A 28-year-old man was arrested in Cebu City for alleged acts of lasciviousness. The complainant is a 19-year-old student.

The two were said to be in a modern jeepney from Talisay City bound for Cebu City, which is approximately 12 kilometers away. The two were both standing in the vehicle.

The complainant said she noticed the man allegedly rubbing his genitals intentionally against her butt. She reportedly tried to move a bit forward even though the vehicle was packed with other passengers to give space between them. 

However, the man also moved closer to her, she said.

At first, she said, she tried to be patient with the man because while the vehicle was in motion, the man could have had a hard time keeping his balance at every brake-stop. But when she felt that the man allegedly still kept rubbing his genitals against her, even though the driver has not pressed on the brakes, she grabbed the man’s privates and squeezed it hard, which angered the man and caused a commotion.

Policemen in the area took the man to the Police Station 7 in Barangay Inayawan but he was released later when the woman signed an affidavit of no interest to file a case.
