Some days ago, nude model Nguyen Thi Kim Phuong, 25, sent a petition to police in HCM City’s District 10 to denounce body painter whose name has not yet been revealed to the public for his sexual abuse to her.

In the petition, Phuong said that on May 1, through Facebook, the painter invited her to co-operate for his body-painting collection. After Phuong agreed on his recommendation, they made an appointment to meet each other at a café the following day to discuss more about the work.    

At the café, he told Phuong to take off her clothes for testing and she also agreed on this. On the evening of the same day, he took her to a hotel in District 10 and told her to act as a nude model for his work. She did as he said as it was normal for this kind of art.

The artist then suddenly touched her genitals. She was really shocked and demanded him to stop. While she was going to put on her clothes to leave there, he rushed to grab her and attempted to sexually assault her.

After telling her relatives about the case, they decided to take her to local police. The police sent her to get a medical check.

Phuong said that she has been facing serious psychological problems so she has to see a psychologist.

She decided to tell her story on her Facebook to warn other people who may become the body painter’s victims.

As soon as Kim Phuong posted her status, another nude model Huyen Phuong, 19, commented saying that body painter intended to abuse her in the same way in the first time when she co-operated with him, but he failed due to her awareness of the potential issue.

Huyen Phuong said that while she was taking a bath after posing for his work, he suddenly opened the bathroom door, helping her to clean her body and then touched on her sensitive parts. She quickly asked him to get out as she could do this by herself.

He later asked her to work with him, promising to make her famous. But she refused.

Huyen Phuong said she was willing to be a witness if Kim Phuong needs her to denounce the artist.

At the police station, the artist admitted inviting Phuong to act as a nude model for his body-painting collection. He, however, denied the sexual assault allegations.

He claimed that Kim Phuong had made up the story. The police will investigate the case to find out the truth.
