Son of a National Legislative Assembly member was caught filming up women's skirts in Topshop's flagship store on Oxford Street in London.

 

Pratyayoud Tupchareon, 27, son of Youdtana who is an NLA member, has been spared jail after he claimed he had been inspired by YouTube videos. Daily Mail online reported on March 21 that his mother, Jutipon, is a judge.

 

He was spotted by security guards in the ladies fashion store in London following women around with a long lens protruding from his rucksack.

 

Tupchareon claimed that he had been inspired by YouTube videos of people 'up-skirting' - when someone secretly films underneath a skirt.

 

According to Daily Mail, Ciaran Cronin, prosecuting, said: 'At about 2pm on the day in question, two security guards in Topshop on Oxford Street observed the defendant behaving suspiciously.

'What they observed first of all was the defendant following females around the store, they believed this to be suspicious because he didn't appear to be interested in any of the stock.

 

'They also observed in his interactions with a number of females, that he kept placing his brown rucksack on the ground and lifting it back up again.

 

'He continued to do this a number of times and at one point one of the security guards noticed the long lens of a camera inside his bag.'

Tupchareon was spoken to by security and police arrived to seize his camera and arrested him, the online said.

 

He had shot a video up a woman's skirt outside the shop, the court heard.

 

Cronin added: 'The camera is angled up her skirt, she is not wearing any tights and her skirt was above the knee in length.

 

'The second video, from the store itself, shows the defendant approaching three females, all wearing short skirts, they were not wearing tights or leggings.'

 

He was able to capture the legs of two of the girls and managed to film the underwear of a third, Westminster Magistrates' Court heard.

District Judge Elizabeth Roscoe said: 'What on earth was he thinking? Why was he doing it?'

 

Tupchareon said he had watched videos on YouTube but told the judge: 'I don't have a YouTube account and I have never posted a video.'

The judge added: 'Mr Tupchareon I don't know what you were thinking, you're 27-years-old, you're not a child.

 

'You are extremely lucky that you have a very supportive family but this is your responsibility and it was outrageous behaviour - unpleasant, disrespectful and potentially, deeply offensive.

 

'I do accept, because nothing else was found on any of your media equipment, that this was just a one off occasion and I do accept that this was not for your own sexual gratification.

 

The 27-year-old was in the Topshop store on Oxford Street when he started to film up women's skirts

 

'Though had you been successful, I cannot imagine that you would not have shown others.

 

'It was very stupid, clearly you have hurt your family, who must be appalled and shocked.

 

'And it is time that you accept responsibility for your own actions and in my view that requires a community order.'

 

Tupchareon studied at Regent's University, a private college in Regent's Park, London, where annual fees start at £17,000.

 

His father, Youdtana, distinguished himself with a career as Governor of the State Railway of Thailand, before moving into public office as a Senator in the National Legislative Assembly.

 

His parents, both qualified lawyers, jetted into London yesterday from Bangkok to attend the sentencing.

 

The young man has had to defer starting a postgraduate course at Westminster University while the proceedings have taken place.

 

Tupchareon, of Oxford, who admitted outraging public decency, was banned from the City of Westminster for four months and made to wear a tag.

 

He must be home between 7pm and 6am for 12 weeks. In addition he must pay a victim surcharge of £85 and costs of £85.

mmmm

he is Thai

This young man must have lived a very protected life...since he was not aware, that in his home country, you can buy the real thing on every street corner......

Real way to apply the law, Thailand! Red Bull, anyone?

'Your family must be appalled and shocked,' says the Judge.

 

Maybe (although I very much doubt it - except for the 'loss of face'). But they are not appalled and shocked by military dunderheads hijacking a whole nation and keeping it under the boot. In fact - they actively support that!

Why is this story repeated? I thought it must have been a second one.

Pathetic Thai man child. 

Could have visited Wat Phra Kaew...

 

 

 

Thai man in England made to wear a tag as punishment for committing a crime.

 

Foreign man in Thailand made to wear a tag as punishment for being a tourist. (Maybe!)

How did he make his lens penatrate the cellulite and Arab cumstains?

Most men would be too embarrassed to walk around Topshop alone, maybe Topman wouldn't let him in.

 

I imagine security had him pegged as a stalker or a pantie enthusiast right away, though I'm sure they weren't expecting upskirt photos... 

Clever boy! Must have invested some time on that project...

I bet the mother was surprised she couldn't pull strings in this case. 

 

Either way, he should be black-listed. I bet a farang would be if it happened in Thailand!

What a fuss about nothing. If he wasn't the son of a hi-so Thai he'd of been kicked out of the shop and told to get lost.

 

No, when they tapped his name into their database the words "bingo" appeared. I think the father has a few enemies in Los who took their chance to destroy his families honour.

Habits that distinguish stupid from intelligent people 

Stupid people blame others for their mistakes.
Fewer intelligent people are reluctant to take responsibility for their transgressions and instead pity themselves or seek blame on others. Intelligent people know that mistakes also mean a chance to learn.

Disgraceful!

 

If it had of been a farang in Thailand, it would have been on national news, fingers pointing, mobile phones in abundance, half the nations police force 

Disgraceful!

 

I'm a Brit and digusted at the lack of punishment handed out to that Thai pervert!

 

Thais constantly accuse foreigners as being sex starved individuals, but its  a fact that Thai mummy boy males are perverts!

 

If it had of been a farang, in Thailand, he would have been paraded on national TV, the news would have gone viral with fingers pointing, comments of 'look look farang, farang', with mobile phones in abundance, half the nations police force squeezed into a small interrogation office, wearing sunglasses, mobile phones grafted to ears, waving blank A4 paper, bouncing of each other, not having a clue as to why they are really there.

 

All for show.

 

Look what farang are like!

 

Blind leading the blind!

 

What about the victims rights!  What about the infringement of the victims privacy!!!!

 

What if the victims where your daughter, girlfriend, wife , mother ,or even grandmother?!

 

How would you feel?

 

If the sex offender was a Brit, no doubt, he would have been arrested, thrown in jail, brought up in front of a judge and probably  fined and labeled a sex offender, and possably added to the sex offenders list!

 

That Thai perverts actions are as good as none physical rape and an intrusion of a females privacy and rights. 

 

Reenacted what the pervert saw on YouTube pranks! BS!!

 

The British Police fell for that crap much the same as the obvious murders of the two Brits on that mafia run Island of parasites.

 

He is a PERVERT and got away with it!

 

He is probably back in mummies arms with laughter all round.

 

Britain has no back bone!

 

Egg on your face, so called British justice. You make Brits look like idiots. Easy touches.

 

It should be renamed,  Britain, easy justice for Thai perverts! Crap justice for victims!

 

I feel for the victims.
