Pinay accuses Kuwaiti cop of rape, abuse


An overseas Filipina worker (OFW) who had multiple lacerations on her neck and cheeks, alleged that a Kuwaiti cop raped and abused her on Monday last week.


The victim, who refused to be identified, claimed that the cop kicked her, brought out a cutter, and slashed her several times on her neck and cheeks.



In a report of GMA Network's “News to Go” program, the victim said, “Dito na dumiretso sa leeg ko [yung cutter], ito siya” as she showed the lacerations on her neck.

“Ginanun niya, tapos sinabi ko pa sakanya bakit mo pa ako nilalaro nang ganito,” she recounted.

According to the victim, who hails from South Cotabato, she was with a friend when a police patrol car pulled over and asked them to stop.

She was asked for a identification card which she had with her but was already expired. She was thus told that she had to come to the police station.

However, instead of being brought to the police station, she claimed that she was brought to a dark alleyway where she was allegedly raped inside the patrol car.

While she was being raped, she was also beaten up by the cop.

The victim said she became unconscious and woke up to find herself in a hospital, where another policeman was said to have brought her.

The suspect is now under police custody.

The victim claimed that an unidentified woman went to the hospital where she was confined and tried to bribe her with money so that she would drop the case against the cop.

However, the victim said she will stand for her rights until justice is achieved.

The Philippine Embassy has already pledged help for the victim.

GMA News Online has already sought word from the Department of Foreign Affairs but it said it has no official statement yet on the issue.
