Actor Tony Labrusca was charged with Two (2) counts of aggravated acts of lasciviousness and aggravated slight physical injuries. According to the woman who filed the complaint before the City Prosecutor in Makati City, Labrusca allegedly molested her twice.
Tony will also face a criminal complaint for aggravated physical injuries filed by Drake Ibay’s brother who was allegedly choked by the actor after helping him go down the stairs for being too drunk that night.
Both incidents happened last January 16, 2021.
From Atty Joji Alonso, Legal counsel of Labrusca – “We have just been informed that complaints of alleged acts of lasciviousness and slight physical injuries have been filed against our client, Mr. Tony Labrusca. Said acts allegedly occurred some five (5) months ago.”

Ibay has released a statement, saying the woman Labrusca allegedly molested was also a friend.
“That night was very traumatic to my clients as it is their first time to be victimized like this especially unexpected from one of the most idolized actors of the country presently,” Atty. Tongol said.
Labrusca’s lawyer Joji Alonso responded to the news, saying “We call the public to be mindful of casting judgment based on mere allegation and unfounded claims.”
According to Article 336 of the Revised Penal Code, acts of lasciviousness can be penalized by prision correccional, or imprisonment of 6 months up to 6 years.
