In a message to Abante Entertainment editor Jun Lalin, Atty. Maggie Abraham-Garduque, counsel for Cruz and Nones, said they had received a copy of Muhlach’s administrative complaint. They filed it at GMA Network. Richard Cruz and Jojo Nones have five days to respond.
“We confirmed receipt of the formal complaint for SEXUAL HARASSMENT (Hindi rape) filed by 23 or 26-year-old Sandro (basta hindi bata ha),” Garduque said in the text message.
The attorney prefers not to reveal the full details of the complaint. However, Abraham-Garduque said that one piece of evidence presented by Sandro Muhlach needed verification. The evidence in question shows that the respondents enticed him to go up to their room.

“I don’t want to go to details, but I just want to say that in every proceeding, whether that is administrative or criminal, the person who alleged has the burden to prove. In the formal complaint, Mr. Muhlach alleged that our clients lured him to go up to the hotel room,” said Abraham-Garduque. “However, his own evidence proves otherwise. Based on the text messages, it was Mr. Muhlach who messaged Mr. Nones with ‘Andyan pa ba kayo sir? Baka po pwede dumaan saglit haha,’” she added.
Showbiz insider Ogie Diaz received information from the Muhlach camp.They said one of the accused told the young actor to come to the hotel room to be with Richard Cruz and Jojo Nones. Diaz’s source also mentioned that Sandro Muhlach was persuaded to take an illegal substance. This substance made him hallucinate before the alleged sexual abuse occurred.
Several media outlets have already contacted the Muhlach camp but have not received a reply as of this writing.
