A senior citizen wanted for statutory rape and three counts of rape was arrested by operatives of the Manila Police District‘s District Police Intelligence and Operations Unit (DPIOU).
DPIOU chief PMaj. Kevin Rey Bautista said that a Simultaneous Anti Criminality Law Enforcement Operation (SACLEO) was conducted through an intelligence-driven police operation which resulted in the arrest of the accused, who is a resident of Zapanta Street in Malate, Manila.
The said arrest of the accused, identified only through his alias as ‘Jun,’ aged 62, was effected along Sitio Greenfield’s, Brgy San Vicente, Municipality of Macalelon, Quezon Province at around 2:30 p.m. on February 12, 2026, by virtue of an alias warrant of arrest issued against the accused for statutory rape and three counts of rape under Art. 266-A par. 1(a) and 2, docketed under CC No. 12-290836-39.
