Nigerian Arrested In Vietnam For having sex with 15-Year Old Girl

A 35-year-old Nigerian man was arrested by police in Binh Duong Province in southern Vietnam on Tuesday, October 6, for allegedly having sex with a minor.

According to Thanh Nien Daily, Ewuzie Emeka Emmanuel asked a 15-year-old Vietnamese girl in his neighborhood to come into his room on Saturday, October 3, there he flirted with her and requested for her phone number.

Investigations reveal that Ewuzie texted her later that day, asking her to come to his room, where he had sex with her...The case was reported to the police by the unnamed girl’s mother, this was after her mother discovered what had happened.

Under Vietnam’s law, Emmanuel who came to Vietnam in 2008 and is working for a company in the neighboring Ho Chi Minh City, might be sentenced to 15 years in jail if found guilty.

The country’s Penal Code stipulates that length of term for an adult who is caught having sex with one between 13 and 16 years old...However, if the action results in pregnancy or significant health damage, the sentence can be longer.
