MANILA, Philippines — A police officer, who is also a digital content creator, is currently under restrictive custody for allegedly raping a woman in Batangas, according to the Philippine National Police (PNP).
In a press briefing on Monday, PNP Spokesperson Brig. Gen. Jean Fajardo said Senior Master Sergeant Teejay Virtucio has been at the regional headquarters of Calabarzon police since January 10.
“Tinanggalan na rin siya ng tsapa, tinanggalan na rin siya ng baril at ongoing yung pagdinig ng kanyang administrative case,” Fajardo said.

Her mental state is unstable because of trauma.)
Fajardo opted not to disclose the identity of the victim but gave the assurance that the Batangas Police Provincial Office (PPO) is already monitoring her family.
She noted that authorities are still tracking down Virtucio’s cohort, who remains at large.
The PNP official disclosed that there were signs of “trauma” and “penetration” on the victim’s private parts based on the results of the medico-legal report.
“This is a very sensitive and delicate case so I hope you understand, we really cannot give further details about the victim,” she said.
Fajardo said they are still waiting for the result of the toxicology test since the suspects reportedly asked the victim to take something before they allegedly raped her.
