Upon receiving this information, the Provincial Police found many suspicious issues, so the Provincial Police requested Vinh City Police to handle the case according to Circular 01 after receiving the crime report.

After hearing the entire report of this case, the Provincial Police Director assigned the Provincial Police Investigation Agency to directly coordinate with Vinh City Police and professional departments to deploy. The Deputy Director of the Provincial Police directly held a meeting to assign and direct the investigation of the case carefully, with clear grounds.

General Cau informed: Yesterday (August 21), leaders of 3 sectors at all levels met to evaluate and draw the final conclusion: There was no case of child Th being sexually abused and affirmed that this was a fabricated case.

During the investigation, Mr. Trung stated that the story of Th being sexually abused was completely untrue. Mr. Trung made up the story of Th being sexually abused and sincerely apologized to the police.

“Up to now, the results of the examination show that Th’s hymen is dilated, there was no sexual abuse. We directly asked the Examination Department why her hymen was dilated, and the examiner replied that the hymen was naturally dilated without any external impact. As for the wound in her anus, it was because Trung did not take good care of his daughter, causing her to become infected,” Major General Nguyen Huu Cau affirmed.

Will prosecute the father, consider many others

According to the Provincial Police Director, in the same incident, two children were affected. One was Th, whose honor was insulted by his father. The second person affected was Ms. Tran Thi Thuy A, Ms. A was 15 years, 8 months, and 22 days old at the time of the abuse. She is a child and has been accused of child abuse.

Explaining the motive for this incident, the Provincial Police Director said: This is an online business trick of Th.'s aunt like Kha Banh's, to get many comments, get addresses for trading, but unfortunately, some press agencies and social networks have not verified the information clearly and have pushed the incident too far.

“Nghe An Police, the Procuracy, and the Provincial Court will investigate a model case nationwide so that we can fight this crime and are determined to do it. We will soon have a conclusion announcement proving that Th was not sexually assaulted and there is no decision to prosecute the criminal case. The second issue is that we will prosecute Trung for the act of buying sex with a person under 18 years old.

After that, the investigation will be expanded to include more subjects, that is, Th's aunt, 2 more subjects in Hanoi, press agencies and Facebook pages to see how it has violated the reputation of the police force, and what complicated consequences it has caused to security and order. Any subject that has enough elements to constitute a crime will be prosecuted criminally, and any subject that does not have enough elements will be administratively punished" - the Director of the Provincial Police Department added.
