GMA artist Aljur Abrenica is being praise as one of the fast rising young dramatic actor but his achievement is being overshadowed by the "acts of lasciviousness" charges filed against him by a 15 year-old teenage girl.
After months of investigation, the National Bureau of Investigation (NBI) has transmitted a copy of the complaint to the Department of Justice with a recommendation to prosecute Abrenica.
Aljur's lawyer Atty. June Ambrosio released a statement about the NBI's recommendation.

Aljur's lawyer Atty. June Ambrosio released a statement about the NBI's recommendation.
"The NBI was just following standard operational legal procedure when it forwarded the case of Aljur Abrenica to the DOJ. NBI receives the complaint, investigates and forwards it to the DOJ or to the concerned prosecutor's office, which is the proper office to determine 'probable cause.'
"It is therefore erroneous to report that the NBI has found probable cause in the case and to insinuate that there is a strong case against Aljur.
"The DOJ, after preliminary hearing, will determine if there is enough basis to charge the respondent or dismiss the case altogether.
"In the wake of this development, let it be put on record that Aljur is ready to face his accuser and answer the charges against him in the DOJ as soon as we receive a copy of the subpoena, along with the affidavits of the complainant and her witnesses.
"I am confident that my client will be able to clear his name on this matter."
