Daniel Smith: Guilty

A US military serviceman implicated in the Subic rape case was found guilty by the Makati Regional Trial Court more than a year after the rape took place, ABS-CBN News reported.

Makati RTC Judge Benjamin Pozon of Branch 139, however, acquitted respondents Chad Carpentier, Dominic Duplantis, and Keith Silkwood of the rape of the complainant “Nicole.”

Pozon said respondent Daniel Smith is proven guilty beyond reasonable doubt for raping Nicole while she was dead drunk at the back of a Starex van. The rape took place during a short ride inside Subic Bay Freeport on the night of November 1 last year. [source]
