Muling nasilayan ng publiko ang kontrobersiyal na modelong si Deniece Cornejo pagkatapos ng matagal na panahon.
Kahapon, November 7, 2022, sumipot siya sa Branch 69 ng Taguig Regional Trial Court bilang testigo sa ika-apat na bail hearing para sa kaso ng rape case na isinampa niya noong January 2014 laban sa comedian-TV host na si Vhong Navarro.
Dumalo si Vhong sa ginanap na bail hearing sa pamamagitan ng video conference dahil nakakulong siya sa detention facility ng National Bureau of Investigation sa Maynila.
Mga kaso ng rape at acts of lasciviousness ang inihain ni Deniece laban kay Vhong dahil sa paratang na inabuso siya ng TV host-comedian sa kanyang condominium unit sa Taguig noong January 17, 2014.
Nangyari naman umano noong January 22, 2014 ang acts of lasciviousness.

Non-bailable o walang piyansa ang kaso ng rape.
Pero naniniwala ang abogado ni Vhong na si Atty. Alma Mallonga na pahihintulutan ng korte na makapagpiyansa ang kanyang kliyente para sa pansamantalang kalayaan nito.
Ngayong Martes, November 8, nakipag-ugnayan ang Philippine Entertainment Portal (PEP.ph) sa collaborating counsel ni Vhong na si Atty. Maggie Abraham-Garduque para tanungin tungkol sa mga kaganapan sa pagtestigo ni Deniece kahapon.
Lahad ng legal counsel ni Vhong, “Deniece was presented in court yesterday. She had her direct exam. Then cross examination by the prosecution was conducted.
“However, due to lack of material time, the cross examination was suspended for continuance on the next hearing on November 10.”
Dahil hindi natapos ang cross-examination kay Deniece, babalik siya sa Taguig Regional Trial Court sa Huwebes, November 10, ang huling araw ng bail hearing na inaasahang dadaluhan ni Jed Fernandez, ang huling testigo ng prosecution.
“With or without the last witness Jed Fernandez, the court said the petition for bail hearing will be finished,” sabi ni Atty. Garduque.
