There is no crime if the perpetrator proves the incident which attributed to the victim, whenever such attribution is against a public servant or a person entrusted with a public service and whenever said incident is connected with the job or service. In such a case, slander may also be proved if it is committed by the perpetrator personally and is connected with the incident of libel. However, proof may not be provided if more than (5) five years have elapsed since the occurrence of the incident, if the crime has expired for any cause of expiration or if the judgment issued on it has been forfeited.
