Philippines Flight Attendant Gangrape Case: Suspect Claims He Is Gay

Following the death of a 23-Year-Old Philippines flight attendant, Christine Angelica Dacera who was allegedly gangraped on the NYE, the Police in the Philippine city of Makati have charged 11 men in connection with the death of Dacera, of which three were arrested.

However, one among the men who were charged with this heinous crime has denied the allegations against him claiming he is gay.

According to a report, the suspect claimed that each man present on New Year's Eve in the hotel was a member of the LGBTQIA+ community and they thought that the woman was comfortable hanging out with them. The accused men also mentioned that they had no sexual attraction towards Dacera. Additionally, they also claimed that they have never been aroused by a woman around but only a man.

The Makati police chief said that only three men knew Dacera personally as they were her friends, the rest of them were strangers to her as they were only introduced to her by her three friends. The chief also reported that the suspects of the case had “conflicting” stories as some of them claimed to be sexually attracted towards men.

Colonel Harold Depositar told the Philippine Daily Inquirer the deadly aneurysm may have been caused by very strenuous activity and a high level of alcohol toxicity. “For sure, there was force inflicted on her body because we found contusions in her leg and knees, and there’s an abrasion in her thigh,” he said. He further added that semen had been found “in multiple places in the hotel rooms.”
