CEBU – Philippine authorities are holding a Kenyan national accused of raping a local saleswoman in Cebu City in the Visayas region, reports said.
It said the foreigner was arrested by the local police after the 22-year old woman accused him of physically and sexually abusing her, an allegation he strongly denied.
The suspect alleged that he paid the woman for sex, but police claimed the Kenyan man was also involved in a similar case in the past.
The woman, who works as a sales agent, said she went to the Kenyan man’s rented house in Banilad village on an official business, but the foreigner allegedly prevented her from leaving and eventually abused her. She was able to escape after he went to the bathroom.
Police are investigating the case. No other details were made available by the authorities about the foreigner and it was unknown whether the Kenyan Embassy in Manila has been notified about the recent arrest of its national. (Cebu Examiner)
