Cagayan, Philippines − A Pastor in Solana, Cagayan, who is accused of sexually assaulting his 13-year-old daughter, threatened to kill his own family if they don’t drop the charges against him, according to a report by Cagayan Provincial Information Office.


In the report, it said that the 54-year-old suspect who is a Pastor of a certain religious sector in Solana was arrested last July 7, 2021, and was charged with 7 counts of rape, illegal possession of firearms, and violation of Republic Act 9262 or the Anti-Violence Against Women and Their Children Act of 2004.


However, despite being in jail, police said he continues to threaten his own wife and daughter that he is going to get back and kill them if they are not going to drop the charges filed against him.

The charges were filed against the suspect after his own wife and 13-year-old daughter reported him to the police for sexually assaulting the latter seven times from 2020 to earlier months of 2021.


Additionally, based on the sworn statement of the suspect’s wife, she described that they experienced hell-like life with the suspect due to what he did to their daughter.


She further revealed that the suspect vowed to kill them if they report his evil deeds to the police.

The wife added that her husband often pointed his gun at them.


After enduring the abuse, the suspect’s wife and daughter finally had the chance to escape and went to Solana Police Station to report him last March 6. However, by then, the suspect already hid.


After 4 months of hiding, the suspect was arrested by the operatives in which the police discovered and confiscated a homemade shotgun, ammunition of 12-gauge shotgun, and one empty shell.
