“That night was very traumatic to my clients as it is their first time to be victimized like this especially unexpected from one of the most idolized actors in the country presently. Mr. Labrusca being a public figure and a foreigner must learn not to be abusive of women. My clients hope that this case would encourage woman and anyone who have been victims of abuses by public figures such as Mr. Labrusca whether sexual or otherwise to not be afraid to stand up and be heard,” the statement read.
