Pakistani passenger jailed after Dubai-Bangkok assault

A Pakistani man accused of sexually assaulting a Thai woman on a flight from Dubai to Bangkok has been jailed for three years, fined 120,000 baht and permanently barred from returning to Thailand, according to the victim.

The woman announced the reported outcome in a Facebook post on Wednesday, August 5, two days after the alleged assault took place while she was travelling with her four-year-old daughter.

She posted a photograph of the man with police officers and wrote: "If you commit a crime, you have to face the consequences. Three years in prison, a 120,000 baht fine and blacklisted from entering Thailand ever again.

"Thank you to the inspector and Tourist Police for all your help. Don't ever do this to anyone again."

Alleged assault took place during flight

The case began on August 3 aboard the Dubai-Bangkok service, when the woman said she had fallen asleep during the journey.

She alleged that she woke after feeling somebody touching her buttock and noticed wetness beneath her blanket. She later said she found the Pakistani passenger staring at her.

After the aircraft landed in Bangkok, cabin crew escorted the man away for questioning. An airline employee reportedly noticed what appeared to be semen stains on the woman's trousers.

The woman said the man apologised, but she refused to accept it and asked police to arrest him.

Tourist Police and immigration involved

Tourist Police, the Immigration Bureau and Don Mueang Police Station subsequently opened an investigation, before the woman shared the reported sentence and immigration ban on August 5.

Her Facebook post drew widespread support, with users leaving messages saying they were pleased that she had received justice.

Thai relative shot dead his next door neighbour one Monday evening (few years ago), falsely claimed he had been knocking off his wife,...........by Wednesday he was sentenced to five years and was in jail.....they don't mess about when you are poor or a foreigner.

Sounds like that case is more or less a dead heat with this one then. 😅

Yes....I was quite shocked.........expecting court cases, appeals, reviews, delayed sentencing for reports......nope....off you go.

He was a raging alcoholic, still is, and still lives next door to the widow and her daughter, both of whom witnessed the murder.

"A Pakistani man accused of sexually assaulting a Thai woman on a flight from Dubai to Bangkok has been jailed for three years, fined 120,000 baht and permanently barred from returning to Thailand, according to the victim."

Jailed for three years sems harsh for ejaculating on her slacks. No penetration was involved. Then again this is what happens when a member of a group who think they are superior to everyone else and above the law. My gut feel is that the 3 year sentence is a strong message to this group and he will get early release.

nauseating. However, i think the article is a tad misguided about the sentence. As mentioned in other comments here, 48h is not gonna cut it to deliver a sentence. Most probably stating what he incurs in such case. Currently, Thailand is actually accelerating procedures to kick out foreign perpetrators out of the country (barred for x years or for ever) rather than keeping them, which is a real hassle.

Yes it seems unlikely doesn't it (to happen that fast). But it's the woman's comments that are a bit hard to interpret. She said he'd pay the consequences and then spelled out what they are (maximum?) 3 years in prison and/or a big fine and barred for life from Thailand. So maybe she meant this is what he is facing? I haven't seen anything newer on this.

Pakistan is a highly sexually repressed society. At least in the past, you would see a lot of guys holding hands. Most of them are probably not gay, it's the only way a young man, unless he is married, can get any human, quasi sexual contact. It's get married or be celibate, or come to Thailand.

He probably lost his virginity on that plane?

Why wasn't he able to hold on a little longer. He was just hours away from Soi 6.

It wasn't rape but sexual assault by masturbation beside her.

jailed for three years, fined 120,000 baht ??

This cannot be serious. So he groped the leg of a sleeping woman and came on it.

Of all the crimes that can happen , this is barely a crime.

There is no physical or financial damage than a stain on her pants.

The woman over reacted big time.

He didn't rape her... he rubbed one out over her while she was sleeping.

3-years and the fine will learn him

I have to disagree with you on that one. The punishment seems fair, if it was double, it wouldn’t worry me.

Anyone who can’t control himself to the extent this guy can’t, the sky’s the limit in terms of what he might do next.

I assume he managed to keep it in his pants while he was in Dubai.

Victim shaming, bravo. And what "drug" was it since you know so much? Fentanyl? There's nothing wrong with taking a sleep aid such as melatonin or ambien. No different from having a cocktail. One doesn't expect violent crime and mayhem while in an airplane seat. We have trustworthy flight attendants for any real emergency.

So you are saying it’s ok to take sleeping meds while in charge of a 4 year old on a 6 .5 hour flight because they flight attendants. Seriously😱 if she does that on a flight what else does she do at home. Disgusted at what he did to her obviously (should have got 10 years) but she does not seem like a ideal mother.

Years ago (maybe 20) I was on an assignment in the ME, either Kuwait City or Amman and riding in a taxi. The driver was from Pakistan and I told him I lived in Thailand.He got a very serious look on his face and said "is it true you can make Thai (women) b!tch for you and not pay them anything?" I answered no and explained if he didn't pay them (he meant bar girls) that they would call the cops and he'd be in big trouble. So, yeah, I wouldn't want to take my wife or daughter (ever) to Pakistan. Another time, during the floods in Bangkok, we stayed at a hotel in South Pattaya with our two young kids. It was loaded with south Asian single men. My wife was (is) quite hot looking and several of these pervs would just stare at her - at breakfast, by the pool. It was really uncomfortable. So after a few days, and to avoid getting into a fight and scaring our kids, we moved to a more upmarket hotel.

What rot! His behaviour was totally inappropriate. Culture has nothing to do with it!

There is some jerk giving a thumbs down to many comments thru this thread. Is he of the mind set?

I was on a Thai Int. flight from PER to BKK a few years ago about 03:00 there was a big commotion, the cabin staff had a Farang bailed up. Apparently he had been thru the toilets destroying the sanitary pad boxes and this weidos wife was supporting him!!!!! Ya gotta wunda.

Despite being in charge of a 4 year old child alone, she drugged herself.

She took "sleeping medication" so hardly drugged up. I assume one of the sleeping aids that aren't classified as a drug.

I've always wondered why you give me one thumbs down after another, like a few trolls here do when you prove them wrong a few times and they can't get over it, but that reply helps my thinking on what your thinking really is.

Women aren't objects but humans like us, equal and worthy of respect. Downgrading this offense into "barely a crime" when it has psychological implications, is having her look like she's nothing. Hopefully she gets over it soon enough and understands this was all about that weirdo and not her..

The OP states that this is sentence according to the victims facebook page.

It seems that , in this case, justice was extremely fast.

Assuming that the sentence is correct it seems, to me, to be appropriate.

It is not only the crime that the courts should consider but also the circumstances. This happened on a plane, a metal box, where you are forced to sit next to the person assigned by the airline and there is nowhere to escape.

A deterrent sentence such as this is needed and it should be widely reported that any unwanted sexual misconduct on a plane will be dealt with by a custodial sentence.

On the other hand airlines would need to have CCTV in the cabin that records the entire flight. Because at this rate anybody can claim anything during the flight. Not saying the lady was lying but there can be confusions or wrongful accusations or misunderstandings. The CCTV recordings make allegations fool-proof.

Because your post s-ck ?

Reading the replies here , people here need to put things in perspective.

No-one was really harmed.

Again , there was no physical/financial or even emotional damage.

There was no real sexual harassment , she did not get robbed, stabbed ,

run over , got acid in there face,.......

Unless they are keeping something from us , the child was not hurt, probably doesn't even know what happened.

You and the rest here are blowing this way out of proportion.

Just someting on her pants.

What if the guy threw up on her ?

Way worse than some cum.

The woman saw a chance for a handsome compensation.

Not the first time we read about something like this.
