On June 4, 2021, two criminal cases were filed against the popular Boy Love (BL) Actor Tony Labrusca, who is an ABS-CBN talent, with the Office of the City Prosecutor of Makati City. Tony will face raps for two (2) counts of Aggravated Acts of Lasciviousness he committed while allegedly under the heavy influence of alcohol on January 16, 2021.  According to the complaining woman, Tony allegedly molested her twice by, first, coming from the back to intentionally flick her spaghetti straps to expose her breast and by, second, pulling her from the waist towards himself to sit her on his lap.  The woman is a friend of renowned jeweler and businessman Drake Dustin Ibay who is also witness to the case and recently posted snippets on his Instagram of what happened that night.

The popular BL actor will also face a criminal complaint for aggravated physical injuries filed by Drake Ibay’s brother who was allegedly choked by Tony after helping him go down the stairs for being too drunk that night. According to both the complainant’s lawyer, Atty. Regie Tongol in a separate statement, Tony “had been seen by not less than four witnesses to actively sought alcohol to embolden himself that is why the charges were aggravated by his intentional intoxication.”

The Office of the City Prosecutor of Makati will hear the complaint and decide whether an information would be filed in court against Labrusca.  According to Atty. Tongol, “Mr. Labrusca being a public figure and a foreigner must learn not to be abusive of women. My clients hope that this case would encourage women and anyone who have been victims of abuses by public figures such as Mr. Labrusca whether sexual or otherwise to not be afraid to stand up and be heard.”
