Archie Alemania indicted in acts of lasciviousness case involving Rita Daniela
Archie Alemania has been indicted in the act of lasciviousness case filed against him by Rita Daniela.
Daniela's lawyer Atty. Maggie Garduque confirmed to PhilSTAR L!fe that they've received the resolution from the Office of the City Prosecutor in Bacoor indicting Alemania.
"The next legal battle will be in court," Garduque said on Wednesday, March 26. "After the arrest or voluntary surrender of Archie, arraignment/pretrial in court will ensue."
"Thereafter, trial proceeds. Rita is ready for all of these," she added.
In her complaint filed in October 2024, Daniela recalled Alemania making a vulgar statement toward her when they attended a Thanksgiving party together on Sept. 9 of that year.
When the party ended, Alemania allegedly offered Daniela a ride home, which she accepted, thinking it was something an older brother would do.
But during the ride, Daniela recalled Alemania beginning to caress her shoulder and neck, which she found "uncomfortable."
"I was confused [whether] he was just comforting me as an elder brother since I told him about what happened to my mother in our conversation inside his vehicle," she said in her complaint.
Upon reaching the front of her house, Daniela said Alemania "forcibly got hold of my head and locked it with his grip and gave me a torrid kiss on the lips with his tongue out trying to put it inside my mouth."
After pushing him away and opening the car door, Daniela recalled Alemania pulling her back to hug her tightly from behind. He then allegedly groped her breast and "smashed it lasciviously."
Later on, Alemania supposedly texted Daniela to apologize, citing he was drunk.
In December 2024, Alemania submitted a counter-affidavit on the complaint.
Daniela and Alemania were co-stars in the teleserye Widows' War.
PhilSTAR L!fe has reached out to Alemania for comment on the development of the case, but has yet to receive a reply.
