Investigation conducted by the NBI showed that at around 7 p.m. last February 14, Mallari asked the victim to accompany him to barangay Catalanacan aboard his motorcycle. Being her friend, the victim went with Mallari.
Upon reaching the place, Mallari reportedly offered the victim something to drink, which made the latter dizzy. Belle then found herself naked with severe pains in her private parts.
Rizza allegedly begged Mallari to bring her home but the suspect warned her not to tell the incident to anyone or she and her mother would be killed. Afraid of the threats, the victim kept the incident to herself.
On June 1, the victim was walking on her way home when Casillian grabbed her. Casillian allegedly told Belle that he knew what happened to her and Mallari, threatened to expose it if she refused to come along.
She was then brought by Casillian to the house of Crisanto Gomez and once inside, Rolando Gomez and Cuya dragged her in a room and reportedly raped her.

On August 6, Cacabilos and Baniqued allegedly raped her in the house of Crisanto Gomez and on August 13, Gomez, Polintan and Tanjon Natividad took turns molesting her in the hut of a certain Ronnel Lapaz.

In the second case, the mother of Maria,18, a friend of the first victim, named Politan, Tanjon Natividad, Laforteza, Siervo and the two Gomezes of raping her on August 13.
In the complaint, Maria alleged that she and the first victim were walking along the road in Poblacion West at around 7 pm last August 13 when the six blocked their way.
