60-year-old man raped child, lost dentures in court

(Baonghean.vn) - On the morning of December 22, the Provincial People's Court opened a first-instance criminal trial to try the child rape case against Nguyen Van Dao (born 1952), residing in Thanh Chuong town, Thanh Chuong district.

The People's Court sentenced Nguyen Van Dao to 13 years in prison.

According to the indictment, at noon on July 27, 2016, Mr. Dao came home drunk and met Nguyen Thi N. (born 2005) and her friends playing on the street. Dao lured N. to an abandoned house in the neighborhood and committed a depraved act with the child.

After committing the depraved act, Dao gave N. 15 thousand dong and told her to go home. After the incident, N.'s mother wrote a complaint against Nguyen Van Dao for his depraved act against her daughter. The results of the sexual forensic examination showed that the child was not injured, but Nguyen Van Dao's actions constituted the crime of child rape.

At the trial, Nguyen Van Dao admitted all his crimes. Realizing that the defendant's crimes violated the health, honor and dignity of N., caused harm to social security, and caused anxiety among the people..., the panel sentenced Nguyen Van Dao to 13 years in prison and ordered him to compensate the victim 12 million VND.

Surprised by the harsh sentence, Nguyen Van Dao was startled and dropped his dentures in the dock. Before committing the crime, this old man also left his glasses at the abandoned house.
