On January 31 this year, Pham Tuan, 30, saw a 21-year-old epileptic who begged for a living, near his house and tried to rape her on the street in the central province, the prosecution said. She resisted, had an epileptic fit and passed out. Tuan stole VND120,000 ($5) from her and threw her into a river fearing she would complain to the police if she came to. But he left behind his footwear and a stolen phone at the scene. When the woman did not return home that night, her parents went to the police, who found the two pieces of evidence at the scene and linked them with Tuan.

Min Gap-ryong, commissioner general of the Korean National Police Agency (Source: Yonhap) Seoul (VNA) – The Republic of Korea (RoK)’s police chief has expressed regrets over a recent assault on a Vietnamese woman by her Korean husband, and vowed to conduct a thorough investigation into the case.

Vien, nicknamed "Little Mermaid," received a trophy at the closing ceremony of the 30th SEA Games in the Philippines on Wednesday. The 23-year-old from the Mekong Delta city of Can Tho shared the spotlight with fellow swimmer, Singapore's Quah Zheng Wen, who was named the best male athlete with exactly the same medal tally as Vien. In the two previous games, Vien, a captain in the army, had won eight gold medals each. She had set her sights on a similar tally this year but narrowly missed it, winning silver medals in 50 m backstroke and 800 m freestyle. Vietnam won a total of 288 medals this time, including 98 golds, to finish second behind host the Philippines in the medals tally. Swimming earned Vietnam 10 gold medals, only after athletics (16) and wrestling (12).

Nguyen Thi Chang, 27, was apprehended last October after officers caught two women having sex with Korean men in a hotel. The four of them told the police that Chang was the pimp. Chang told the police she was working at Bomul Seoum Karaoke in Nam Tu Liem District. Kim Hack Bong, 45, a South Korean man, has been running this place since last January, she said. Chang was in charge of managing women employees and guest reception at the place. The employees were divided into two groups, one willing to have sex with customers and the other not willing. Those who consented could do so after working hours. Kim told the police he only kept track of guest reception preparation and money management. He was not aware Chang was offering sexual services or had any role in it, he said. Nguyen Duc Hiep, 36, whose name is on the business license of the karaoke parlor, said he only helped Kim because as a foreigner, he was not eligible to officially run such a business, and received no share of the … [Read more...] about Woman jailed in Hanoi for procuring sex workers for South Korean men
