Katrina Halili and Hayden Kho agreed to ocular inspection
During the continuation of the hearing of the criminal case filed by Halili against the cosmetic surgeon, the defense requested an ocular inspection of the hotel room where the sex tape of Katrina Halili and Hayden Kho was allegedly recorded.
Actress Katrina Halili failed to give out details of the hotel room prompting the defense to request for an ocular inspection at the Holiday Inn.
The defense said a complete inspection of the room would prove if the sexy actress was telling the truth when she insisted that she wasn’t aware that Kho was already videotaping their sexual intercourse in 2007.
“The whole theory of the case is she did not know. Ang sinasabi namin how could she not know when the room was very small? And from the end of the bed and the TV set, it is impossible not to see the TV at the edge of the bed,” lawyer Lorna Kapunan, Kho’s legal counsel, said.
“And she also said that, if at all there was a video camera, it would be on top of the TV set. So to say that she did not see, it is I think is stretching the truth. Or she could have been under the influence of some substance that made her not see it,” Kapunan added.
The ocular inspection is slated on June 15.
As for Halili, it would be hard for her to revive the past.
"Nahihirapan po ako talaga. Sobrang hirap po. Kasi pinipilit nila akong i-detalye lahat. ‘Yong kwarto, kung gaano kalaki, kung gaano kalayo."
The defense also asked for the results of Halili’s psychological test accomplished by the National Bureau of Investigation (NBI) when the sex video scandal broke out in 2009.
“This is a case of domestic violence…. Their ground for domestic violence is psychological and the expert here is the NBI who examined her. And the NBI said the cause of the psychological distress is not the sex video… [but] an event that happened within the 3 months from her examination. What event is that? That is the release of the sex video,” Kapunan said.
Kapunan said Halili herself said that Kho is not responsible for the release of the sex tapes.
Kho, who insisted that he is also a victim, said those responsible for the release of the videos should be held in question, and not him.
Halili’s lawyer, Raymund Palad, countered: "The sex video was taken without her knowledge and consent. Kapag hindi mo alam ang isang bagay, hindi ka masasaktan."
