Hai Truong Vo

Hai Truong Vo, 39, of Garden Grove, was released by the Santa Ana Police Department without bail last night, due to “insufficient evidence,” according to an email we received this afternoon from “Xuanxanh Laurie.”

The O.C Register confirmed this in an article posted today.  They reported that “Prosecutors apparently have sent the criminal case against Hai Truong Vo, 39, of Garden Grove back to detectives for further investigation, Santa Ana police Cpl. Anthony Bertagna said.”

On 1/13/15, detectives from the Santa Ana Police Family Crimes Unit arrested Vo, also known as “Joseph,” age 39, of Garden Grove, for Child Molest. Vo is suspected of molesting a seven-year-old female in Westminster in 2011, and a six-year-old female in Santa Ana in 2013. Both victims are of Vietnamese decent.

Vo is a heating/air conditioner repairman and plumber. In both the 2011 and 2013 incidents, Vo was alleged to have entered the victim’s home after he was hired to perform repairs. Once inside the home, Vo was alleged to have found an opportunity to be alone with the victims.

Santa Ana police are continuing to ask the public for help in identifying additional victims.  Anyone with information is asked to call Santa Ana police at 714-245-8351.

  1. Moot point as he was released.

    By the way you’re projecting your own feelings as you don’t generally hide your animus towards Mexicans.

  2. Thought for sure you were talking about the DPOC and it’s penchant for Asian sex slaves.

    I always thought Francisco “PACO” Barragan was creepy (in a girl in the basement kind of way), That was before I learned of the Diamond/Laturneu shared sex cabal. Now that is progressive: two board members hooking up with Brother and Sister!

    Maybe Henry should send a group to Manila to investigate/research/enjoy…..

    Who says the DPOC is ineffective???
