Justice has been served for a girl who was allegedly raped inside a hall of justice in 2007. Because of this, the Supreme Court has dismissed him for gross conduct, Also, he will not be able to claim his retirement or work in the government again.
According to ABS-CBN News, a then 14-year-old girl was introduced to a construction and maintenance foreman named Edgardo Salazar through text by her cousin. Edgardo “asked her to be his second wife” and the victim replied telling him that he shouldn’t speak to her that way. After this, the girl and her two cousins went to the hall of justice “supposedly to meet a person who will give them a cellphone.” This person turned out to be Edgardo who was eventually left alone with the girl in his office, where he allegedly sexually abused her.
