Cop, nurse caught in tight 'embrace'

BUTUAN CITY -- The National Police Commission (Napolcom) regional office called on a teenage rape victim to file her complaint against an Agusan del Norte police officer.
Caraga regional Napolcom director Mamerto Amadeo said this amid reports that yet another police officer was figured in a compromising situation with a married nurse.
The police officer and nurse, whose identities are being withheld due to the sensitive nature of their case, were caught with their privates clamped on each other and thus unable to withdraw.
Amadeo said it is expected for law enforcers to uphold the law by being models of integrity, discipline, and service to the community.
"Or if one cannot follow it, one must resign because how can community people obey an adulterer or a criminal cop?" he said.
But Amadeo said the aggrieved parties must report to him personally at his office, as he will evaluate the complaints against the two police officers for administrative sanctions.
"There is what we say as due process but as long it is a case of moral turpitude and proven guilty, there is no reason for the policemen to stay any minute longer at the PNP," Amadeo said.
The police officer and the nurse were covered with blankets as they were carried inside an ambulance and brought to a local hospital for treatment.
Medical personnel explained the case was called in medical terms as "Vaginanimus" or simply contraction of the vaginal muscles due to tension or nervousness that makes it tighten the organ.
Medical authorities said they administered therapeutic muscle relaxant to the two and after a few minutes they managed to withdraw.
The nurse's husband is working abroad while the policeman is married to a teacher.
Meanwhile, Amadeo called on the teenage rape victim who worked as a helper to another Agusan del Norte police officer to surface and report the incident to his office.
The now pregnant victim sought the help of local radio station DXBR Bombo Radyo Butuan after the incident. The police officer allegedly raped her four times.
"We are all angry on the Americans who raped our fellow Filipina yet we are silent on situations like this when our very own cops are raping our minors and that everybody is afraid because the cops have guns. This is selective justice we don't want," Amadeo said.
The Bombo Radyo station said that the police officer has political connections and negotiations are allegedly underway to silence the victim.
