Police Superintendent Ric Cuevas is now facing rape charges before the Prosecutor's Office in Digos for purportedly molesting his teenage maid the other night.

The report said a drunk Cuevas sent a text message to the victim around 10 p.m. asking if he could sleep with her because he is restless without someone beside him.
