Cedric Lee releases statement

In an interview with ABS-CBN News, Lee insisted that Navarro attempted to rape his friend Deniece Cornejo. Below is his side of the story:

"We were supposed to go out together... We were supposed to pick up Ms. Deniece Cornejo from her condo unit at Forbeswood in The Fort. We arrived at around 10:30 to 11:00, I forgot the exact time. When went up to the second floor, upon reaching the door of her condo unit, we heard some screaming inside. So we thought baka may nag-aaway lang. Fortunately, the door was unlocked so were able to go inside. Wala namang tao doon sa sala tapos dumiretso kami sa bedroom dahil yung bedroom naman nila ay kurtina lang, walang pintuan. Nakita ko doon ang isang lalaking nakahubad na, nakababa na yung shorts niya, nakapatong kay Deniece at si Deniece ay nagsisigaw at nagpapapadyak sa lalaki. So ang instinct ko is I grab him from the back at hinila ko siya pababa ng kama. Si Deniece tumakbo na sa sister ko at inilabas na siya ng sister ko sa condo unit. So ang naiwan sa condo ay ako, yung lalaki na hindi ko pa kilala at that time na si Vhong at yung isa naming kasama. Pumapalag 'tong lalaking 'to nung, Napagtulungan namin siya.." (Updating...)
