Novaliches Police Station 4 commander Lt. Col. Jerry Castillo said the victim and a fellow applicant agreed to have a drink with Abool.

“After a while, the victim felt dizzy and went to the comfort room while her co-applicant left her. Then and there, Abool took advantage of the situation, motivated by lust and lewd [desire], raped the victim,” Castillo said in a statement.
