Vietnam jails high school principal in sex scandal

HANOI (Vietnam) - A JUDGE says a Vietnamese high school principal has been sentenced to nine years in prison for having sex with eight students in a high-profile sex scandal.

Presiding Judge Mai Van Hung said on Friday that Sam Duc Xuong was convicted at a one-day trial on Thursday of having sex with students aged 13 to 18.

Most encounters occurred in his office at Viet Lam High School in northern Ha Giang province.

Judge Hung says Xuong paid the school girls and used his power as a principal to force them to have sex with him in exchange for higher grades for a year until September 2009.

The case was uncovered in 2009 when the family of one of the victims reported it to police. -- AP
