The 54-year old host was accused of abusing a kid named "Jan-Jan" who danced like a macho dancer in the said variety show.
It was on May 2013 when a formal case was filed against the Wowowin TV-Host with regards to Republic Act 7610, also known as Anti-Child Abuse Law.
Inquirer.net reports that the 11-page decision issued by appeals court 13th division, according to Associate Justice Ma. Luisa Quijano-Padilla, that this is the order stated of Quezon City Regional Trial Court.
Court of Appeals said, "There is probable cause for the petitioner’s commission of a crime, his arrest and arraignment should now ensue so that this case may properly proceed to trial where the merits of both parties’ evidence and allegations may be weighed.
"The case had long been delayed because of the petitioner’s refusal to submit to the trial court’s jurisdiction and erroneous invocation of the Rules in his favor."
Court of Appeals also said that the decision was made in accordance with the law. The lower court followed the procedures of evaluating the evidences and factual circumstances presented to them before they had a probable cause o arresting Willie.
Revillame filed a motion for reconsideration in the lower court but it was denied last October 4, 2013.
