Pursuant to Article 336 of the Revised Penal Code, the petitioner, being guilty of acts of lasciviousness, is punished with prision correccional. In the absence of modifying circumstances, prision correccional is imposed in its medium period, which ranges from two (2) years, four (4) months and one day to four (4) years and two (2) months. Applying the Indeterminate Sentence Law, the minimum of the penalty should come from arresto mayor, the penalty next lower than prision correccional which ranges from one (1) month to six (6) months. Accordingly, the Court fixes the indeterminate sentence of three (3) months of arresto mayor, as the minimum, to two (2) years, four (4) months and one day of prision correccional, as the maximum. In acts of lasciviousness, the victim suffers moral injuries because the offender violates her chastity by his lewdness. "Moral damages include physical suffering, mental anguish, fright, serious anxiety, besmirched reputation, wounded feelings, moral shock, social humiliation, and similar injury. Though incapable of pecuniary computation, moral damages may be recovered if they are the proximate result of the defendant's wrongful act for omission."36 Indeed, Article 2219, (3), of the Civil Code expressly recognizes the right of the victim in acts of lasciviousness to recover moral damages.37 Towards that end, the Court, upon its appreciation of the record, decrees that P30,000.00 is a reasonable award of moral damages.38 In addition, AAA was entitled to recover civil indemnity of P20,000.00.39 Under Article 2211 of the Civil Code, the courts are vested with the discretion to impose interest as a part of the damages in crimes and quasi-delicts. In that regard, the moral damages of P20,000.00 shall earn interest of 6% per annum reckoned from the finality of this decision until full payment.40 WHEREFORE, the Court FINDS and PRONOUNCES petitioner NORBERTO CRUZ y BARTOLOME guilty of ACTS OF LASCIVIOUSNESS, and, ACCORDINGLY, PENALIZES him with the indeterminate sentence of three (3) months of arresto mayor, as the minimum, to two (2) years, four (4) months and one day of prision correccional, as the maximum; ORDERS him to pay moral damages of P30,000.00 and civil indemnity of P20,000.00 to the complainant, with interest of 6% per annum on such awards reckoned from the finality of this decision until full payment; and DIRECTS him to pay the costs of suit.
