On the morning of July 31, answering a reporter from Nghe An Newspaper about this information, Lieutenant Colonel Nguyen Huu Cuong - Deputy Head of Vinh City Police said that this is a complicated case.

“On June 28, Mr. Tr.’s family went to Vinh City Police to report the incident. At around 7 p.m. on June 19, Mr. Tr. took his child to Muong Thanh Thanh Nien Hotel and asked a woman named A. to look after him before leaving for work. At 11 p.m. the same day, Mr. Trung returned to the hotel and the three of them slept together. On June 28, Mr. Tr. went to Vinh City Police to report that his daughter was taken to the hotel by a woman named A. and two other people and then sexually assaulted,” said Lieutenant Colonel Cuong.

Upon receiving the petition, Vinh City Police invited woman A. to come in for questioning, but she denied Mr. Tr's accusation. Because there was no basis to prove that the subject had signs of violation, Vinh City Police could not issue a decision to detain her.

“The case is currently being verified and clarified by Vinh City Police. The information spread on social networks is inaccurate and baseless. When there is an accurate conclusion about the case, Vinh City Police will provide it to the press,” said Lieutenant Colonel Cuong.

According to Vinh City Police, Mr. Tr. had a criminal record. After the couple divorced, B. Th. was raised by Mr. Tr. As for A. (from Hau Giang), it was determined that she had worked at Lam Giang Hotel (Vinh City). The two had been together for a while.

Previously, on social networks, the incident was stirred up. The family of Mr. Nguyen T. Tr. (residing in Vinh City) reported that on the evening of June 19, 2019, because he was busy with work, Mr. Tr. left his daughter, B. Th. (born in 2013), with a woman named Tran Thi. T. A (born in 1998, from Hau Giang). This woman then took Mr. Tr.'s daughter to a hotel in Vinh City.

Suspecting that his daughter had been sexually abused, Mr. Tr. took her to the doctor and filed a report with the Vinh City Police.

The reporter contacted Mr. Tr. to find out the situation and was told that he is not currently in Nghe An. He was contacted by phone but he did not answer.
