Sentenced to 13 years in prison for molesting an 8-year-old girl

(Baonghean.vn)- While committing a depraved act with an 8-year-old girl, he was discovered by a neighbor. Thinking he could not escape punishment, the "blue beard" went to the police station to surrender.

Defendant Vi Van Dung at trial.

On the morning of January 7, the Provincial People's Court opened a first-instance criminal trial of Vi Van Dung (born 1964), residing in Chau Dinh commune, Quy Hop district, for child rape.

According to the indictment, on the afternoon of July 14, 2015, while drinking, Dung ran out of alcohol, so he went to the shop of Mr. Vi Van T (in the same village) to buy alcohol. When he arrived at the shop, only Vi Thi NL (born 2006, Mr. T's daughter) was lying on a mat studying. Seeing that no one was in the house, Dung had the intention of having sex with the girl.

While he was committing the depraved act, a neighbor of Mr. T passed by and discovered Dung getting dressed and leaving. Afterwards, knowing he could not escape the crime, Dung went to the police to confess.

At the trial, Dung honestly admitted his crime and blamed it on being drunk and not being able to control his actions.

The forensic conclusion showed that NL’s body was not injured, but Vi Van Dung’s actions were enough to constitute a crime. Considering the nature and severity of the defendant’s crime, the panel sentenced Vi Van Dung to 13 years in prison and ordered him to compensate the victim’s family for the loss of health and mental health in the amount of 12 million VND.
