The Supreme Court (SC) has reversed the Court of Appeals (CA) as it ordered the dismissal of the charges of rape and acts of lasciviousness filed by model Deniece Cornejo against television host and actor Ferdinand “Vhong” Navarro.

In a decision written by Associate Justice Henri Jean Paul B. Inting, the SC ruled that the CA gravely erred in ordering the Department of Justice to resurrect the rape and acts of lasciviousness charges against Navarro despite the inconsistencies in the complaints filed by Cornejo.

The CA decision reversed and set aside the April 30, 2018 and July 14, 2020 resolutions of the DOJ dismissing the complaint filed by Cornejo in 2014 against Navarro for inconsistencies in her affidavits. “Indeed, no amount of skillful or artful deportment, manner of speaking, or portrayal in a subsequent court proceeding could supplant Comejo's manifestly inconsistent and highly deficient, doubtful, and unclear accounts of her supposed harrowing experience in the hands of Navarro,” the SC said.

In her second complaint, Cornejo accused Navarro of rape. She denied Navarro’s alleged claim that she consented to perform oral sex on him on January 17, 2014.
