Ram Revilla’s family accused of leaking "sex video" featuring the slain actor and his girlfriend Janelle Manahan

Philstar.com reports that the late Ram Revilla’s girlfriend, Janelle Manahan, has admitted that she is the woman in a "sex video" that was reportedly posted online on December 29.

Manahan’s lawyer, Atty. Argee Guevarra, said his client "was shocked and cried after learning through social networking sites Facebook and Twitter on that someone had uploaded the video." Manahan is the star witness in the Revilla murder case.

The report written by Aie Balagtas See quoted Guevarra who said, "This video represents the second assassination of Ramgen and second frustrated murder of Janelle orchestrated and masterminded by the Bautista household." Guevarra revealed that "one of the younger siblings of Revilla had been blackmailing Janelle through Facebook messages." He added that only someone with an access to the Bautista's computer can upload the video. Guevarra pointed out: "That video was stored in Ramgen's computer and later transferred to one of the computers of the Bautista household."

Guevarra called on Revilla's half-brother, Sen. Ramon Revilla Jr. to lead the investigation "with the same passion and commitment" he had for actress Katrina Halili, whose sex video with former doctor Hayden Kho went viral in 2009. The incident had led the senator  to back the Anti-Voyeurism Act.

Meanwhile, the report likewise quoted Bautista family lawyer Atty. Jeffrey Gepte, who said "It’s absurd (to blame the family) because it's a private matter between Ramgen and Janelle. So it would be very absurd for the whole Bautista family to know about it."
