Navarro's legal counsel, Atty. Alma Mallonga, confirmed with DZMM on Tuesday that they formalized the complaints at around 5 p.m.
Lee, sibling Bernice Lee, and model Deniece Cornejo are now facing cases for serious physical injuries, illegal detention, grave threats, unlawful arrest and grave coercion and blackmail.
Mallonga confirmed several others are facing charges.
The lawyer said included in the cases are "the most important evidence, which is Vhong's statement, the medico-legal report, the statements of the security guards, and, of course, the CCTV footage is already there."
"Hindi pa siya kumpleto. But to me, the case, the evidence that will be used, is already there. I'm very happy. Vhong is relieved," she said.
According to Mallonga, the most "essential" evidence backing Navarro's charges is the CCTV footage, which purportedly shows those who were accused in the mauling incident last January 22.
"When you see the CCTV footage, if ever you get to see it at the proper time, you will be appalled by the brazenness of the named perpetrators of this crime, and even more by the psychotic ability to say with a straight face na ganito ang nangyari," the lawyer said.
Navarro has accused Lee, Cornejo and five others of attacking him inside a condominium unit in Fort Bonifacio, Taguig, leaving him with serious injuries including a broken nose that required reconstructive surgery.
Earlier on Tuesday, Lee accused Navarro of "twisting the facts," saying the host's account of the incident is an exaggeration. Cornejo, meanwhile, maintained that Navarro attempted to rape her and will file the appropriate legal case against him.
