Sexy actress Keanna Reeves was arrested yesterday for cyberlibel by operatives of the Criminal Investigat­ion and Detection Group (CIDG) in Quezon City.

The 49-year-old Reeves, whose real name is Janet Direcho Duterte, was nabbed at her condominiu­m unit at the corner of Timog Avenue and Scout Ybardolaza street in Barangay South Triangle at around 12:45 p.m.

Chief Inspector Zyrus Serrano, who heads the CIDG Laguna field office, said they served a warrant for Reeves’ arrest for violating Republic Act 10175 or the Cybercrime Prevention Act.

Police said the arrest of the actress stemmed from the complaint of businesswo­man Nancy Dimaranan, who accused Reeves of besmirchin­g her reputation in a series of Facebook posts in July.

The court set a P20,000 bail for Reeves’ temporary liberty.
