Panel finds evidence of school director’s ‘romantic’ relationship with schoolgirl

A FACT-FINDING probe has found sufficient grounds substantiating that a 51-year-old school director in Nakhon Ratchasima’s Bua Yai district had an inappropriate romantic relationship with a 14-year-old Mathayom 2 schoolgirl.
 

The results of the investigation will today be forwarded to the provincial education committee, chaired by the province’s governor, to set up a disciplinary committee to further investigate and punish the man administratively if he is found guilty. 

 

Ban Patong Thanoen Samakkee School director Nathapop Boonthongtho could also face a criminal charge of taking a minor under 15 away from his or her parent or guardian, which the Bua Yai police and a Provincial Police Region 3-assigned team have said they are investigating. The charge is punishable with imprisonment of between three and 15 years and a fine of Bt6,000 to Bt30,000.

 

Punishment could also include dismissal from the civil service with or without his pension and other benefits, Nakhon Ratchasima Primary Education Service Area Office 6 deputy director Supapongsa Chantharang said yesterday. 

 

Supapongsa led the fact-finding panel examining the allegation against Nathapop.

 

He said Nathapop and the schoolgirl, whose name had been withheld due to her age, would testify before the serious disciplinary probe committee.

Neither Nathapop nor the girl have attended the school this week since the scandal broke. 

 

Nathapop was transferred on Tuesday to the education office effective immediately, pending the investigation’s final results, but has not reported for his new duties.

 

Permanent Secretary for Justice Ministry Thawatchai Thaikhiew, meanwhile, wrote on his personal Facebook page that the school director would probably face criminal charges related to the case. 

 

He cited the charge of statutory rape, which involves engaging in sexual contact with a minor under 15 regardless of the victim’s consent, which is punishable by four to 20 years in jail and a Bt8,000 to Bt40,000 fine. The charge cannot be reduced in a plea agreement.

 

If the girl’s parents had given consent to an illegal relationship between the two, they could also face up to six months in prison, a fine of as much as Bt60,000 or both for violating the Child Protection Act’s Section 26 (3).

 

Police have already issued a summons for Nathapop to hear charges of taking a minor under 15 to commit a lewd act at the Bua Yai precinct with a deadline of today. If he fails to appear, police may issue an arrest warrant for him, said Bua Yai superintendant Pol Colonel Kharom Buasod. 

 

Police also would investigate if Nathapop had had sex with the girl before deciding whether to statutory rape charges, he said.

This is the second time that the guy has been found to have inappropriate relationships with female students. Or, to put it another way, he is a pedophile who uses his school position to molest young girls.

 

BTW, there is no such thing as a 'romantic' relationship between a 51 year old man and a 14 year old girl.

 

Throw his ass in jail and leave it there for a long, long time.

Clearly this man has no brain, so that one can be removed to get rid of his sick urge.
After that I can think of another part on his body that also is up for removal.

Sick bastard!

[grumbleweed]

No doubt he now has the threat of the dreaded inactive post and the forced graap hanging over his head. That'll teach him to keep his hands out of little girls panties 

[Just1Voice]

Didn't a previous article state that he had been transferred from a former school to this one for exactly the same type of actions?  

This POS should never be allowed to teach anywhere ever again.

Unless he pays a large sum would be my guess

[RobFord]

According to the GF who has been following this on Thai news he was busted at a previous school for “touching” a ten year old girl, and was then transferred to the other school with a 5% drop in pay for two months (there may have been a lump sum to the parents as well).

The parents of the 14 year haven’t filed a police report, possibly because they’re looking for a pay out. 

He has a twenty year old wife he married at 16 who’s just now left him. 

[BEVUP]

He should be sacked for the obvious & for not turning up to work  (sent to an office job but decided to not turn up ), we would be sacked in the west

I hope the girl will not be testifying on behalf of the relationship. Although a party to it, if proven, she does not have the cognitive capacity to understand the gravity of such a relationship. That is why it is statutory rape.

 

But in any event I await the outcome.

The sick bar steward deserves many years in jail.

Bad enough any man having sex with a 14 year old girl, but he is a school director, which makes it 10 times worse.

 

My wife told me it is in the Thai news, that the girl was living with a young lad ( as husband and wife ) since she was 12.

Then dumped the boy for the director.

So her parents were fully aware of what the girl was doing, which makes them just as bad as the director.

around 1000 years ago in england the rich could murder, rape and do pretty much as they pleased as long as they paid compensation to injured parties if the sh*t hit the fan. at that time it was decided that such crimes were against the country and population as a whole not and simply the injured person. the laws were changed as it was agreed that in a civilised society law breakers should not be able to buy their way out of trouble.

 

thailand has a bit of catching up to do.

Quote

The same school director was earlier faulted for having committed an indecent act with a Pathom 6 student at another school and was disciplined with his salary cut by 5 percent for two months after the student’s parents entered into a compromise deal with the director. He was later transferred to the current school in Bua Yai district.

Hey Mom and Dad, what's up with that???  

[Oziex1]

To us it would seem a serious crime has been committed worthy of an immediate and thorough investigation by  law enforcement officers.

But wait lets not do that, lets have a fact finding panel with some knob head leading a bunch of hopeless sycophants who will hand down their findings to another knob and his team of creeps.

 

In other words some public official has been caught out, so the other officials launch a group money grabbing action, and this is justice!

And send him to another school, which they did before.

Other sick bastards are doing weird things to much younger people. But you';re right, they have to set an example that it rumbles in the jungle...

Careful using the word 'paedophile' to refer to men who engage in relationships with 14 year olds. You'll have a few members on here vehemently telling you that you've got the definition wrong. They even show you dictionary definitions for the words 'child' and 'paedophile', etc. They'll post wiki links, studies of psychologists and the semantics and origin of the 'p' word. 

 

After all of that, you'll be left with that one disconcerting question to these members, "Why are you telling me this?"
