Police have arrested a Nigerian man who reportedly flirted with a 15-year-old girl and then had sexual intercourse with her in his rented house in southern Vietnam, local media reported.
Ewuzie Emeka Emmanuel, 35, of Nigerian nationality, was detained on Tuesday for investigation into charges of “having sexual intercourse with children,” pursuant to Article 115 of the Penal Code, VnExpress cited police in Binh Duong Province as saying the same day.
The arrest was made after the mother of the girl, T.N.Q.G., reported the foreigner’s alleged offense to police officers.
Emmanuel arrived in Vietnam in 2008 and worked for a company in Ho Chi Minh City, police said in the case file.
In April 2015, the foreigner rented a flat at the An Binh apartment building in the province’s Di An Town.
At 11:00 am on October 3, Emmanuel was doing exercise on the 12th floor of the building when he met G., who also lives in the condo block.
He then got acquainted with G., invited her to his flat, courted her, and asked for her phone number.
G. later left the man’s apartment.
At 4:00 pm on the same day, Emmanuel sent a text message to G., inviting her to visit his flat again.
As soon as G. stepped into his apartment, Emmanuel shut the door and then had sexual intercourse with the girl on the sofa.
The foreigner found G.’s private part bleeding, so he asked her to have a bath and go home.
After finding abnormal signs in G.’s attitude, her mother questioned her daughter, who then recounted what had happened to her.
The mother immediately reported the case to police.
