CEBU, Philippines - Rape complaints have been filed against two Korean nationals accused of raping two Japanese women inside a motel in Lapu-Lapu City Saturday night.
Operatives of the Criminal Investigation and Detection Group (CIDG) 7 arrested suspects Jong Duk Lee, 34, and Carl Park, 21, after their two victims reported the incident to the police.
Park was arrested at his house in Talamban, Cebu City while Lee was arrested when he visited Park at his detention cell.
Park is reportedly a son of a hotel owner also based in Lapu-Lapu City.
Benjamin Negapatan, legal counsel of the two Koreans said he will file a motion to allow his clients to post bail.
Negapatan also said what happened was “consensual sex” and not rape.

Both Lee and Park are detained at the CIDG-7 detention cell and may be transferred to Lapu-Lapu City Jail in Barangay Mactan.
One of the victims arrived in Cebu on June 21 to visit a Japanese friend and to enjoy Cebu’s beaches.
The victims, aged 21 and 20, were renting an apartment in Lapu-Lapu City.
While walking near their rented apartment, the suspects allegedly befriended them.
Finding the two Koreans friendly, the girls trusted them and gave their cellular phone numbers.
The Koreans, who were in a white car, offered them a ride to a mall in Cebu City but the two girls declined and took a taxi instead.
At the mall, Lee allegedly called and they agreed to meet at a coffee shop.
From the coffee shop, the Koreans brought them to Busay for a round of drinks.
At midnight, they went to a resto bar in Mango Square and had another drinking bout.
The victims claimed that when they were already very drunk and half-conscious, the Koreans brought them to a motel in Lapu-Lapu City.
When they regained consciousness, they noticed that the Koreans were sexually molesting them.
Then, the suspects left them in the room without paying the bills.
With the help of a Filipino friend, they were brought to CIDG-7 where they reported their ordeal.
A room boy testified that the Japanese girls were drunk when they were brought to the room.
The two Koreans insisted that they will share one room and when they left, they said that the girls will settle the bill amounting to P700.
Korean Consulate Consultant Jose Go went to CIDG 7 to assure support for the suspects.
Go said the Korean Consulate is closely monitoring the case. — with Ryan Christopher J. Sorote/MBG
