May he rot in jail.
“Judge Rolando How of Regional Trial Court Branch 257 in Parañaque City judge sentenced a 23-year-old man named Christian Castillo Sun to life in prison for raping and beating up a third year high school student during a party in 2010,” reports Aie Balagtas See in The Philippine Star.
On Oct 6, 2010, Sun, who was then 19, beat up and raped his friend’s drunk cousin, a teenage girl identified only as Irene. He did the same thing to her companion, Harriet.
The report noted: “According to court records, Irene and Harriet were walking past Sun’s house on their way home when a friend of Sun invited them to the birthday party of Sun’s brother. Sun kept forcing the girls to drink and had them sleep in a room. Irene said she was asleep beside Harriet when Sun grabbed her and beat her when she tried to resist her advances. He raped her when she lost consciousness. Irene said when she woke up, she found that her attack came minutes after Sun raped Harriet, who was also drunk.”
Irene filed rape charges. Harriet declined to file charges but testified in court.
The report revealed that “Sun and his parents denied the girls’ allegations.” In fact, Sun’s mother tried but failed to convince Irene to accept PHP30,000 to drop the charges.
