Court: Supreme Court
Division: Third Division
Decided: July 10, 2019

Summary

This Supreme Court case involved accused XXX appealing his rape conviction under Article 266-A of the Revised Penal Code. The Court of Appeals had found XXX guilty beyond reasonable doubt of rape against victim AAA. The Supreme Court dismissed the appeal, finding no reversible error in the CA decision. The SC affirmed XXX's conviction and sentence of reclusion perpetua but modified the damages awarded to the victim, increasing civil indemnity, moral damages, and exemplary damages to P75,000.00 each, plus 6% annual interest. The case demonstrates the Court's application of updated damage awards in rape cases while upholding criminal convictions where evidence supports guilt beyond reasonable doubt.
