspects have been disarmed and face both administrative and criminal cases once the allegations are proven.
The policewoman has since been transferred to the EPD headquarters where she was described as "emotionally distressed" although "stable."
