Sounds like he traveled with the intent of working as a teacher. 4 6 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In Most civilian countries, you can be punished for crimes done abroad. Buy sex is illegal in Norway, but selling is allowed, meaning you could be prosecuted for buying sex abroad. For sure will be prosecuted if evidence someone had sex with minors! Edited September 4, 2023 by Hummin 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post likerdup1 Posted September 4, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted September 4, 2023 (edited) It says he was wanted for "taking a minor who is over 15 years old but not exceeding 18 years old away from their parents, guardian, or caretaker without reasonable cause, willingly and intentionally." The article head line maybe wrong. Why he was arrested may not be for statutory rape YET.. The age of consent in Thailand is 15. HOWEVER, he is an authority as a teacher and the age of consent in that case is 18. ALSO! the age of consent is 18 in the USA and I have heard the USA may have some policy in place with many countries to allow the arrest of US citizens who travel for sex with under age women. Before the discussion ensues I think it would be prudent to figure out just what is going on. This article has some contradictory information.

He may be viewed as and authority as a teacher and in that case the age of consent is 18 in Thailand. It also states he was wanted for taking her away from her parents which is illegal since she is under 18.

Popular Post herfiehandbag Posted September 4, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted September 4, 2023 He is a language school teacher, an occupation much less regulated than a classroom English teacher in a conventional school. Of course, as a "Tic Toccist" (or whatever the correct term is) with a large following he may well have believed that the rules did not apply to him. Either way, filming her and putting her on Tic Toc was an epic example of supreme plonkerdom! 1 2 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Thai authorities can easily contact US authorities and the dude is toast. [Under the Prosecutorial Remedies and Other Tools to End the Exploitation of Children Today Act of 2003 (PROTECT Act), it is a crime, prosecutable in the United States, for a U.S. citizen or lawful permanent resident to engage in illicit sexual conduct in a foreign country with a person under the age of 18, whether or not the U.S. citizen or lawful permanent resident intended to engage in such illicit sexual conduct prior to going abroad.] https://travel.state.gov/content/travel/en/international-travel/emergencies/arrest-detention/crimes-against-minors.html 2 1 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If she's of legal age, is it illicit? Seems like he was banged up for "taking a minor who is over 15 years old but not exceeding 18 years old away from their parents, guardian, or caretaker without reasonable cause, willingly and intentionally." Don't get me wrong, I think the guy's an idiot, and wouldn't have objected to the family taking him out back and dispensing some justice. But whether he'll be prosecuted "back home" isn't so sure. Unless Thailand actually charges him with a sex crime. 1 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
