“Upon verifying with the US embassy, the US prosecutors and Quiboloy co-defendant Marissa Dueñas have reached an agreement in which she pleads guilty to conspiracy to defraud the US government and the prosecutor agrees to dismiss the other charges against her only,” DOJ Assistant Secretary Jose Dominic Clavano IV said on Friday.

Quiboloy is facing child abuse charges in a Quezon City court, as well as qualified human trafficking charges in Pasig City.
