A 24-YEAR-OLD male prostitute filed rape charges before the Tagaytay municipal trial court against reelectionist Senator John Osmeņa, GMA Network's radio station dzBB reported.

Osmeņa dismissed the charges as "plain and simple harassment," his media staff chief Eliseo Maraon told INQ7.net.

Diego Gomez was quoted as saying in his affidavit that on the night of February 5, 2004, he agreed to meet with a regular customer, whom he identified only as "Mike," in Tagaytay City, a popular resort area south of Manila.

Gomez said he and Mike agreed that they would use condoms and not engage in anal ***.

But after a shot of Scotch, Gomez said he felt dizzy and was handcuffed to the bed-post. It was then that Osmeņa entered the room and had anal *** with him, he alleged.

Osmeņa is running under the administration's Koalisyon ng Katapatan at Karanasan para sa Kinabukasan (Coalition of Experience and Truth for the Future, K-4). Joel Francis Guinto
