Supermodel Ha Anh: Hope US law will severely punish Minh Beo

"I hope the US law will punish the guilty severely to set an example for others" - supermodel Ha Anh shared about Minh Beo's imprisonment.

On August 10, Minh Beo’s trial for child molestation charges took place at the Orange County Superior Court in Westminster, California, USA. Here, the comedian admitted to 2 out of 3 charges: oral sex with a minor and premeditated, attempted lewd acts with a child under 14 years old.

For these two charges, Minh Beo was recommended to be sentenced to 18 months in prison. The sentencing date is scheduled for December 16.

Minh Bao has now been detained for more than 4 months in the US. According to Orange County law, when he is sentenced, he will have his actual prison time deducted.

If sentenced to 18 months in prison next December, Minh Beo will be released in September 2017. If he behaves well, his sentence may be reduced. After his release, Minh Beo will be deported from the United States.

Before the news of Minh Beo's trial, supermodel Ha Anh shared a very long post on her personal page. First, she affirmed the serious effects of the incident.

Ha Anh wrote: "Child sexual abuse causes mental trauma to them for the rest of their lives. Some children will never have a normal life, become self-conscious, resentful, lose faith in people and life, and are at risk of having a sexual orientation deviation when they grow up. Some children with autism can even commit suicide."

Ha Anh also expressed her indignation: "But nowhere like Vietnam, when knowing about the story of a sick person abusing children, there can be comments like "everyone makes mistakes sometimes". This proves that the awareness of the majority of our people is too childish, careless, and disregards the emotions and psychology of children."

According to Ha Anh, because the majority think like that, "there are too many children in Vietnam who are abused and neglected by those around them" and "there are too many sick people in society, and children and women, the weak and defenseless, are the easiest prey.

Society's indifference to their health, rights, dignity and spirit is the ideal "cover" for sick people to continue harming other victims".

The supermodel asked: "If the victim were your wife, your mother or your innocent children, would you say things like 'Everyone makes mistakes in life' and then let it go?"

Ha Anh frankly expressed her opinion about the Minh Beo case.

Finally, the judge of the first season of Vietnam Next Top Model expressed his hope: "I hope that American law will punish the guilty severely to set an example for others. And the law as well as the Vietnamese people should wake up to protect their children"./.
