Rita Daniela's lawyer says Archie Alemania's counter-affidavit is 'mere affirmation' of complaint against him


Rita Daniela's lawyer says Archie Alemania's counter-affidavit is 'mere affirmation' of complaint against him

Archie Alemania's counter-affidavit is a "mere affirmation" of the act of lasciviousness complaint that Rita Daniela filed against him, her legal counsel Atty. Maggie Abraham-Garduque said.

In a statement sent to "Fast Talk With Boy Abunda," Abraham-Garduque said that Alemania admitted saying obscene remarks to Daniela in the document.

"He also admitted that while in the car, he touched Rita. Albeit, he said that he uttered those words because he was just being wacky and he made the touches to comfort her, this does not erase the fact that he did the acts complained of," she said.

"He also said in his counter affidavit that when Rita got out of his vehicle, she was very angry. Why would Rita be angry when he did not do something wrong when they were at the car? If he just touched to comfort her?"

The legal counsel said these are "material admissions" that gives "reasonable certainty of conviction" to indict the actor for acts of lasciviousness.

Boy Abunda said "Fast Talk" has been reaching out to Alemania for comment. He has yet to respond as of writing.

Daniela is set to submit her response to Alemania's counter-affidavit on December 17.

Last month, the actress said that she is trying to be OK after what happened.
