10 arrested for sharing content about tourist’s Koh Tao rape claim

Ten Facebook users who shared content regarding a rape claim posted to the controversial FB page CSI LA90210, have been arrested for allegedly violating the Computer Act.
 

They are suspected of causing damages to others and libelling them.

 

Three others wanted on the alleged offence are still at large. One of them is identified as Pramuk Anantasin, administrator of the FB page.

 

Earlier reports have identified Pramuk as living in the United States operating the page from there.

 

The 10 now in police custody have residence in Udon Thani, Bangkok, Nakhon Ratchasima, Pathum Thani, Nonthaburi, Pattalung and Chiang Mai.

 

The arrests followed the Court issuing an arrest warrant at the request of police.

 

Police have accused CSI LA90210, known among Thai netizens as CSI LA, of reporting false information concerning a rape claim by a 19-year-old Londoner, who alleged that she was drugged, robbed and raped during her vacation on Koh Tao island off Surat Thani province in June.

 

The alleged victim then filed a police complaint on nearby Koh Pangan island. It was still unclear why she did not file the complaint on Koh Tao.

 

She subsequently alleged that police there had refused to document the rape claim but accepted the robbery claim. Police deny that she had tried to file a rape complaint.

 

She then travelled back to London and informed her mother of the rape. The mother reportedly alerted UK police and handed over clothes that she claimed contained the DNA of the attackers.

 

When the complaint went public in UK media, Thai police set up an investigation team to probe the complaint and concluded the claimed rape had not occurred. However the FB page insisted otherwise.

 

Koh Tao had been infamous worldwide after two British backpackers were brutally killed in 2014.

They won't have this one. If he's wise he will stay put.

The CSI LA guy lives in California so I think he has dual citizenship. He will not return to Thailand, that's for sure.

Big Joke could give Interpol a call. He could make a Big Fool of himself like he has done previously.

I think after the election and the PM remains in power, all comments on this website will be locked on all political and police stories.

 

Hard to say if they will begin to track us down or not.

All Titanium members are in the book and first off the rank. Be ready for a knock on the door.

That would be real fun considering number of disgusting posts against Thailand?

If you insist on speaking your mind, maybe consider using a damn good VPN service

As for Facebook, I'll direct you to my avatar. What you say might be for general media online (TV too)...but a VPN is the answer, at least for now. Anyone that is not using one is silly.

I closed my Facebook account a couple of years ago, for several reasons. One of them being privacy, but also the egotism and superficial nature of the thing doesn't resonate with me

Ludicrous.  It is Big Joke and the police who should be jailed for libel.  They are accusing the girl of making false rape claims.  Even if she is they have absolutely no evidence whatsoever of that.

Jail the police for libel? Why? Can it be that you are to ignorant to understand the laws or you are really so stupid? She must provide the evidences to proof she were been raped!!! Not the police!!! And this she hasn't done (in Thailand). Even if she was raped, she destroyed all important evidences  and never reported a rape case in Thailand. What is so difficult to understand?
 

Do you really think the police in your home country would do more if the rape was never reported there and there is no evidence? Ask them what they would do !!! Maybe that will help you to understand how the laws work.

so what if coincidentally after reading all these paranoid comments you got one of those routine immigration inspection where a group of officers come to your house. :shock1:

 

i would be like holy shit! smash the hard drives! take a hammer to my phone! :cheesy:

Given that they haven't in any way interviewed the complainant yet

May be in these times and under this 'government' one will step on thin ice to conduct interviews at all...
