The suspect, victim and people involved in the case were not named or did not want their names published. The man, however, was identified as a maintenance employee at a local hospital.

“Many of the Filipinos working at the hospital are making efforts to help the hapless teacher get justice,” said a staff member of the hospital on condition of anonymity, who added that the man has been asked to meet with his supervisors on Saturday. “All OFWs (Overseas Filipino Workers) in the hospital should rally behind the teacher and have the suspect terminated from his job.”

According to the woman, who spoke to Arab News earlier this month, the man who allegedly raped her was the father of a student at the school where she worked since July 2009 until two weeks ago. She resigned from her job after the incident to return to the Philippines where her husband and three children live. On learning about the incident, the woman’s husband asked her to return home immediately.

A member of a Filipino activist group helping her says the man, who has been working with the hospital for 20 years, is believed to have sexually assaulted another Filipino woman, which led to her divorce.

“The style of the suspect is to befriend women he’s been attracted to,” said one of the activists. “Then he gives them gifts, making them feel that he’s well-meaning.”

In the latest case, the suspect reportedly lured the woman asking her to tutor his son at home.

The Filipino advocate said the suspect also used the woman’s name to open different accounts on the Internet and send the pictures to people who knew the woman. Nude photos of the woman also appeared on a Facebook wall briefly before the account user made the images private.

“If the victim was your daughter, mother, or sister, how would you feel and what would you do?” said the advocate.

“She has been gripped by fear. She stopped teaching nearly three weeks ago,” said another activist.
