1. What criminal charges can be filed against Jerry Arao? Explain your
answer.
”Child” refers to a person below eighteen (18) years of age or one who is
over eighteen (18) but is unable to fully take care of or protect
himself/herself from abuse, neglect, cruelty, exploitation, or
discrimination because of a physical or mental disability or condition.
Here, Sanza and Arya were only 14 and 12 years old, respectively, as
well as the other girls trafficked by Jerry. As there were at least three (3)
trafficked children, the crime was committed in large scale.
2. What if Sanza later on recanted her testimony and all the other girls
were uncooperative with the case since they consider Jerry as their
protector and provider, as a Public Prosecutor, what evidence can you
present in court to prove the guilt of Jerry for the crimes charged as
you mentioned above. Explain your answer.
As the Judge, I will still convict Jerry. Consent of the girls are irrelevant
because while Jerry did not employ force or threat upon them, Jerry
nonetheless took advantage of their vulnerability. The girls were minors
and their ability to discern good and bad are still unreliable.
4. What services from both the private and public sector should be
provided to the girls for their recovery and reintegration back to
society? Explain your answer.
The government should also teach them livelihood skills in order to earn
money for a living and not depend on false promises made by the
syndicates.
