Question 17
17. Kenneth had a romantic relationship with Mabel, a 14-year-old minor.
Kenneth and Mabel constantly exchanged pictures through online
messaging applications. One day, Kenneth rented a laptop in a computer
shop and had an online chat and videocall with Mabel. Kenneth left the
shop but forgot to logout his social media account. The next customer read
the sensual conversations between Kenneth and Mabel as well as their
nude videos and photos. The customer reported the matter to the police.
Accordingly, Kenneth was charged with violation of Republic Act No.
11930 or the Anti-Online Sexual Abuse or Exploitation of Children and
Anti-Child Sexual Abuse or Exploitation Materials. At the trial, Kenneth
objected to the admissibility of the pictures and videos as evidence for
having been obtained against his right to privacy. Are the pictures and
videos admissible in evidence to prosecute Kenneth of the criminal
offense? Explain.
