People v. Tanglao

Jurisprudence

Case number: G.R. No. 219963

Division: PH Supreme Court Third Division

Date of decision: Jun 13, 2018

Year of decision: 2018

GBV Case Type

Child Rape
Minor
Rape

Nature of the case: The accused, who is the victim's father with lewd design and taking advantage of his superior strength as a father, had sexual intercourse with his 7-year-old daughter against the latter’s will. The accused primarily anchored his defense on the assertion that the victim could not have been truthful in her narration of what took place on 14 September 2001, because she failed to state that prior to that incident she and the accused had gone to the NBI to complain about the victim’s mother, live-in partner and uncle. The Court was not convinced. Accordingly, the accused was found GUILTY beyond reasonable doubt of Rape under Art. 266-A of R.A. No. 8353 and is sentenced to suffer the penalty of reclusion perpetua without eligibility for parole.

Summary of outcome: He is sentenced to suffer the penalty of reclusion perpetua without eligibility for parole and is ordered to pay the victim civil indemnity of P100,000.00; moral damages of P100,000.00; and exemplary damages of P100,000.00; with interest at the rate of six percent (6%) per annum reckoned from the finality of the Decision until full payment.
