Bacoor court issues arrest warrant vs. Archie Alemania

A Bacoor court has issued an arrest warrant against Archie Alemania in connection to the acts of lasciviousness case filed against him by actress Rita Daniela.

In an order dated March 18, the Bacoor City Municipal Trial Court in Cities Branch 2 said Alemania may post bail in the amount of P36,000.

“After a careful evaluation of the information, the resolution, investigation data form, the complaint affidavit of the complaining witness, and other pertinent documents, the court finds probable cause to hold the accused for trial,” it read.

“Considering that the accused is at large, let a warrant of arrest be issued against him,” it added.

GMA News Online is trying to reach out to Alemania’s camp for comment

Bacoor prosecutors indicted Alemania in March after they found prima facie case with reasonable certainty of conviction. They also recommended that Alemania be penalized under Article 336 of the Revised Penal Code.

In Daniela's complaint, she alleged that Alemania kissed and touched her without consent and repeatedly made inappropriate remarks against her after a Thanksgiving party last September. During the party, Alemania already made obscene remarks towards Daniela.

Last December, Alemania submitted a counter-affidavit at the Bacoor Hall of Justice in response to the complaint filed by Daniela. Alemania's camp declined to give a comment, but the prosecutor said the counter-affidavit denies the allegations Daniela made.
