There's also no evidence he took a drowsy girl to the beach. Unless you're selectively choosing which part of the story to believe. You wouldn't do that, would you? 5 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Thai forensics would not be able to conclude a DNA test within 2 months, I can not imagine how many would be bashing Thai police on this forum. I'm also sure that IF the UK forensics had found such evidence that report would be all over this forum, so explain why there is no report. I will give you a clue. In the UK indeed in real countries there are such things as legal process and such matters are dealt with in places known as COURTS. Check Wikipedia. The Thai Visa forum is not a COURT.

Popular Post Khun Paul Posted September 15, 2018 Popular Post Share Posted September 15, 2018 (edited) Ok after all the BS from many , we seem to forget that a 19yr old underwent a traumatic occurrence and whatever you may personally think of her, lety us at least try to show some modicum of decorum on here. Rape in English law is easy to say , hard to prove and even harder to disprove, therefore all allegations are taken seriously. Whether or not is seems as if she is not exactly telling the truth, then I am sure the Brfit police would have made a few enquires themselves as to the history behind this girl, and possibly already outlined their results to the RTP . The RTP have not been given permission to interview her ( and that would be done under ENGLISH law ). 99% of the time Rape interviews are carried out by a Female officer, I hope the RTP are taking one who speaks and reads English . Whether she agrees to be interviewed is her decision, as she is over the age of consent ( 19 ) then even her mother cannot stop her. However I am sure she will be legally represented and advised . As to the threats made by the RTP against her, then there in my book posturing and making themselves ,look silly, having already decided that a Rape did not occur, I can only assume that this interview is to save face, nothing to do with identifying an offender, especially if it is a Thai, as we know from past experience , I quote here : 'Thais do not do that' . So whatever the outcome I am sure the UK press will be all over it , much to RTP annoyance as they do not control International press and certainly have no sway over the UK press. So any damage that may be done to the RTP or Kao Tao or even Thailands Tourism industry , will be done because of the actions by the RTP , nothing to do with the crime Edited September 15, 2018 by Khun Paul Spelling and a minor addition. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

joebrown Posted September 15, 2018 Share Posted September 15, 2018 1 hour ago, Just Weird said: "Her friend, Martin, was with her when she was allegedly refused the right to report the rape (that's right - we have TWO people who have stated this)". That would be the same Martin that was supposed to be escorting her safely home after she said she felt drowsy after a night on the sherbert but who, for some reason, took the drowsy girl to the beach. There, according to her story in The Times they sat down together, she was unraped at that stage. Some time later she awoke alone, allegedly raped, on the same beach, with no sign of her Sir Gallahad (Martin) who appears to have left her there and buggered off. Maybe Sir Galahad (Martin) was thinking (as you do) that nothing untoward ever happens on the paradise island of Koh Tao. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post cass74 Posted September 15, 2018 Popular Post Share Posted September 15, 2018 The comments against this 19 year old girl are disturbing and this is the reason why many rape victims don’t come forward. None of of us know what happened but have formed our opinions based on our own experiences of Thailand & Koh Tao I personally see the truth in her allegation, when I first read the news report and the sequence of events I actually thought that the way she had reacted was totally understandable and sensible. 1) Get off the island - at least you’re alive and she’d have been aware corrupt police 2) report at next available police station 3) police refuse to take rape allegation, take evidence home and report there Pointless going to Embassy as they are diplomats with no power over Thai police It isn’t only her word , there is her friends word as well, he was drugged too 6 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why didn’t the Thai Police interview the complainant while she was in Thailand ? They did want to interview her while she was in Thailand. She was told to report to the correct jurisdiction police in Koh Tao, but instead she decided to only report the loss of some items for an insurance claim, meet her boyfriend at a full loon party and then do a disappearing act sharpish. She didn`t even bother to report the matter to the British Embassy for their support. The next thing is a statement from mummy berating the police and the island. Another point, the boyfriend and friends she was with have all gone quite. Why? Because they too know this rape claim is a load of bull because no one has come forward as witnesses to offer their support. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
