Actor Baron Geisler filed a case of perjury against actress Yayo Aguila, the mother of Patrizha Maree Martinez, who has accused him of acts of lasciviousness.
In his complaint, Geisler said Aguila had no knowledge of the alleged incident and allegedly twisted the facts in her affidavit.
He said Aguila was in the United States when the alleged sexual harassment of her daughter at the Fiamma Bar in Makati City took place on April 26.
Patrizha is the daughter of Aguila and actor William Martinez.
But lawyer Salvador Panelo, counsel for Patrizha, said Geisler’s complaint has no bearing on the case filed against him.
"The mother, Yayo, merely stated in her affidavit that her daughter called her and told her about the incident," Panelo pointed.
The complaint for perjury is the second case Geisler has filed against the Martinezes.
He first sued Patrizha for unjust vexation.
Patrizha claimed that, at the bar, Geisler asked her for a one night stand. Although the actor later apologized and asked for a hug, he allegedly touched her breast as he embraced her, she said.
