Music teacher’s licence suspended for molesting student

By The Nation

 

 

A music teacher’s licence was suspended after he was accused of molesting and raping a 12-year-old female student on Valentine’s day in the southern province of Chumphon, Education Minister Nataphol Teepsuwan revealed on Sunday (February 16).

 

“We are trying to punish this man for his actions. Our legal department is looking into any other objectionable behaviour by this man. We have blacklisted him, which will disqualify him from working as a teacher or working in the education circle,” the minister said.

 

Nataphol added that in the past there was some laxity in cracking down on some such people as a result administrators, teachers and relevant educational personnel who committed crimes like corruption and sexual harassment continued in education circles.

 

The minister vowed that from now on, he would not let any person who commits these kinds crimes continue in the field of education.

Yep, that'll teach him ????

 

How about a couple of decades in prison as well? Not one mention of the teachers arrest in the news report.

In the classic words of school reports since time began "Must try harder", morons!

I can think of a lot more appropriate words to describe his actions than 'objectionable'.

'Despicable' and 'abhorrent' are just two that come to mind !

What a wonderful system you have! Until these attitudes change, and just not in education circles, you are forever locked in the third world!

That's just nonsense, all he need is money and he can buy a position in another school.  Corruption works and the minister can do nothing.

Headline says molesting, story says rape. Thats about par for the course when it comes to “Thai journalism.”

[Somtamnication]

Good news. Hope he faces the "music"!

[ChrisY1]

In any society, rape of a minor would bring 10-15 at least.

In the Thai Education department (read Thai government), they are still wondering how to punish this pr##k! 

Try explaining this to people back home....!

"We are trying to punish this man for his actions."

 

Why on earth is the word "trying" in here? And that from the Education top-dog!

[JustAnotherHun]

What could this punishment be? Transfering him to an inactive post in the department of education or as an advisor to the general?

Teacher of fiddle?

Seriously though, why do teachers seem to be immune from the law?

[ChipButty]

Trying........? Does he realise what he said?

Yup, including 10 or 15 Valentine's Days just for him, during which he hopefully will be played by his sex-starved fellow inmates like a fiddle.

[BobBKK]

'suspended'?  for raping a 12 year old???  so that's ok then... back to Piano Forte in a few months. DISGRACEFUL.

[Scott Tracy]

I love all the responses on here.

 

It is reported that he is accused. Everyone here has him guilty. What happened to due process?due

Probably nothing. It's widely believed that the police often do not investigate crimes unless there's a chance to parade the perp at a news conference called by... the police (the Thai press are pretty lazy as well). Frequently, the victim must present the police with all the evidence needed for the police to prosecute (unless they'rerepaying a favour or an IOU). Not that I think that of course, but it seems to be widely believed by Thais.

 

In the meantime, the Music Teacher will likely start playing the 'old pals' game (or the 'brown envelope' game if that doesn't work) - always assuming he's guilty of course, to try and avoid the consequences of a crime that he allegedly chose to commit - assuming that the 'ít wasn't me, it was someone else entirely' defence is ignored or otherwise not accepted).

 

Allegedly.

 

Welcome to Thailand.

In the aftermath, the school will blame the student for looking "very attractive"

Unlikely to happen. More likely is that he'll be quietly transferred o full pay to a school where the director is a mate of the director where he is. that's a favour, an IOU to be cashed in when needed.

 

Welcome to Thailand. The IOU system extends from the very bottom to the top and all points in between.

Well they should built a complete picture.

 

But even if he's 'clean' of any other transgressions he should be in Jail for at least 5 years for rape (if proven) plus blacklisted meaning that he is barred from teaching forever and barred from any employment or activity involving females less than 30 years old.

People back home never give Thailand a moment's thought. It's just an insignificant backwater with no influence on anyone anywhere. Used to be good for a cheap holiday, once upon a time. That's it.

No jail-sick place

OK, this post will get everyone MAD!!!!  

 

Look, many guys come here and exploit, molest, and "rape" bar girls who are drunk and are forced to work and please farang.  Farang smiles and doesn't want to think about reality.  Oh, this is Thailand, it's OK, they tell themselves.  Or, well, everyone does it.  Or, well, ... blah, blah, blah.... i'm handsome, so it's OK.  

 

If you want to give girls and women a voice, maybe quit your behaviour.  

 

Yea, my horse is high as I sit in Pattaya and drink my 20th Leo before 11:00 a.m.  lol

 

Go farangs, be good people and set a good example!!!   LOL

If you give a bar girl 1000B to pleasure you it is not rape.
