America can take action against any citizen having underage sex overseas as can Australia. 

But she is not underage in Thailand.............????

[Adumbration]

As I posted here months ago...the GFs older brother up in Isaan was dating a 16 year old and recently married her.  Open relationship everyone knew about it including the parents.  Whole village showed up for the wedding. 

 

He is in his fifties.  Why have a busload of senior ranking police not showed up to arrest him?

 

Everything is about money here in Thailand.  Everything.

"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."

So as I understand it, he is not charged for having consensual sex, but for keeping her away from her family?

You're mixing age of consent with the definition of pedophile. Just because you make something up doesn't make it correct. Your Americanized understanding doesn't mean anything to 2/3 of the world population. 

 

Don't believe everything what MSM is telling you, being attracted to a clearly post puberty 16 year old girl is not pedophilia. In fact, it is used to disguised the homosexual pedophiles by the media as using the term incorrectly is watering down the meaning. I'll give you a graphic example in hope you understand the issue: In case of a newspaper title of "homosexual couple rapes child" nobody thinks of a 0-10 year old child anymore.

 

 

Actually you are wrong. As an American citizen he is bound by the laws in the USA even if he is not in that country. He will find this out if he returns to the USA or perhaps he will be extradited back or have his visa for Thailand revoked and be forced to return. Either way he broke the laws and will be charged for it in the USA as well and added to their lists of pedophiles.

Conclusion, it is not the money or the desire to teach subjects to the students for Male teachers, it is the sex.

Strange mind set! Teaching in the uk is quite well paid with both excellent working conditions and pension so a very strange statement. Like a lot of career choices it is a vocation which can give great satisfaction seeing your students excel under your guidance. Please don't tar them with gutter mentality!

[Topah]

I searched this guy from google and he has linkedin page where it says he has MBA etc. I guess this level of education can still bring huge amount of stupidity. I cannot understand how someone can be this stupid. Also filming this... What he was thinking? He lost his public image and that is way worse than fine or some jail time. He will always be that dirty pedophile even the girl was already 16.

The question is how old is the teacher.. On the picture he doesn't seems so old, so it could be a normal situation, although it is not good to have a relation with a student. But look at president Macron of France .. he married his teacher

Macron was adult when their relationship began, the student is 16 years age, student being the operative word. Teachers have a professional responsibility towards students

The teacher is in a position of power over the student, so the age difference is immaterial

According to the article, the charge was:  "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." 

 

Sounds to me like sex wasn't even required to hit him with that charge.

 

Details matter...

He had filmed a previous encounter with her, and was found filming this one

Possibly selling on "dark web" , there is very large market for under age sex videos, several thousand consumers of online under vidoes arrest over past few years, material made and sold across the globe.

It's not a pedophilic fantasy, I don't wish to defend the teachers actions; due to the fact that he was in a position of responsibility which he abused. My father married mother at the age of 16.

I'm not sure I would hold up Macron, or France for that matter, as the beacon we should aspire to. (No insult to our French brethren intended)

The article says, "on charges of "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." 

 

I think his charges are a bit more than the act of intercourse with his student.

Do your research. It does not matter. Don't know why you are defending this sleaze given the video he made, the age at which he recruited her, the fact he is her teacher and the parents' complaints. Not to mention the complaints and dismissal from a previous school.

They are actually a bit less ..........

Around the same fine as failing to stop at an accident, 5kbht.

 

He didn't have sex with a minor.

Age of consent is 15 for unmarried girls, and 13 for married girls.

I know... trainers /teachers/bosses/ etc and pupils have ethics and are not allowed with their pupils... But on the other hand it happens... falling in love with a teacher/trainer or someone who has authority over you.....

I am well aware of what paedophila is. It is a psychiatric term that came in to popular usage. It is defined differently by psychiatrists and in the law and popular usage.

 

Psychiatry defines it as a mental illness where there is sole sexual interest in pre-pubertal children. It is not a crime, unless the fantasies are acted upon.

 

Common popular usage in the MSM and elsewhere, defines it as sex with minors below the age of majority. Age of majority varies from country to country. In the UK it is 16, in the US it is 18 and in Thailand I believe it is 20.

 

The guy is American, it is a crime in the US for a US citizen to have sex with a minor. The crime is statutory rape and carries a seven years sentence. They are aka sex pests and have to report to the police where they are living or sign the sex offenders register. The crime is often popularly referred to as pedophilia and the convicts are referred to as pedos or pedophiles, and this includes anyone having sex with minors irrespective of whether the minor was pre-pubertal.

 

 

Total BS. I met my Thai wife when she was 19 now 31, there was no suggestion that this was illegal.

Age of consent is 15 for unmarried girls, and 13 for married girls.

Read the case of Big Ass...

 

Ekarat Wongcharat, the leading vocal of Big Ass, made the headlines when a 17 year old men's magazine model nicknamed "Fai" appeared with her baby "Justin" and claimed that Wongcharat was the baby's father in February 2006. Allegedly they had sex when Fai was 16 years old, meaning that Wongcharat would be a child sex offender if the accusation was true. Wongcharat was subsequently arrested and released on bail on 27 February. While Wongcharat gave his blood sample for DNA testing in March, Fai and Justin did not give theirs until early May. On 10 May 2006 police announced that the result was negative. A retest performed by Khunying Pornthip Rojanasunand drew the same conclusion. Even through he is not the child's father, the trial for the underage sex offense remained. The trial began on 13 February 2007 and the court decision was announced on 21 March 2007. He received two years of a suspended sentence and must produce two anti-drug songs as pledged by the singer in exchange for a light sentence.[16][17]

I think you missed some key points. You need to reread the article and the charges he is facing. And if you think it is OK for a mid 20s teacher to film himself having sex with a 16 perhaps 15 year old student and remove her from her home against her parent's wishes, you are clearly deluding yourself regarding the implications of this situation for the ticktocker.

As I previously posted, no sleepovers and he would have had no problem.

Letting her move in for 5+ months without the parents permission caused him the problem.

What do you think of King Charles III meeting his wife at 16...?

Charles planned to have sex with a foreign teen under his tutelage casually then maybe dump her and go back to his country? No, just in the royal tradition courtship would be publicly recognized. Did her family have any objection? Of course he then could go on with his social life. Not an apt comparison.

A Paedophile targets Minors under 10 years of Age.

the age of consent in Thailand is 15.

Tool low in my opinion but please do not brand someone something they are not.

So He had sex with a 16 year old

Inappropriate behaviour for a Teacher but what other  Thai criminal law has he broken

[arick]

Age is 15 knock them up it's fine .  Obviously the parents didn't get money from him

Off topic,

But teaching in the UK is more like being a prison guard IMHO (I used to be a teacher).

Working conditions would be great if no parents or students.
