There must be a special place in Hell for crooks such as these:
Meet Cesario Darantino, a former cop who has been accused of rape by no less than six women, including the wife of a fellow police officer.
I just happened to read the Sunstar article this morning and I was utterly disgusted by this news. As far as my opinion goes, the three worst types of crime in this world, based on the psychological impact on the victims and the sheer evil necessary in the part of the perpetrator to commit the crime, are murder, torture and rape. Yet this rape case descends to a new low because the suspect in question is a cop, a public servant whose task is to serve and protect (not to mention that he is also sullying the occupation that my cousins are into makes him all the more despicable).
I don't know about you but I believe that, here in the Philippines, if a woman accuses a man of rape, there's a very, very, very big possibility that the suspect is guilty. That's because accusing someone of rape takes a lot of courage and in this chauvinistic country of mine, there are many societal factors which try to silence the victims. For instance, in this particular case, there is always the very real threat of the suspect exacting "revenge" or for a "high ranking official" to turn his cowardly back on the women by withdrawing support. Clearly, the person who accuses someone of rape has a lot to lose and so little to gain. So forgive me for judging the suspect guilty until proven innocent because the odds of the women telling the truth is quite high (and haven't I told you that most of the rape victims are also police officers?).
In the end, all I can do is hope and pray that these women be granted justice.
And can somebody cut off this man's organ too? Thank you.
