Model Deniece Cornejo surrendered to the Philippine National Police (PNP) after weeks of evading arrest. The PNP said Cornejo met with police chief Alan Purisima at his office Monday. Cornejo had a standing arrest warrant issued by a Taguig court. She and 6 others face serious illegal detention and grave coercion charges over the beating of actor Vhong Navarro. Cornejo claims Navarro raped her, but her complaint was dismissed for lack of probable cause. Cornejo’s camp has been battling public criticism after the National Bureau of Investigation (NBI) released footage from the condominium where the mauling took place. The NBI claimed that based on the footage, rape couldn’t have occurred given the time span that Cornejo and Navarro were together. Cornejo’s legal counsel countered that court rulings say rape may be consummated within a minute. The Navarro-Cornejo incident went viral on social media, with the video of the battered Navarro sharing his story in TV interviews.
