Suspects in schoolgirl rape case urged to stay quiet

Volunteer lawyers for suspects in the alleged gang rape of a teenage schoolgirl in Phang Nga province have advised their clients to stop giving media interviews to avoid possible defamation.

 

Eight suspects have already been arrested in connection with the gang rapes that allegedly took place between May and December last year. The alleged victim, now 15, said more than 40 men took part in the sexual assaults. 

 

Of the eight suspects arrested, two have already been released on bail. 

 

“Local people in the village where the crimes allegedly took place [put forward] money to submit bonds for two more suspects,” lawyer Sanpetch Tipmontien said on Monday.

 

Yuttanakorn Juanjenkij, the kamnan overseeing the village, said local people had given Bt20 each to support the bail requests. 

 

Sanpetch said the money raised was not enough to put up bail for all the accused.

 

He added that he was in the process of seeking the temporary release of the other suspects through the Justice Fund.

the villagers donated 20 baht each for bail efforts.

If, as reported, it is only a village of 180 people then the 20baht donation shouldn't cover bail for any of them.

There must be more to this if the villagers want the perpetrators out on bail.

'Volunteer lawyers for suspects in the alleged gang rape of a teenage schoolgirl in Phang Nga province have advised their clients to stop giving media interviews to avoid possible defamation.'

 

Er, defamation of whom?

 

'Sanpetch said the money raised was not enough to put up bail for all the accused.'

 

At B20 per villager? No s___t, Sherlock? Not sure whether it's the villagers making a genuine effort at having them bailed, or a veiled hint at their thoughts on the accused.

At B20 each? Highly likely there is, but I doubt it's about bail.

A village of 180 and 40 of the men involved with the rape, well suspected of being

involved, what a disgusting village!

When you look at it that way. It would appear just about  every male in the village was involved. No wonder the village is more worried about their precious image than the well being of the girl. In many cases here in Thailand the girl who is raped becomes the quilty party when she looks for justice. What a sick society.

For this post, they will sue you for harming the local tourism.

Maybe that villages women should de nut their husbands if they know that Wonderful

Husband is one of the rapists.

Allegedly involved with rape.

Up till found guilty they are innocent.

And mind, it is all on the say so of the alleged victim.

 

[Stargeezr]

Do not forget that this Victim is a young teen girl,  all of you who are defending any

of the 40 accused.

Geezer

[inThailand]

A typical village in LOS?

 

Shut up and cover up the mischief.

Allegedly involved with rape.
Up till found guilty they are innocent.
And mind, it is all on the say so of the alleged victim.
 

Even if they are innocent of raping a 14 year old child they are guilty of having sex with an underage girl. Paedophiles I think they are called.
Can you explain how she is an "alleged" victim when she was 14 years old?
