Did he have any criminal records before coming to Thailand? I think Thailand should start vetting dangerous criminals from now on.

[RafPinto]

37 years old?

He looks much older.

Pervert.

So, does that mean he had a criminal record, and it's Thailand's fault?

A lot of mixed stories, the maid left the tap on and flooded the shop, which then turned red, the owner happened to look on cctv and saw the only member of staff had been attacked, they broke into the shop, so was the maid in the shop at the same time so as to leave the water running at the same time as the alleged incident, now a 12 year old girl is involved and face book is saying the victim and alleged American were known to each other, more to come out from this i fear.

[ezzra]

Wouldn't wanna be in his shoes right now for all the tea in China, and if his guilty, than god may have mercy on his soul coz the Thai people won't...

Not sure what you are reading but pretty much all of that is incorrect.

Oh and you magically have all the evidence and complete information available to you.
Heck, can you tell me the winning lottery numbers? I mean you have all the numbers.

I guess he's been reading the news reports on this incident that have been posted on this forum in the last day or so.  All of the details mentioned have been in them.

Which part and I will refer to the relevant media

[Gold Star]

By the time he is out, there will only be electric motorbikes.

Nice CRF. He won't be needing it anymore.

I wonder how many kms?

You seem to forget that there are plenty of scumbags around the world that have so far not been arrested for anything and therefore don't have a criminal record.

You can't vet everyone who arrives in Thailand, dangerous criminals don't generally have the fact tattooed on their foreheads.

are you suggesting that this massage shop might have been a front and was offering something more sinister or the mentioned 12yo was the womans daughter and the woman had a current or past relationship with this American

 

I have to admit the original report on here made no sense to me, I just put it down to poor reporting

 

I think you are right - there is a lot of stuff missing from this story

 

Either way glad they caught this scumbag before he butchered or abused anyone else, very likely not his first rodeo

Looks like a setup to me. Amazing how expats jump on their own.

What brings you to that conclusion ?

Are you defending him just he is of the same race as you ?

Not suggesting but waiting with interest the final report, the reporting has been somewhat poor to say the least.

[scubascuba3]

Makes me wonder if he's done other crimes, unreported 

[Will B Good]

Said soi 4 in the BP?

 

The hotel next to us on soi 4 was swarming with immigration this pm.....could have been something else happening I guess.

There is nothing tattooed on the forehead but there is such a thing called "certificate of good conduct" for those who want to stay in Thailand for more than x months.

I doubt we will be all on electric in 3 years, doubt he will be sitting here longer. But yeah, the last time he drove in Thailand.

[ChaiyaTH]

Let's be happy that criminals like this aren't the brightest tools in the shed. Keeping to drive the same bike and then park it in soi nana bangkok LOL. He might as well drive straight to the police station.

Absolutely not, despite the fact that his has not been found guilty yet. 

 

Everytime a farang is charged with a crime, all the others jump out the woodwork to show their disgust and to dissociate themselves from this kind of guy. It's the same with them criticizing alcoholics, drug addicts, English teachers, just self-righteous judgement to raise their own low self-esteem. 

These crimes happen all the time with Thais, yet they never comment on it.

He has reportedly blamed it all on his being high on drugs at the time so of course it is not his fault at all - the world is to blame for making him high.  ????

He has already tried to blame it on being high.

I have excellent self esteem, and am disgusted at this "alleged" attack.
