Jojo Nones, one of the accused in the sexual abuse complaint filed by young actor Sandro Muhlach, was cited in contempt and detained by a Senate panel on Monday (August 19).
Present at the hearing of the Senate Committee on Public Information and Mass Media were Nones and his co-accused Richard Cruz; Muhlach, via video call; and Muhlach's father, veteran actor Niño Muhlach.
During the hours-long probe, Nones was repeatedly asked by Senate President Pro Tempore Jinggoy Estrada whether he offered financial contribution to any charitable institution of Niño Muhlach's choice.

"It's a very simple question, answerable by a yes or no," Estrada said. "Sinungaling talaga ito. Scriptwriter ka nga."
Nones maintained it was not a settlement, and refused to answer with a "yes" or "no" which drew Estrada's ire and subsequent motion to hold him in contempt.
