Yes,  there is virtually no follow-up to a large majority of these stories.  Child molesters, rapists, murders, etc.

Is it all public record?  It would be helpful if there was an investigative reporter who could access 

status/disposition/sentencing and publish the information.

This is why you dont hear anymore.

Because it has been "sorted". Thai style.

They have money so compenstated the victim adequedetly/ paid off the cops.

Nothing to report.

Pattaya...this is the Samui forum.

Nobody heard about Olaf.

 

What happened to the three locals that killed a German man nine years ago.

Nothing...

 

Look at what happened to Kevin all those years ago....not even a hint of a prosecution.

Not sure if accurate but I remember reading sometime ago on the predecessor forum that often the results of criminal court cases are not released to the public.  No doubt a good reason for that (ahem)

Public record - Probably but getting access may be difficult, don't believe that Thailand has a "Freedom of Information" Act.

If a reporter did get access to the information and printed it, he could probably be sued for Deformation under the Lesse Majest laws for impugning somebody's character.

Nothing to do with public record, FoI, LM or defamation.

 

It's just another facet of Thai society's innate sloth and indolence.
