VHONG NAVARRO ORDERED ARRESTED, SURRENDERS

A warrant of arrest was issued by a Taguig court against comedian and television host Vhong Navarro on September 19.

This stemmed from the acts of lasciviousness filed by model Deniece Cornejo. Bail was set at P36,000 for his provisional liberty.

In June 2022, the Court of Appeals (CA) 14th Division reversed and set aside the Department of Justice’s (DOJ) previous resolutions from 2018 and 2020, which dismissed Cornejo’s complaint against Vhong.


His lawyer Alma Mallonga, said the actor will surrender to the National Bureau of Investigation (NBI) while continuing to seek reconsideration of the said warrant, adding that the acdtor is a victim of the crimes of Serious Illegal Detention and Grave Coercion.

It will be recalled that Cornejo filed a case against Navarro for alleged sexual assault on January 22, 2014.

On the other hand, Navarroclaimed that Cornejo, Cedric Lee and their companions harmed and extorted from him.

This was countered by the camp of Cornejo by saying that the actor got his injuries when the model’s companions caught him while attempting to sexually assault her.


As of presstime, Navarro was said to have surrendered to the NBI.
