Siam Rath reported that TICAC (Thailand Internet Crime Against Children) officers headed by Pol Lt-gen Kornchai Khlaikhleung and local officers in Tak, NW Thailand, arrested a man called Olarn, 29, on a warrant for disseminating child pornography. 

 

He was doing this from a house in Mae Jarao sub-district. 

 

Computer equipment, a phone and 25 sim cards were taken into evidence, the latter being used to access a site known as VK or Vianglakorn. 

 

He had 3,094 members on his site that charges 300 baht for membership so that people can share and view child porn without having to download.

 

Investigations showed that Olarn was the owner of two sites under the VK name.

 

Olarn was arrested in 2021 and given a six month prison sentence (suspended for one year) and fined 50,000 baht.

 

His sites had around 176,000 followers looking for both child and adult porn that he got from OnlyFans,VK and Twitter. From this he set up his own VK network for "VIPs".

 

He made 900,000 baht doing this. 

 

It appeared his previous arrest was for taking part in protests against the government.

 

He was taken to Pak Kret police station in Nonthaburi.

They'll be a lot of 'normal' adult porn watchers potentially very worried about a knock on the door then, if they were only one click away.

 

Ah, porn, I remember the good old days before marriage !

Hi Richard, I hope you also remember one or two good days after marriage as well, possibly for different reasons!

Adult porn ok if that's something you enjoy, child porn totally unacceptable and those making it should be locked away for a long time.
