Court: Supreme Court
Division: First Division
Decided: November 10, 2014

Summary

This is a criminal case where Laurencio Guazon y Carino was convicted by the Court of Appeals of qualified rape under the Revised Penal Code. He appealed his conviction to the Supreme Court, which dismissed his appeal on November 10, 2014, finding no reversible error in the CA decision. The Supreme Court affirmed the conviction and sentence of reclusion perpetua without eligibility for parole, but modified the damages awards to P100,000.00 each for civil indemnity, moral damages, and exemplary damages, with 6% legal interest per annum. The case demonstrates the application of qualified rape provisions under the Revised Penal Code and the Supreme Court's adherence to prevailing jurisprudence on damages in rape cases.
