The Department of Special Investigation (DSI) forwarded a case involving a well-known university student who administered a covert group sharing explicit child content.

 

The individual circulated the illicit material and advertised it for sale to minors under 18 years of age on the Line platform, with prices ranging from 150 to 500 baht (US$4 to US$14). This information was revealed today.

 

The DSI’s Technology and Information Case Department initiated the proceedings yesterday. The defendant in question had been found in possession of explicit child material, which was then advertised for sale on the Line platform.

 

This case follows an incident on August 14, where the Child Sexual Exploitation Crime Center (CSECC), led by Yotsan Rungsrangamsiri, Deputy Director of the Technology and Information Case Department, raided and arrested a 19 year old Thai male student from a university in Pathum Thani.

He was found to be in possession of a vast amount of explicit child content, no less than 5,000 files, showing children in school uniforms from primary to secondary level, all disseminated on the Line platform, reported KhaoSod.

Glad they caught this groomer now and not in 20 years and umpteen abused groomed kids later.

Cut em off.
