Police yesterday released from custody a Czech tourist and a gay man who were arrested during a sexual encounter in a parking lot in Mango Square in Cebu City.
The management of Mango Square will no longer pursue a complaint against Peter Slavic, 23, and Samuel Sauro, 21.
However, the business owner said Sauro is banned from entering the premises of the compound which is popular for its bars and nightlife.
Before their release, a certain Mr. Go who said he was from the consulate of the Czech Republic went to Police Station 2 to appeal on behalf of Slavic that charges not be filed.
Chief Insp. David Señor said he referred Go’s request to the management of Mango Square and its security officers.
It was the security guards who arrested the two men at 4 a.m. on Sunday and turned them over to the police.
The foreigner arrived in Cebu a few days ago and was planning to visit Oslob town for its tourist attraction, whale shark watching.
