HCM CITY — HCM City’s District 4 Police on Sunday started legal proceedings against Nguyễn Hữu Linh, 61, former deputy head of Đà Nẵng City People’s Procuracy for sexual abusing a child.

Earlier this month, CCTV footage showing a man who grabbed a five-year-old girl in an apartment’s elevator in District 4 was spread online.

Although the case was reported by residents right after the incident, no conclusion has been reached, fuelling social outcry.

On Friday, National Assembly Judicial Committee asked law enforcement agencies to report on this case, along with five other recent child sexual abuse cases. — VNS
