Teenager gang-raped, 5 suspects arrested

A 19-year-old teenager was gang-raped by the five arrested suspects, including a 16-year-old boy last night in Meycauayan City, Bulacan.

In the report of P / Lt. Col. Aquino Olivar, chief of the Meycauayan City police, authorities identified the five suspects as Renz Justin Pineda, 19; Jan Fulgencio, 18; Marvin Tulgencio, 20; Joven Osias, 19, and a 16-year-old named “Boy.”

During the initial investigation, the young suspects offered the victim “Glenda” to have a drinking session with them.

When the victim got drunk, instead of bringing her home, the suspects brought Glenda to an abandoned warehouse in an unidentified barangay where the teenager was gang-raped at around 11:48 pm.

The victim was able to escape while the suspects were asleep. She immediately informed the police, which resulted in the suspects’ quick arrest.

Glenda allegedly knows the suspects, so she trusted and had a drinking session with them.
