Vadim Scott Benderman
A Canadian man reportedly accused of sexually abusing four homeless teenage boys in Vietnam was sentenced Wednesday to four years in prison in Hanoi.

An official of the court in Hanoi, who spoke on condition of anonymity because of court policy, said Vadim Scott Benderman, 45, admitted in the half-day trial that he lured the boys to his house and paid them $10 to $15 to have sex.

According to the reports, police allege he met the boys between the ages of 13 and 15 at a lake in the city's centre, gave them food and let them play with his iPad before luring them to his rented house.

The court official said Benderman admitted that he abused each boy from one to three times over a period of several months until his arrest last June.

"The defendant's crime was very serious for society," the official quoted the verdict as saying. "It infringed upon the normal development of the boys."  (more...)
