According to a report from the Criminal Investigation and Detection Group, Lim was arrested at 11:30 a.m. at his home in Makati City based on a warrant earlier issued by an Antipolo City Regional Trial Court.
A bail of P16,000 has been set for Lim, who took to social media site Twitter to air his reaction.
"Held in the CIDG office. Sad how people abuse libel to curtail press freedom. #FPisFearless," he wrote.
The cyber libel charge stemmed from an article posted on Lim's website claiming that Cornejo was sick with a sexually transmitted disease, according to the model's legal counsel Atty. Ferdinand Topacio.
Cornejo earlier made headlines she accused "It's Showtime" host Vhong Navarro of sexually assaulting her on January 17 and 22. The two rape complaints have since been dismissed.
She was also detained for four months until September last year after being charged with serious illegal detention by Navarro. (READ: Deniece wants apology from Vhong) -- with a report from Raffy Santos, ABS-CBN News
