snoop1130 Posted August 16, 2018 Share Posted August 16, 2018 More than five years for lewd acts with teen pupil, rape trial to follow By Prasit Tangprasert The Nation A 51-year-old Nakhon Ratchasima school director, who is at the centre of a scandal of having an inappropriate intimate relationship with a 14-year-old pupil, was sentenced on Thursday to an immediate jail sentence of five years and two months for four charges linked to lewd acts committed with a minor under 15 and taking her away from her parents for the purposes of a lewd act . Sentencing was separate from a charge the man faces of raping a girl under 15. Witness hearing sessions foir that trial will be held from October 16 to 18. The Bua Yai Provincial Court judge found Nathapop Boonthongtho guilty and initially jailed him for 10 years and four months before commuting that by half due to his confession. The court judge also said that the defendant had the right to appeal the current sentence within 30 days. Nathapop had already been dismissed from the civil service without any pension and welfare benefits over the serious ethic code breach linked to this scandal.

from the home of CC Posted August 16, 2018 Share Posted August 16, 2018 these people that are in 'power positions' over vulnerable victims need to face enhanced sentencing for a real deterrent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scouse123 Posted August 17, 2018 Share Posted August 17, 2018 It will get worse for him because now in October comes the even more serious charge of rape of a minor under 15. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fantom Posted August 17, 2018 Share Posted August 17, 2018 What is a 'lewd act' and how is it defined in thai law? Also, irrespective of age, how is 'rape' legally defined? I am genuinely curious as there seem to be some very woolly statements like 'Thailand statutory rape law' floating around. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Actually it may only deter those that are not privileged to hidden information of local or national government graft and corruption. Those privileged with that info will still act with impunity..The courts waiting five years here may attest to his status of a partial" Hi-So " with out enough money to buy his way out of the trial.

Perhaps... but hopefully a long time stay at the Bangkok Hilton hotel is inclusive in the price, for any potential buyer. this isn’t about what a child could, would or should do, but about what the adult could, would or should do.

seajae Posted August 17, 2018 Share Posted August 17, 2018 from reading certain posts one can see why some members come to/live in Thailand, unfortunately there isnt a lot we can do about these people. Laws protecting minors are there for a reason, these young girls and boys do not have the mental ability/experience/knowledge to actually be able to agree to having sex with pedo's with full knowledge of what they are doing, in many cases they have been forced into it by others. We all realize there are some sick bastards that see these kids as fair game, the laws need to be there to protect them from these people as in this case. Anyone trying to claim otherwise either dont have the ability to think rationally, never had kids of their own or have their own pathetic reasons for doing so, just my opinion as a father Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Visit any hill-tribe village, hardly any females under 14 years old that aren't carrying a baby around. And the Burmese construction workers in my moobaan, plenty of 15-year-olds, all with husbands. Reality is after puberty women have children/lovers/husbands, you just can't fight nature. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aussieroaming Posted August 17, 2018 Share Posted August 17, 2018 To the people who think having sex with a 14 or 15 year old child is acceptable, you need some serious attitude re-adjustment. You are mentally ill and a danger to society. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldrunner Posted August 17, 2018 Share Posted August 17, 2018 I think many 15 -17 year olds look mature and can easily pass for 18 + years old, particularly for a bloke who's had a pint or two. Isn't there a seduction law against underage girls looking older and picking on old blokes? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From hearsay : that if you gesture your hand like in masturbation it is considered a lewd act. And oh, any penetration no matter how deep is considered rape, is it not?
