An 81-year-old man has been sentenced to 10 years in prison for raping a 9-year-old girl in the Central Highlands province of Dak Nong last December.
The Provincial People’s Court yesterday handed down the sentence to Nguyen Van Bay who hails from Quang Tin Commune, Dak Rlap District.
Bay was also ordered to pay VND15 million (US$730) as compensation to the victim.
The judges concluded that Bay’s crime was especially serious, as it not only harmed the girl but also caused anger among the public and affected social morality.
However, this sentence is lighter considering that the victim’s family has agreed to drop charges against him and that he had no previous criminal records and sincerely cooperated with police.
According to local prosecutors’ office, on the morning of December 1, 2010, Bay went to the Quang Tin Market to buy some fish.
The stall’s owner, one of Bay’s neighbors, then had Bay bring some food to her home as breakfast for her children.
When Bay arrived, he met her daughter, N.B.B.T who just stepped out of the toilet.
The 81-year-old man then asked the little girl to follow him to the kitchen where he committed the crime.
