Police reject news of man getting stuck in daughter-in-law

Police in Tien Giang province have confirmed that the headline claiming “a 58-year-old man and his daughter-in-law were hospitalized after his penis got stuck in her vagina while they were having sex…”, is a complete fabrication.

The provincial Police Department released the confirmation yesterday, after investigating the striking news first published on VOV Online that drew attention from the public over the past several days, Tran Kim Mai, deputy chairman of the provincial People’s Committee, said.

The news came in an article written by Chu Trinh, who is a VOV resident reporter in the Mekong Delta and also a member of the press team of the provincial People’s Committee’s, Mai said.

On September 21, Trinh submitted a report to the press team admitting that the news was false. The reporter said she had not checked the correctness of the information she had obtained.

“The provincial People’s committee will punish Chu Trinh as a member of the local press team and proposes that VOV make a correction for its wrong information and punish the reporter under applicable regulations, ” Mai said.

According to the provincial police’s report, VOV Online on September 18 published an article by Trinh, saying that “Mr. A, a 58-year-old man and his 36-year-old daughter-in-law were hospitalized after his penis could not be removed from her vagina while they were having sex in Go Cong Town, Tien Giang Province…”

According to the article, “the daughter-in-law suffered a vagina spasm, so the man could not get his penis out of her vagina… The two victims were taken to Tien Giang General Hospital for emergency treatment and they were later transferred to Ho Chi Minh City.”

In the story, Trinh cited the quote related to the “vagina spasm” from Dr Ta Van Tram, deputy director of the hospital.

Meanwhile, Tram asserted to police that he had not provided any such information to Trinh.

He explained that he previously talked about a phenomenon in the sexual life of humans to some officials of Go Cong Town during a break at the Tien Giang Province Politics School.

While he and those officials were discussing the issue, a relative of Trinh’s passed by and heard the discussion, and then recounted it to Trinh, who later used it in the article, Tram said.

After VOV Online published Trinh’s article, many online newspapers republished it, and its striking content shocked the public, police said.
