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.

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.

Goodnews and i hope this will act as a deterrent for others!!!

There is hope!!!Show them they are not above the law and put them in jail.

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.

The mind boggles.  I haven't met any , maybe we live in different circles.

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.

Perhaps you should leave your 5 star hotel once in a while. There are plenty of them.

Pathetic retort. Childish. Well you seem to hang around them so not unexpected.

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?
