Ang bastos mo! Yasmien accuses Baron of lewd acts

MANILA, Philippines - Kapuso star Yasmien Kurdi on Monday filed acts of lasciviousness complaint against actor Baron Geisler, who joined GMA Network recently. Kurdi and her lawyer Ferdinand Topacio went to the Women and Children Protection Center of the Philippine National Police at Camp Crame in Quezon City past 4 p.m. on Monday to file the complaint. Aside from the acts of lasciviousness case, Kurdi also filed a complaint of unjust vexation against Geisler. Topacio said the two first met on May 19, but the alleged incident happened during a taping for a new GMA show last May 21. The lawyer, however, declined to elaborate on the matter. But a Philippine Entertainment Portal report said that Baron reportedly approached his co-star, Yasmien, and then, without warning touched the actress’ body. PEP quoted an unidentified non-showbiz source as saying that Baron looked strange during the taping of GMA-7's upcoming primetime telenovela Suspetsa, directed by Mark Reyes. The source said: “Una, nagla-laptop si Yas [Yasmien's nickname]. 'Tapos nakikitingin lang si Baron. 'Tapos kinalkal [ni Baron] gamit ni Yas. Noong nagpapahinga na si Yas sa tent niya para matulog, tinabihan bigla ni Baron. Niyakap siya. After no'n, while on take, dapat beso lang daw yung scene, pero tina-try siya halikan." PEP added: “In a scene where Yasmien, who was wearing a dress, was supposed to go up a spiral staircase, Baron, according to the source, waited for Yasmien to go up "para silipan." After the take, Baron, said the PEP source, masturbated in front of Yasmien. Jennylyn Mercado, and Yasmien's personal Assistant (PA) reportedly saw the scene. The PA was able to record the incident with a cell phone camera, according to PEP. PEP reported that Baron has apologized to Yasmien, claiming that he could not remember doing what he was supposed to have done. Kurdi has not withdrawn her complaint. Geisler's counsel Carlos Alentajan declined to comment because he has not yet received copies of the complaints. Geisler has previously been accused of the same offense by the 21-year-old daughter of William Martinez and Ma. Rosario “Yayo" Aguila-Martinez.
