Student allegedly raped by drinking buddies in Cagayan de Oro City | (inquirer.net)

CAGAYAN DE ORO CITY — Five young men in this city were facing a complaint for allegedly
raping a college student, who reportedly joined the 21st birthday celebration of one of the suspects,
police reported Wednesday.

Major Even Viñas, the city police spokesperson, said the alleged gang-rape of a tourism
management student reportedly happened inside the celebrator’s boarding house where she had been
invited to join the drinking session.

Police also said that in the middle of the drinking session, the victim allegedly became drunk
and took a nap on the celebrator’s bed before going home. But upon waking up, she realized that two
of the suspects allegedly took turns in violating her, while another one was taking a video of what was
going on and the other two acted as lookouts.

Police said three of the suspects had been arrested, while one remained at-large. Another
suspect, who is a minor, was likewise held by the arresting team.

Viñas identified the suspects as Jemboy Toñacao, 21; Clint Caballero, 18; Jason Veter, of legal
age; Junel Pabingwit, 24; and a 17-year-old.

In a radio interview, the alleged video taker claimed he was with the group but had to rush
back to school to attend his classes.

He also claimed that when he returned later on to the boarding house, he already saw the
other suspects molesting the woman. He further said he was just asked to take the video footage.
Viñas said most of the suspects were classmates of the victim.
“We believe it happened due to the effects of the alcoholic drink that they consumed,” he said.
