KINGDOM of Jesus Christ (KOJC) founder Pastor Apollo Quiboloy is facing more legal problems amud reports that two of the five alleged sex slavery victims have expressed williness to testify against him in court.
This comes as Davao City Police chief Colonel Hansel Marantan claimed that three others are still contemplating on the idea of telling everything they know — down to the smallest details on what they’ve been through.
“Doon sa five, ang dalawa ang decided talaga na mag-testify. Yung tatlo nag-iisip pa,” Marantan was quoted as saying during a radio interview.
“We cannot force them kasi by forcing them baka they might be reminded of Quiboloy ka pala eh fino-force mo kami,” he said.
Quiboloy, he claimed, used these minors as his “sex slaves” as young as 12 years old, adding that the alleged victims were given schedules their “pastoral service.”
“At the average, 12 to 13 years old na nag-start sila as, well I call it sex slaves, sex slaves sila ni Quiboloy. Kasi grabe ang attraction ni Quiboloy sa mga minors na ito, that is why I called him a pedophile,” Marantan noted.
Quiboloy’s defense counsel Atty. Israel Torreon however warded off Marantan’s allegations.
“Those are still in the realm of allegations which have yet to be investigated, hence, we appeal to the PNP NOT to subject the said new allegations to so much publicity,” he said in a message.
“After all, presumption of innocence is an important hallmark in our Bill of Rights, hence, we earnestly request the PNP to stick to that fundamental principle in our rule of law,” he added. (ANGEL F. JOSE)
