Umakyat na sa husgado ang reklamong cyberlibel na inihain ni Vic Sotto laban sa direktor na si Darryl Yap kaugnay ng kontrobersiyal na teaser ng pelikulang The Rapists of Pepsi Paloma.

Sa inilabas na resolusyon ng Muntinlupa Regional Trial Court (RTC), nakitaan ng sapat na basehan ang reklamo ni Vic kaya iniakyat na ito sa husgado mula sa fiscal's office.

Ayon sa INFORMATION na may petsang March 17, 2025, two counts ng cyberlibel ang isasampa laban kay Yap.

Nag-ugat ito sa 19 counts ng cyberlibel na inihain ni Vic noong January 9, 2025.

Binanggit na isang rason kung bakit nakitaan ng probable cause ang reklamo ay ang direktang pagbanggit ng pangalan ni Vic sa teaser ng hindi pa naipalalabas na pelikula tungkol sa yumaong sexy star na si Pepsi Paloma.

Sa teaser ng pelikula, kung saan tampok sa eksena ang mga artistang sina Gina Alajar at Rhed Bustamante, tinanong ni Charito Solis (Gina) si Pepsi (Rhed) kung totoo bang "ni-rape" siya ni "Vic Sotto."

Pasigaw at mangiyak-ngiyak na sagot ni Pepsi (Rhed), “Oo!”
