KUWAIT CITY, Nov 7, (Agen-cies): Philippines Ambassador to Kuwait Shulan Primavera Wednesday denied on TV Patrol, the Philippines primetime news of ABS-CBN the rape allegations made by a Filipina runaway maid who worked in his household for eight months.
The Filipina ward named Mabel, who is now in the Philippines, said on the national TV that the Ambassador allegedly sexually harassed her when his partner went home to the Philippines for vacation.
Primavera, who was fuming mad, denied all the allegations on TV and pointed that these were all lies. He cited that his predecessor had a hand in this machination. He added that it is purely and obviously a ‘demolition job’ against him by his predecessor.
“Jesus Christ, that’s a lie. I will not do that. It’s not true that there was an instance that we were involved in an indecent act,” Primavera was heard as saying on the TV.
The news stated that Mabel has already signed an affidavit and is determined to pursue a case against Primavera. She is set to file a formal complaint against the Ambassador with the help of the Blas Ople Foundation.
