Mr. Nguyen Ngoc Phac. |
Previously, at around 4:00 p.m. on May 8, Nguyen Ngoc Phac was "surrounded" by some people in Cam Son commune, Cam Thuy district in a field area (bordering Hoang Giang village and Gia Du village, Cam Son commune) because they saw him sexually assaulting an 8-year-old girl.
Upon receiving the information, Cam Son Commune Police were present and brought Phac to the headquarters to verify and work. Due to the complicated nature of the case, Cam Son Commune Police transferred it to Cam Thuy District Police for investigation.
Defendant Nguyen Ngoc Phac is the former Chairman of the People's Committee of Cam Phong commune and currently has permanent residence in this locality.
The victim was in the same class as Mr. Phac’s niece and used to live next to his house in Cam Phong commune. Three years ago, due to her parents’ divorce, the girl moved to live with her mother and grandparents in Cam Son commune, Cam Thuy district.
However, recently, after school hours, Phac picked up the victim and took her to a deserted place to commit a lewd act, so he was discovered and caught red-handed by the locals.
