My name is Kevin Vuong, and Belinda “Ngoc Be Vuong” and Ken “Phuoc-Thanh Vuong” are my parents, so too is Canada. While my parents provided me with the means and support, Canada provided me with the opportunity for education and success. As Belinda tutored me in math and science, Canada gave me the chance to think creatively. Where Ken taught me discipline, Canada provided the freedom to question.
Confucian tradition states that being a filial son is the uppermost duty of any son. As a Canadian of Chinese and Vietnamese heritage, it is my filial duty to reciprocate the care and support that my parents offered me.
The woman, who Global News agreed not to identify, confirmed the details outlined in the Star’s report.
She said she met Vuong through a dating app in February 2019 and that they went on several dates. It was around April 8 when he came over to watch a movie before agreeing to turn everything off. She said they went to bed and fell asleep soon after laying down.
“I woke up because I felt somebody touching me and I felt something tickling my neck, and I kept my eyes closed from the moment I woke up just to make sure I wasn’t hallucinating and I wanted to be sure what was going on,” the woman said, recalling how she was allegedly groped.
She said she went to her bathroom and locked the door before going on to call a friend for help. The woman said she arranged for the friend to make an emergency call to her so she could leave, adding she went down to her parking garage to hide as she was suffering a panic attack.
“When it happened, I was taken back because I think it was one thing if I was awake and he tried to make advancements, I would have shut it down. We wouldn’t even be here. But the fact of the matter is that I was asleep, I was unconscious, and I couldn’t consent to something,” she said.
In speaking with the Crown, the woman said she didn’t expect Vuong to go to jail over the alleged incident.
