A man in Hanoi is accused of luring women into dates in a café-cinema and then raping and videotaping them.

Phung Van Phuong, 21, flirted with several women on Tinder, Facebook, Zalo and Instagram and lured them into going to a cafe-cinema on Vu Tong Phan Street and raping them there, authorities said.

Phuong also videotaped the women and then posted the clips in online groups on Telegram, authorities reported.

Thanh Xuan district police said on Tuesday they were searching for Phuong’s victims to help with the investigation.
