‘Sextortionist’ cop nabbed in Bulacan
MANILA – Members of the Philippine National Police’s (PNP) anti-scalawag unit arrested a police officer for grave coercion and cybercrime offenses in Bulacan early Thursday.
Brig. Gen. Warren de Leon, chief of the Integrity Monitoring and Enforcement Group (IMEG) said Pat. Julius Ramos, who is assigned at the Service Support Division of the PNP Intelligence Group at Camp Crame, was arrested in an entrapment at around 12:30 a.m.
The operation stemmed from the complaint of the suspect’s former partner that he threatened to leak their intimate videos on social media if she refuses to meet up with him.
During the arrest, the suspect was caught at a traveler’s inn in Barangay Tungkong Mangga, San Jose del Monte City, Bulacan together with the complainant.
The suspect offered to delete the naked video of the complainant stored in his cellphone in exchange for sexual intercourse and coerced the complainant to submit to his will.
The suspect will be charged with administrative and criminal charges of grave coercion, the Cybercrime Prevention Act of 20212, and the Anti-Photo and Video Voyeurism Act of 2009.
The police officer is now detained at the IMEG custodial facility at Camp Crame, Quezon City.
