A former Roman Catholic priest landed in jail yesterday after his secretary accused him of attempting to rape her inside his home-office in Caloocan City.
The alleged attempted rape happened around 10 p.m. on Sept. 5 inside the suspect’s home which he also used as his office for his recruitment agency, police said.
Police arrested Richard Tabila, 38, owner of Yaweh Manpower Agency, yesterday morning after his secretary Marvy Florendo, 31, complained that he tried to rape her in his home-office at Paz Street in Morning Breeze subdivision.
Florendo said she agreed to have some beer with Tabila on the evening of Sept. 5 but after several bottles of beer, Tabila allegedly burned her lips with a cigarette and hit her with a plastic bottle of water for no apparent reason.
