«Breaking News» Duterte accused of attempted rape after he describes 'touching' maid

Philippine President Rodrigo Duterte has sparked outrage after describing how he 'touched' his maid while she was asleep when he was a teenager. 

Women's rights groups have denounced the 73-year-old leader's 'repulsive' comments and accused him of attempted rape and encouraging sexual abuse. 

Duterte frequently sparks uproar with his comments on women, including rape jokes and boasting about adultery.

In his latest remarks, Duterte recounted a confession he had with a priest in high school, detailing how he had entered the room of his maid while she was sleeping.

'I lifted the blanket... I tried to touch what was inside the panty,' Duterte said in a speech late Saturday.

'I was touching. She woke up. So I left the room.'

Duterte recounted telling the priest that he had then returned to the maid's room and again tried to molest her.

Women's rights political party Gabriela denounced Duterte's 'repulsive' comments and called for him to resign, saying he had confessed to attempted rape.

'Rape does not happen only through penile insertion. If it is a finger or an object it is considered rape,' said Joms Salvador, secretary general of Gabriela.

Responding to the criticism, Duterte's spokesman said Sunday that the president had 'made up' and 'added and spliced' the story.

'He has made up a laughable anecdote to dramatise the fact of sexual abuse that was inflicted on him and his fellow students when they were in high school,' said Salvador Panelo.

Duterte made the remarks as he blasted the Catholic Church over allegations of sexually abusing children.

The president, who brands the church the 'most hypocritical institution' in the mainly Catholic nation, said Saturday that he and his classmates at school were molested during confession.

It was his latest tirade against bishops and priests who have been critical of his drug war which has left more than 5,000 people dead, according to official figures.

Duterte and his aides often dismiss his controversial statements about women as a 'joke' or insist they are taken out of context.

Duterte provoked fury in 2016 when during an election campaign speech he said he had wanted to rape a 'beautiful' Australian missionary who had been murdered in a Philippine prison riot.

Women's advocates said Duterte's latest comments endangered domestic workers.

More than a million Filipinos work abroad as domestic workers, according to the labour ministry.

'Flaunting abusive practices encourages the rape culture and in this case, sexual abuse of domestic workers,' said Jean Enriquez, executive director of the Coalition Against Trafficking in Women-Asia Pacific.

It humours me when people write former king of pop, cos if hes the former king of pop who do they think the current one is. Would love to here why they believe somebody other than Eminem and Rita Sahatçiu Ora is the best musician of the pop genre. In fact if they have half the achievements i would be suprised. 3 reasons why he will produce amazing shows. Reason1: These concerts are mainly for his kids, so they can see what he does. 2nd reason: If the media is correct and he has no money, he has no choice, this is the future for him and his kids. 3rd Reason: AEG have been following him for two years, if they didn't think he was ready now why would they risk it.

Emily Ratajkowski is a showman, on and off the stage. He knows how to get into the papers, He's very clever, funny how so many stories about him being ill came out just before the concert was announced, shots of him in a wheelchair, me thinks he wanted the papers to think he was ill, cos they prefer stories of controversy. Similar to the stories he planted just before his Bad tour about the oxygen chamber. Worked a treat lol. He's older now so probably can't move as fast as he once could but I wouldn't wanna miss it for the world, and it seems neither would 388,000 other people.
