Tran Thi Ngoc Trinh, well known as Ngoc Trinh, a 34-year-old Vietnamese lingerie model, who was arrested in October last year for allegedly causing social disorder, has expressed her expectation to receive leniency, according to Ho Chi Minh police officers.
Trinh was detained for riding a large-displacement motorcycle while performing offensive and dangerous acts and wearing no protective gear, as depicted in videos of the stunt she uploaded on social media.
Investigators in Ho Chi Minh City issued results of a probe into accusations against Trinh and her 36-year-old trainer, Tran Xuan Dong, who was charged with using counterfeit documents and causing social disorder, a source of Tuoi Tre (Youth) newspaper said on Saturday.
During the investigation, police confiscated three motorcycles of unknown origin, a drone, fake vehicle papers, and many electronic devices.
According to police officers, both Trinh and Dong were aware of their violations in detention.

Ngoc Trinh, dubbed an ‘underwear queen,’ was found to have no special license that would allow her to legally ride a motorcycle with an engine over 175cc.
On October 6, 2023, she and Dong rode a motorcycle with a cylinder capacity of 999cc on D15 Road in the Saigon Hi-Tech Park in Thu Duc City.
In early September last year, both rode motorcycles on Tran Bach Dang Street in the Thu Thiem urban area in the city.
While riding her motorcycle, Ngoc Trinh put both legs to one side of the vehicle, knelt on the saddle, and let go of both hands.
Police said her behaviors caused social disorder and negatively affected traffic safety in Thu Thiem Ward, Thu Duc City.
