A public school teacher was arrested Saturday afternoon by the Manila Police District (MPD) after allegedly molesting a young female student and subsequently threatening a boy who witnessed the incident.

The suspect, identified as Grevonel Reposo, is currently detained at the MPD Police Station 12.

The arrest was executed based on a warrant issued by Presiding Judge Maria Lorenza Barias-Siosana of Manila Regional Trial Court Branch 38, dated 11 December 2024. The warrant recommends a bail of P120,000 for the suspect’s temporary liberty.

According to case information, a boy identified only as “Panch” — not his real name — reportedly witnessed Reposo molesting a young girl student inside a school comfort room.

When the suspect noticed the witness, he allegedly chased the boy, forcibly took him to another comfort room, and threatened to kill him and feed him to cockroaches.
