The Department of Justice (DOJ) files case against doctor Hayden Kho for violation of the Violence Against Women and Children Act but the embattled doctor’s camp said they are seeking to stop the case.

The case arise from the spread of copies of sex videos showing Hayden Kho engaging in sexual acts with several women, including Katrina Halili.

The complaint filed by Katrina was the basis of the case filed by the DOJ to the Pasig Regional Trial Court against Kho for alleged violation of Republic Act (RA) 9262 or the “Anti-Violence Against Women and Children Act.”

The DOJ, in its resolution on the preliminary investigation of the case, said “we find that the evidence presented by complainant during the preliminary investigation merit the prosecution of said respondent for violation of RA 9262.”

The DOJ said that while Kho said he was not responsible for the spread of the video, the video recording of his sexual acts “clearly shows and manifests his lack of respect for women. He cannot simply justify said act with a disclaimer that the videotaping was not meant to be shown to anyone. He should own up and be responsible for his actions particularly when it affects another person’s right and dignity.”

The complaints, meanwhile, against Dr. Vicki Belo, Eric Johnston Chua, Dr. Herbert “Bistek” Rosario, and Princess Velasco, who have been charged along with Kho, were dismissed.
