MANILA, Philippines - Amid talks of passing more laws against video voyeurism, cosmetic surgeon Dr. Vicki Belo on Monday said that the only lesson to be learned from the Hayden Kho-Katrina Halili sex video scandal is to not steal another person's boyfriends.
"I keep trying to see the purpose behind this, and for women to realize that they have to be careful, and for women to realize that if somebody has a girlfriend, you shouldn't go in there and steal him," Belo said in an interview aired over GMA’s Unang Balita.
Belo, Kho’s long-time lover, has been suspected along with some others to be responsible for spreading the sex videos of Kho and Halili because she also has a copy of the hard disk containing the videos. [See: Hayden assures Katrina: Only Belo has the film]
Her lawyer Atty. Adel Tamano, however, said that Belo did not spread the sex videos. Kho-Belo sex video does exist, lawyer confirms]
"She [Belo] did not release these videos, she did not reproduce these videos and in fact sobrang nalulungkot po si Dr. Belo of what has happened and she condemns the release of these videos," he said.
Belo admitted, however, that she was in fact in possession of the hard drive where the videos were stored but that it doesn’t mean that she was the culprit.
"There is a continuum of time, ibig sabihin [which means], how long was this in your possession, was this possessed by someone else, did someone else have access to this hard disk. Maybe as the investigation moves forward, it will become clear kung sino talaga [who really did it]," said her lawyer.
But Tamano did say that Belo was willing to help authorities track down the culprit. [See: NBI subpoenas Hayden Kho, Vicki Belo over sex video mess]
"Well, open kami sa maraming bagay, open kami to even filing criminal or other cases, pag-aralan na muna natin ng mabuti, and ang orientation kasi ni Dr. Belo, madali yan mag-forgive eh, hindi siya vindictive na tao so it will also hinge on what the client would want," he said.
On Friday night, the lawyer told the media that there also exists a sex video of his client and Kho. [See: Kho-Belo sex video does exist, lawyer confirms].
He did, however, say that the hard drive containing the video has reached the hands of "unscrupulous persons" who want to make money out of it. [See: Lawyer bares P4-million blackmail try on Kho] - GMANews.TV
