New Zealand officials say they have “no doubt” that two Vietnamese officials visiting the country sexually attacked two young female servers at a restaurant, but are unable to charge the men because they have already returned to Vietnam. New Zealand does not have an extradition treaty with Vietnam.
WELLINGTON, New Zealand — New Zealand authorities have “no doubt” that two Vietnam ese officials sexually attacked two young female servers at a restaurant during a visit to the country, but were unable to charge the men before they returned to Vietnam , police said Thursday.
The woman, Alison Cook, told The Associated Press that she and another server at the Vietnamese restaurant where they worked were attacked in a private karaoke room by two men who pulled the servers into their laps, pinned them against a wall and groped them. She said she was forced to drink alcohol and believed she was also drugged.
Indecent assault is a legal term in New Zealand that covers unwanted physical contact of a sexual nature. It is punishable by up to seven years in jail.
