MANILA - The 36-year-old Spanish national charged with sexually abusing a minor in his house in Taguig City has pleaded not guilty. Department of Justice Undersecretary and spokesperson Emmeline Aglipay-Villar told reporters via text message that Franco Sanchez (Francisco Manuel Sanchez de Oria) has been arraigned and the pre-trial has been concluded. The next hearing is set Dec. 7, 2021 for the presentation of the first witness for the prosecution, Villar said, adding that Sanchez's motion to dismiss was denied by the Taguig Regional Trial Court. Sanchez was charged with 10 counts of violations of Republic Act (RA) No. 7610 (Special Protection of Children Against Child Abuse, Exploitation, and Discrimination Act) and one count of violation of RA 9775, or the Anti-Child Pornography Act. Sanchez' arraignment was supposed to be held October 15 but connectivity problems reset the online hearing. The accused is under detention at the Bureau of Immigration Detention Center in Taguig
