A deputy director of the Department of Planning and Investment of the northern Vietnamese province of Thai Nguyen has admitted to sexually abusing a female employee in his office after the victim reported the case to local police.

The official, D.D.A., made the confession in a report to his superiors, Hoang Van Hung, chairman of the Inspection Commission of the Thai Nguyen Provincial Party Committee, told Tuoi Tre (Youth) newspaper on Friday.

In his report, A. admitted his guilt, saying that he acknowledged that his behaviors were “non-standard” .

A. on Tuesday afternoon summoned N.T.T., a staff member of his department, to his office room, where he had molestation behaviors toward the woman, which made her run away from the room.

T. filed a report, in which she claimed that A. had “acts of infringing upon her dignity and honor,” to the police force of the province’s Thai Nguyen City on Tuesday evening.

T. proposed the Thai Nguyen City police prosecute A. for those behaviors.

After receiving T.’s report, the Thai Nguyen City police started an investigation to verify the case according to regulations.

However, at 2:30 pm on Wednesday, T. went to the Thai Nguyen City's public security agency to withdraw the prosecution request.

Inspectors of the Thai Nguyen Provincial Party Committee have established a team to verify and handle the case, according to Hung.

“We will ask A. and related people to report on the incident before holding a meeting to tackle the case,” Hung said. 

“The one at fault will be handled accordingly.”
