MOVIE personality Katrina Halili on Thursday submitted to the National Bureau of Investigation (NBI) additional documents that will be vital in the bureau’s investigation on the spread of video clips of her and Hayden Kho’s intimate moments on the Internet.
As the bureau’s investigation enters its second phase—the uploading and distribution of the sex video—Halili submitted additional documents to the NBI’s Anti-Fraud and Computer Crimes Division (NBI-AFCCD). She was accompanied by her lawyer Raymund Palad.
NBI Assistant Regional Director Vicente de Guzman III, AFCCD chief, said the NBI is now waiting for the information from their United States (US) counterpart in uncovering Internet protocol (IP) to establish the identity of the uploader.
De Guzman said the bureau had already raided the place of the administrators of the web site that led to the filing of charges against them.
“The bureau had already uncovered the administrator of the web site and charges had been filed against them. But the person who gave the sex video to the web site remain unidentified. The person uses a G-mail account and G-mail is US -based. The Department of Justice [DOJ] requested the US Justice Department to help trace the IP address. We are now waiting for the information,” de Guzman said.
The administrators of the web site that allegedly first posted the sex video were charged with immoral doctrines, obscene publications and exhibitions and indecent shows.
“The criminal case is now being heard in court,” said de Guzman.
Palad said the DOJ asked the NBI to also investigate four more persons to determine those behind the uploading and distribution of the sex video of Halili and Kho.
Aside from Kho, Victoria Belo, Erick Johnston Chua, Mark Herbert “Bistek” Rosario and Princess Marie Velasco, the DOJ also asked the NBI to investigate four more—Cris Arenas, Cedric Lee, Manuel “Boyet” Villaroman and Joey Umandap—to determine their alleged participation, if any, Palad disclosed.
“The new names did not come from us. Miss Halili did not even know them. But their names were mentioned during the hearings at the DOJ and the Professional Regulation Commission,” Palad said.
Citing the directive of the DOJ to the NBI, Palad said the aim of the second phase of investigation is to determine their participation and responsibility, if any, in the proliferation, distribution and uploading of the sex video of Halili and Kho.
Reports said the investigating panel, led by Senior State Prosecutor Emilie Fe de los Santos, found probable cause to indict Kho for violation of the Anti-Violence Against Women and Children Act, or Republic Act 9262.
“Respondent Kho’s act of video-taping his very intimate moments with complainant, who obviously did not know what he was doing, clearly shows and manifests his lack of respect for women,” the prosecutor said.
