For the first time since the incident 19 years ago, singer-actor Gerald Santos publicly admitted that he was raped by a former musical director of a television network.

“Handa po akong ikwento dito ang nangyari, pero ako po ay natatakot na baka po ako ay balikan ng mga taong ito,” he added.
The “Pinoy Pop Superstar” alum said the incident occurred in 2005 when he was only 15 years old. He, however, did not name the musical director who committed the act.
“For 19 years kineep ko lamang ito dahil sa takot ko nga po, sa kahihiyan. Hiyang-hiya po talaga ako lalo na noon dahil ‘yung grupo na nasa loob ay parang dini-dismiss lang nila ‘yung sinabi ko, na parang mag-move on ka na lang kasi kalakaran ‘yan dito,” Santos also said.
