Adultery raps filed against woman, lover
A 39-YEAR-OLD woman and her alleged lover were charged for adultery before the City Prosecutor’s Office in Bacolod City on Tuesday, June 13, a police official said Wednesday, June 14.
Captain Melvin Mercado, commander of Police Station 8, said the woman’s husband, a policeman assigned at Negros Occidental Police Provincial Office (Nocppo), sought their assistance because his wife was seen along Barangay Singcang-Airport with an unidentified man on Monday evening, June 12.
He said an entrapment operation was conducted along with the complainant that led to the arrest of the suspects, who were caught inside an apartment in the said village.
“It was the complainant, a police corporal whose name is being withheld, knocked on the door and we assisted him along with the Women and Children Protection Desk (WCPD) to arrest his wife and her alleged lover,” he added.
Mercado noted that the complainant and his wife were married in 2019, but they are no longer on good terms for about five years and they have two children.
Mercado said the suspects, whose names are being withheld, are detained at the station’s custodial facility and they are willing to face the charges.
