Police in Vietnam have arrested an English language teacher for allegedly raping a sixth grader, a source told Tuoi Tre (Youth) newspaper.
Officers in Ha Tinh Province, located in north-central Vietnam, apprehended Le Dung Cuong, a 42-year-old English teacher from Xuan Vien Commune, Nghi Xuan District, Ha Tinh on suspicion of rape, the source said Tuesday.
Cuong will be held for four months for an investigation into his “raping an under-16 person.”
Commands and decisions told above were green-flagged by the People's Procuracy of the same level.
Cuong had been denounced as raping L.N.T.T., enrolled in sixth grade in Vu Quang District, on school grounds.
T. joined an English tutoring session by Cuong on June 20, the victim’s family said.
On the same evening, T. returned home in unusual manners and reported Cuong’s sexually assaulting her after getting asked by family members.
Following their verification and investigation, police officers in Vu Quang District detained Cuong for having raped the schoolgirl, before transferring the case to their colleagues at provincial levels for a further probe.
