A man in Long An Province has been arrested for allegedly sexually abusing his 10-year-old daughter.
Police in the southern province’s Can Giuoc District said on June 7 that they have detained the 47-year-old man to investigate accusations from his daughter.
The man, Hoang, had admitted on June 6 that he had raped his daughter at their house multiple times when there were only two of them home, police said.

The police said that the daughter had been taken to medical check-up which showed that there were cuts in her vaginal area.
According to a report from police, they got the information on June 6 from a clip in which the girl told her story of being raped by her father many times to a neighbour. The neighbour recorded her story and then decided to post the clip on some social websites.
In the clip, the girl cried when saying that she was forced by her father to have sex with him many times but she did not dare to tell her mother or grandmother because the father threatened that he would kill the whole family if she told them.
The girl’s mother and grandmother who live in the same house seemed shocked when hearing about the story, the police report said. They said they had never noticed any strange or suspicious acts from the father to their daughter.

The girl then told the police that her father had raped her multiple times for half a year.
According to local authorities, Hoang’s family is poor and his 10-year-old girl doesn’t go to school.
Hoang’s wife said that he was an alcoholic and she left him and took their daughter to live in Can Tho Province since she was small. They have just returned to live together since the beginning of this year.
Meanwhile, police said that they are also working with the families of two other girls in the area, aged 8 and 13, who also accused Hoang of sexually abusing them.
