Friday, July 09, Email Print. Nude photos of a provincial leader were found in the cell phone of a sex worker. Defendants are escorted out of a trial in February of a high school principal having sex with his students in the northern mountainous Ha Giang Province.
The Party's Inspection Commission has proposed dismissal of Ha Giang head while police sources accused that he had involved in the sex scandal. The inspectors said Nguyen Truong To, chairman of the northern province of Ha Giang's People's Committee, the local government, has committed several violations. Most of these violations pertained to To's lifestyle.
According to several police sources, To might have had sexual relations with a sex worker in , when he headed a department in the people's committee.
Two other sex workers earlier this year also accused To of having sexual relations with them. The Party's Inspection Committee had warned To about his violations but he failed to admit wrongdoing and did not seem receptive to improving his behavior, according to the statement. The inspectors ordered the provincial Party Unit chief and director of Ha Giang Police Department to file official reports regarding their knowledge of To's wrongdoing.
In their statement, the inspectors also proposed punitive measures against the two officials who had known about To's dalliances since but failed to report it to higher ups. The inspectors did not articulate the specifics of To's wrongdoings in their official statements, but according to the police sources, To was alleged of having patronized sex workers on two occasions. According to the police sources, the first instance took place in November when Ha Giang police busted a prostitution ring.
