Man, 19, lands in jail for living in with minor

For living in with a girl four years his junior, a 19-year-old construction worker was arrested and jailed by the police.

The apprehension stemmed from a complaint filed by the girl’s family who sought the help of Manila Department of Social Welfare (MDSW) director Jay De la Fuente.

The MDSW in turn coordinated with the Taguig City police who subsequently nabbed and locked up the construction worker.

Charges for violation of RA 7610 or the “Special Protection of Children Against Abuse, Exploitation and Discrimination Act,” were filed against the man before the Taguig Prosecutor’s Office.
