Quiboloy cases from Davao City to Quezon City
By J.Lo
“Court found compelling reasons to justify transfer of venue as cases involve public interest, with accused, well-known religious leader, being influential in the area,” Supreme Court (SC) has granted request of Department of Justice to transfer child and sexual abuse cases of fugitive doomsday preacher Apollo Quiboloy.
SC granted request of DOJ to “avoid miscarriage of justice.”
“As this could cause local biases and strong possibility that witnesses cannot freely testify due to fear and influence of accused, Court found it prudent and judicious to order transfer of cases to Quezon City,” it added.
SC also instructed judges in Davao City and other Mindanao stations, where future related cases involving Quiboloy and his co-accused might be filed, to independently order transfer of case records to Office of Clerk of Court of RTC and Metropolitan Trial Court in Quezon City.
High court also ordered Quezon City RTC Executive Judge to raffle cases.
Quiboloy and his associates have been charged for child abuse and sexual abuse offenses due to their alleged abuses of members of preacher’s “church”, Kingdom of Jesus Christ or KOJC.
On April 3, Davao court issued warrant of arrest against preacher and his associates, namely Jackielyn Roy, Cresente Canada, Paulene Canada, Ingrid Canada and Sylvia Cemañes.
Aside from this, non-bailable qualified human trafficking case is lodged before Pasig City court against them.
