THE Supreme Court (SC) has dismissed the charges of rape and acts of lasciviousness against TV host Ferdinand 'Vhong' Navarro for lack of probable cause.
The court's Third Division reversed the ruling issued last year by the Court of Appeals , saying the appellate court 'gravely erred' when it granted the appeal of model Deniece Cornejo.
'To suggest that a prosecutor turn a blind eye to such glaring and manifest inconsistencies--under the premise that the evaluation thereof would already touch on the complainant's credibility to be solely assessed in a full-blown trial--would be to compel the prosecutor to satisfy himself or herself to mere allegations in a complaint, and abdicate his or her bounden duty to screen cases for trial, thus passing the buck to the trial courts,' it added.
