A 69-year-old dentist from General Santos City was arrested for alleged sexual harassment.
Police said a 15-year-old girl complained that the suspect touched her breast and asked to have sex with her in exchange for free dental services.
“In exchange for sex. Wala nagsugot ang victim...immediately, gi-grab niya ang dughan nga bahin sa victim,” Lagao Police Station Chief, Major Ivan Charles Abastillas, said.
Authorities released the suspect few days after his arrest since the victim and her family decided not to push through with the filing of charges.
Police remind victims of similar incident to immediately report to the authorities and if possible, press charges against the perpetrators.
“Posible nga na-settle nila. Mas maayo gyud og matagaan siya og leksyon kay kaning reklamo is basin naa pa siya’y mabiktima nga lain in the future,” Abastillas added.
