Former Democrat deputy leader Prinn Panitchpakdi reported to Huai Khwang police this morning (Thursday) to acknowledge another allegation of sexual assault, in Thailand’s biggest #MeToo case to date.

 

The alleged victim claimed that the assault occurred in 2019, when she was a 17-year-old intern and was travelling in a car, being driven by Prinn, on the way to a metro station in Bangkok’s Huai Khwang district.

Of course he will.

Deformation charges against 15 victims... lets see what holds up in court first.

He doesn't appear bothered at all. I'm sure that "compensation" in exchange for dropping charges is being widely discussed.
