A jail guard found himself looking inside out after he was accused of rape by a casual employee of the municipal government in Carmen.
The accused was identified as one JO2 Wendel Mondarte, 32, married and a resident of J.A. Clarin street, Tagbilaran City.
Mondarte was arrested after a female worker claimed she was sexually abused by the jail guard.
The 21-year-old victim said she and her friend were invited for lunch by the accused last April 18 at the Bureau of Jail Management and Penology in Carmen.
She said the invitation took place on that day because it happened to be her birthday.
The girl, a native of Barangay Buenos Aires, Carmen, said that afterwards, the accused volunteered to drive her home.
She admitted that she accepted the offer and rode with the accused on his motorcycle.
The victim said she was however surprised because the accused did not drive her home but instead rode all the way to Ubay.
She claimed that Mondarte brought her to a lodging house where he succeeded in raping her.
The complainant further alleged that the accused threatened her not to report the incident.
However, the victim decided to report the rape to authorities inspite of the threat that she received.
Last Friday, an inquest was held on the case after the accused surrendered to the PNP in Carmen.
Mondarte is now detained at the Carmen PNP jail.
