Pepsi Paloma gang rape case

Pepsi Paloma, who was 15 at the time, accused Reyes and fellow comedians Vic Sotto and Joey de Leon of gang raping and taking photos of her on June 21, 1982, in a room at the Sulo Hotel in Quezon City. On July 31, Paloma's manager Rey dela Cruz lodged a formal complaint with Defense Minister Juan Ponce Enrile. On August 18, 1982, Paloma filed charges of rape and acts of lasciviousness against the three television personalities before the Quezon City fiscal's office. The crime of rape at the time, carried the death penalty in the Philippines, and to prevent his brother and his cohorts from being sent to the electric chair, Tito Sotto quickly went to see Paloma while she was still securing the services of Atty. Rene Cayetano. According to Paloma, Tito Sotto coerced her into signing an "Affidavit of Desistance" to drop the rape charges against his brother and cohorts —Tito Sotto had allegedly placed a pistol on the table in front of Paloma when he went to talk to her.

In exchange for the dismissal of the charges of rape, Vic Sotto, de Leon and he issued a public apology to Paloma stating:

Three years later, Paloma was found dead in an apparent suicide. Dela Cruz was murdered years later.

Personal life and death In September 2000, he was arrested in Muntinlupa City after local police authorities caught him handing over methamphetamine (locally known as "shabu") to a 20-year-old.

He died on April 17, 2015, at the age of 58 due to complications brought about by diabetes, kidney failure and brain stroke, reports said. His wake was at Loyola Memorial Park, Marikina City.
