Meeting someone on social media has become fairly common now that the internet has made it easier for us to interact with one another. While this appears to be a common medium for communication, there are risks that may endanger ourselves as well as our private information.
Recently, two girls from San Fabian, Pangasinan suffered misfortune upon meeting two guys which they first met on the internet. Unbeknownst to them, this meeting would be perilous.
According to GMA News, the police authorities arrested two men who were accused of raping the two female adolescents. The suspects were later identified as Dave Llena and Norman Maraña.
“Nagkayayaan lang na… bale mag-jamming lang. R*pe po ang kakaharaping kaso [ng mga suspek],” SPO4 Gerardo Ellamil, Mespo of San Fabian Police Station reported.
According to the report, the incident happened on a Friday night. Through Facebook chat, the two suspects decided to ask the two girls out, who happened to also be classmates. The girls quickly acceded to meet up in person and went to one of the men’s homes.
The meeting started cozy when the men offered alcoholic drinks to the victims. After they consumed the drinks, the girls suddenly felt lightheaded so they decided to rest and lay down for a while. From that moment, Dave and Norman took advantage of their vulnerable states and r*ped them.
The suspects are currently facing charges of r*pe. Families of the victims are willing to press charges against the perpetrators. However, as seen in the footage below, Norman Maraña asserted that they didn’t commit the crime.
