Cedric Lee, Deniece Cornejo charged with illegal detention

This saga just got more real.

“The Department of Justice (DOJ) on Thursday, April 10, filed charges of serious illegal detention and grave coercion against businessman Cedric Lee, model Deniece Cornejo and five others in a Taguig City court for allegedly beating up and extorting money from TV host Vhong Navarro inside a condominium on Jan 23,” reports Christine O. Avendaño in the Philippine Daily Inquirer.

Charged along with Lee and Cornejo were Bernice Lee, also known as Marie, Simeon Palma Raz aka Zimmer Raz, Jose Paolo Gregorio Calma, Ferdinand Guerrero, and Sajed Fernandez Abuhijleh a.k.a. Jed Fernandez.

This is the latest blow dealt to Cornejo, as the DOJ already junked the rape charge she filed against Navarro.
