00:00 A Taguig City Court convicts businessman Cedric Lee, model Denise Cornejo, and two
00:05 others of serious illegal detention for ransom in the case filed by actor-comedian Vaughn
00:10 Navarro.
00:11 Lee, Cornejo, Ferdinand Guerrero, and Simeon Palmaraz were found guilty beyond reasonable
00:16 doubt.
00:17 The court sentenced them to reclusion perpetua and canceled their bail bond.
00:20 They can still file an appeal.
00:22 ABS-CBN News reports Cornejo, who was present during the promulgation, was immediately committed
00:27 by the court.
00:28 The court also issued a warrant of arrest for Lee.
00:30 In 2014, Navarro accused Lee's camp of serious illegal detention, saying the group detained
00:36 him in Cornejo's Bonifacio Global City condominium unit on January 22, 2014, by threatening him
00:42 and intimidating him with firearms.
00:44 Cornejo had accused Navarro of raping her.
00:47 In 2023, the Supreme Court dismissed the rape and acts of lasciviousness charges filed by
00:51 Cornejo against Navarro.
