Lindsay Custodio files anti-VAWC case against estranged husband
Lindsay Custodio has filed a case under the Anti-Violence Against Women and Their Children Act (Republic Act No. 9262) against her estranged husband, Frederick Cale.
This was confirmed by Custodio's legal counsel, Atty. Hazel Meking, in a video statement sent to GMA News Online on Monday.
'Kinompirma natin na na-file na kanina [ni Lindsay] ang kasong Anti-Violence Against Women and Their Children laban sa kanyang estranged husband,' Meking said in the video.
[We confirm that Lindsay has officially filed a case under the Anti-VAWC law against her estranged husband.]
According to the lawyer, it was only recently that Custodio fully understood the extent of the alleged abuse she had endured during their relationship.
'So, ngayon na-file na natin at inaasahan natin na makakakuha tayo ng hustisya para sa kanya dahil grabe ang trauma at ang depresyon at ang psychiatric medication niya na dinanas dito,' Meking said.
[We have filed the case, and we are hoping to get justice because she went through severe trauma, depression, and had to take psychiatric medication because of her experience.]
According to Meking, Lindsay allegedly suffered sexual abuse, psychological abuse, as well as verbal, emotional, and economic abuse.
In March, Boy Abunda on 'Fast Talk with Boy Abunda' that Custodio had traveled to Cebu in connection to a cyber libel complaint filed against her by Cale.
GMA News Online has been looking for Cale to get his side of the story. We'll update this story once we have it. — LA, GMA Integrated News
