With the help of his lawyer Atty. Alma Mallonga, Navarro signed the six-page document that allowed Mallonga to file on his behalf criminal charges against the group of student-model Deniece Cornejo, businessman Cedric Lee, and other men in connection with an incident at Cornejo’s condominium unit on January 22.
Mallonga proceeded to the NBI later in the afternoon and filed charges of serious physical injuries, illegal detention, grave threats, unlawful arrest, grave coercion, and blackmail against the group.
On Monday, Mallonga considered the filing of an all-encompassing and non-bailable serious illegal detention case against Cornejo’s group.
Navarro has alleged that the group ganged up on him when he visited Cornejo and that they mauled, tortured, and videotaped him naked, then blackmailed him into paying them P1 million.
Cornejo has claimed that Navarro had attempted to rape him, while Lee has said that he and a companion he identified in one interview as Zimmer Raz caught Navarro with his pants down in the act of forcing sexual contact with Cornejo in her bedroom.
Lee also clarified that the P1 million Navarro had agreed to pay his group was for the damages to Cornejo’s condo that resulted from the scuffle.
Cornejo said on Monday that she will sue Navarro for attempted rape and libel.
