MANILA, Philippines – The Baron Geisler-Yasmien Kurdi legal tussle continues with him filing a countersuit against her.
According to a report by ABS-CBN News on Jan. 25, Geisler accused Kurdi’s camp of violating Republic Act 3019, or the Anti-Graft and Corrupt Practices Act. The case was filed before the Office of the Ombudsman on Jan. 24.
This comes almost two years after Kurdi charged Geisler with acts of lasciviousness and unjust vexation. Recall that the actress accused Geisler of making “lewd gestures and indecent proposals” to her during the filming of a TV series they starred in.
Atty. Bonifacio Alentajan, Geisler’s legal counsel, claims that his client is being “falsely accused” by Kurdi’s camp.
“We are here to seek justice for him. Sobra na ang pang-aapi 'yong ginagawa sa kanya. Ganyan ang lumalabas sa mga dokumento na ginawa nila. Pinagtulung-tulungan nila ito para maakusahan ng hindi totoo si Baron. Puro conclusions lang ng people who are not even competent to make such conclusions,” he said.
Alentajan agrees with the fiscal’s conclusion that no malicious act happened, contrary to Kurdi’s statements.
“How can that happen nasa set sila, may cameraman, may director at may camera at maraming tao?” he said.
Geisler, facing Kurdi last week at court, pleaded “not guilty” to two counts of acts of lasciviousness and two counts of unjust vexation, leaving the actress teary-eyed and dismayed.
