A 35-year-old man allegedly raped his neighbor twice at her barracks in Tanapag last month.
Police arrested the suspect, Rolando P. Mangalinao, last Friday for sexual assault in the first degree and sexual assault in the second degree.
The victim was taken to the Commonwealth Health Center after she complained of severe pain in her rib cage.
A doctor who checked the victim told police that the rib was “definitely cracked” as he could easily feel that the bone was not intact.
In yesterday’s hearing, Superior Court associate judge Kenneth Govendo set the bail at $50,000.
The preliminary hearing was set for July 31 at 9am.
Detective Andrea C. Ozawa stated in her report that she first learned of the incident from the manager of Guma Esperanza, a local shelter.
Ozawa said she received a call from Guma Esperanza three weeks ago that the victim was taken to CHC for severe pain in her rib cage.
During her interview with the victim, Ozawa found that the victim had moved into the barracks in Tanapag last year and had known Mangalinao since that time.
Mangalinao allegedly raped the victim inside her room twice within the span of two days, resulting in the trauma to the victim’s rib cage.
