Based on the report of Mike Navallo on ABS-CBN, there were inconsistencies in the affidavits, as well as in the statements given by Deniece in court were inconsistent.

The court pointed out in particular her responses as a witness, who claimed that she suffered from trauma.

"The foregoing statements of the complainant are, to the mind of this Court, inconsistent with her claim of trauma, and outside the reasonable expectations for someone who just underwent a painful ordeal,” said the court, in its order posted by Mike Navallo on Twitter.

"It must be emphasized, however, that a grant of bail does not prevent the Court, as trier of facts, from making a final assessment of the evidence after full trial on the merits," said the court as indicated in Philstar's report.
