Sandro Muhlach filed cyber libel complaints before the National Bureau of Investigation’s (NBI) cybercrime division against three anonymous netizens for their “defamatory” posts about the alleged sexual abuse the actor had suffered.

Sandro lodged the case, citing over 100 defamatory posts made by the netizens using anonymous X (formerly Twitter) accounts, as per “24 Oras” on Friday, Aug. 30.
