A high profile US livestreamer threatened to “kill himself” after learning he faces five years in a Thailand jail for streaming a scantily-clad sexy lap dance for his girlfriend in a Bangkok hotel.

 

Paul Denion, better known as “Ice Poseidon ” to his followers, was arrested by Thai police after he was reported for livestreaming himself dressed half-naked in women’s lingerie performing a lap dance for his sexy blonde girlfriend.

The incident took place in the Banyan Tree Hotel on South Sathorn Road, in Bangkok. The hotel’s manager tried to kick out the US liverstreamer and his party for indecent behaviour when the police promptly arrived and arrested all of them while he was livestreaming.

On learning he faces five years in jail for distribution of obscene content, Denion said…

“If I get five years, I’m just going to kill myself. I will not be able to survive in a Thai jail.”

 

“I’m being held in Thailand for the actions that I’ve done a few nights ago at a hotel in Bangkok Thailand.

Which laws did he break?

Play stupid games, win stupid prizes.

 

Seriously, do none of these people realise that they are in Thailand and the rules are different here?

There are millions of virtually the same thing on all social media in Thailand. By Thai folks, however. I don't know, is that the diff? Like the Chinese woman showing her butt in the songtaew. It is happening everyday. Hell, Songkran is endless girls and ladyboys girating their almost in full view stuff. Outside of Songkran, a bit less, but nonetheless an ongoing twerk and jerk-athon, in concerts, bars, car shows, fashion shows, Mor Lam, village festival, wedding, school day....it's endless. I'd kill myself, too, before spending 5 years in jail.

Based upon professional most who threaten to commit suicide rarely go through with it.  It's the quiet ones who usually carry things out into the great unknown.  

 

He will not get much sympathy or empathy from anyone (from Thai or Foreigner).  

Kinda freaky dude. However he will be popular in jail for sure by the name Paulina or Polly shortly.

Or may he thinks he can claim "I'm an American citizen so in Thailand you can't jail me."

He will not get 5 years in jail,that is probably the maximum sentence he is talking about.

Admitting to the crime will already cut the sentence in half.

He will get a good scare and be sent home to the US.

He is risking 1 year in jail for every chromosome he is missing.

He should have chosen his location more wisely. Doing this in a very nice 5 star hotel is idiotic. Doing it in Soi Cowboy wouldn't have had the police called.

 

Not that I advise wearing skimpy lingerie in trips to Soi Cowboy - but what did he expect, given the location?

Those ears are just offensive. 

Posts advocating harm, and with inappropriate content have been removed.

Maybe I am misunderstanding this, but if it was just for his girlfriend, couldn't he have just FaceTimed, or Skyped her rather than doing a livestream for everyone to see? Or was it a moneymaking scheme? 

 

I doubt he will get a jail sentence. Probably just deported with a blacklist ban for a while.

That's a good point. I suppose something along the lines of lewd and lascivious behavior. Oh, I just re-read it. It's the online part that they're pushing. I'm not the police, of course, and I don't make the rules. However, how about a fine and call it a day?

If you read the other link in the linked article, you see he has been scamming a lot of people. 

Let him go to prison for quite a while, maybe he learns something.

Another 'Internet Personality' who is a boil on the backside of humanity. This guy has got quite a track record of misdemeanors in various countries including being banned from some hotels in Switzerland for breaking filming laws there, and also trying to set up a cryptocurrency scam.  10 years in a Thai jail would be more appropriate.

Well, for one thing, he needed permission to film inside the hotel, which clearly he did not have, as the manager was trying to stop him.

It was to make money.

Read the story. How hard can it be?

Som nom na. And what is 5 years. There are people who get 20 years for doing nothing

Mel Brooks, still kicking, he'll be 98 this month.

 

Cleavon Little (above) unfortunately died at 53. RIP

My initial reaction was "There are already too many people stealing my air, so go ahead and off yourself."

 

Of COURSE this is an idle threat he makes. Most likely, if he'd just shut his mouth and shown a little humility, 500 baht and a sincere wai would have gotten him out of this strait. Instead, he's challenging authorities way beyond his comprehension. Som nom na.

Promises, promises.

 

The only obscenity committed here, is the one done by the RTP. The level of pretense, the level of fake purity, the dumb and mindless application of laws here is beyond inane. 

 

What he was doing might be considered wierd by some. But, it was so utterly harmless. Women are getting abducted, raped and trafficked at this very moment, by Thai officials, and the police are pretending to be engaged in law enforcement. I seriously hope this results in just another omelette on the face of the rather useless RTP.
