A judge has heard that a math tutor molested girl students by keeping them in their houses.
From May 2011 through July 2014, Quy Huy Hoang allegedly sexually abused four girls in the course of his tutoring work in their homes in Sydney’s southwest.
In today’s proceedings at Sydney’s Downing Centre District Court, the 76-year-old entered a not guilty plea to four charges of indecent assault of a minor under sixteen and four counts of sexual intercourse with a minor under ten.
A Vietnamese interpreter was present during the proceedings.
According to crown prosecutor Alex Morris, during the opening statements of the judge-alone trial, Hoang violated the confidence that three families had given in him to educate their children.
Two sisters, one between the ages of six and seven and the other between three and five, were reportedly abused by him between May 2011 and March 2013.
The girls’ mother got a call from Hoang, who had heard about their hardship and wanted to lend a hand, after she and her family had suffered a string of unfortunate events.
At first, he taught the sisters in the dining room, but he convinced their mother that the toy room would be a more peaceful place, so he tutored them for free.
“The reason Hoang suggested this was because he wanted the privacy of another room to provide him with the opportunity to sexually offend,” Morris informed the judge.
The tutor is said to have digitally penetrated one of the sisters after removing cream from a dark suitcase.
During that same incident, he planted a kiss on the girl’s lips and reportedly had her “pinkie promise” not to inform her mother.
The court was informed that the girl in question was coerced into touching the tutor’s privates on her own.
According to the prosecutor, Hoang sexually molested her sister through her pajamas, committing an assault.
The instructor was taken into custody after a Catholic church service in August 2014, following the girls’ mother’s report to the police.
While searching his residence, law enforcement discovered a black briefcase containing math workbooks, vaseline, lotions, and lip balm.
Morris stated that one tube of lip balm contained a chemically identical ingredient to KY Jelly intimate lubricant.
Law enforcement officials discovered multiple images of youngsters, including the four presumed victims, on his cell phone.
Between March and July of 2014, Hoang allegedly sexually assaulted a seventh-grader and her schoolmate.
He managed to persuade the mother of one of the girls to let them use her son’s bedroom as a study space, complete with blackout curtains and a door lock.
Hoang allegedly digitally penetrated a girl after making her touch his penis.
The other girl broke down in tears when he digitally penetrated her and touched her outside the pants, according to Morris.
The kid allegedly told her mother, “I don’t want to do it, I don’t want to be here,” in response to her mother’s question about where she was distressed.
