The 37-year-old singer brought the case to the National Bureau of Investigation (NBI) on Monday to request a probe into the circulation of the private video.
In his affidavit submitted to NBI Director Nonnatus Rojas, Miranda cited a violation of the Republic Act 9995 or the Anti-Photo and Video Voyeurism Act of 2009.
If proven guilty of the violation, the one who leaked the video may be imprisoned for up to seven years and fined up to P500,000.
When the sex video scandal erupted early this month, Miranda said his room had been robbed. A hard drive, which contained the video among other files, were allegedly among those lost in the theft.
On Tuesday, NBI cybercrime division head agent Ronaldo Aguto said the agency has already launched an investigation and expressed confidence that they will track down the suspect behind the video's spread.
Last Saturday, Miranda only laughed off reports that a certain Alfonso Yanga Miranda who claimed to be his "son" was the one who released the sex video. In an open letter posted on Facebook, "Alfonso" said he was behind the robbery of Miranda's room.
The singer, however, only made light of the post.
It is unclear whether "Alfonso" was included in Miranda's affidavit submitted to the NBI. -- with a report from Zhander Cayabyab, dzMM
