MANILA – Police nabbed a former teacher wanted for rape in Quezon City on Sunday.

Brig.Gen. Jonnel Estomo, director of the Philippine National Police Anti-Kidnapping Group (PNP AKG) chief, identified the arrested suspect as Ramil Gara, who was nabbed in T.S. Cruz Subdivision, Barangay Baesa.

The suspect has an outstanding arrest warrant issued by the Caloocan City Regional Trial Court (RTC) Branch 121.

Gara, a former senior high school teacher of the Notre Dame of Greater Manila in Caloocan City, is accused of raping of one his students identified as "Lulu" on several occasions in 2017.

He allegedly threatened to give the victim a failing mark if she won't give in to his sexual desires.

After the incidents, Gara fled and hid for four years before he was arrested. (PNA)
