This is the case that really ditched Prinn.  He assaulted this lady when she was a minor actress without big connection but later she married Nat with a net worth many multiples of Prinn and family who went all out to get his wife's rapist.  He almost fell out with the Democrat Party and changed sides. Anna coming out publicly inspired many other victims and Nat no doubt contributed unlimited legal fees to get them to file charges.

What is it with these democrats? Yesterday one got 9 years and now this creep gets 4. When is that blackyard Abhisit going to get his comeuppance for avoiding the draft?

[DTL2014]

Abhisit did not dodge the draft -.Educated at some of the UK's finest establishments it was decided that Abhisit could serve his national service by teaching at the military school.Not exactly a dodge.This way he could share the benefit of his privileged education(some of which is a bit like boot camp btw)  with his compatriots.A noble endeavour if you think about it.And by the way if you look at how much <deleted> has been thrown his way - none of it stuck .Because the man has integrity,means well and the usual vices of office totally Absent.i think he served his country well and continues to do so but maybe is too ahead of his time.something to look forward to in a leader in the future.Perhaps he should join MFP and roll his sleeves up and get back stuck in.Definitely a force for good coupled with good intentions ..plus he's got experience on the world stage.Nowt wrong with Mark - i guarantee

The man has integrity? Really?

 

He accepted to be the puppet of the yellow green network and consistently followed instructions given to him (ex. make sure Prayut would be nominated as army chief in September 2010, at all costs).

 

He also participated in the orchestration leading to the 2014 coup. He disclosed a sense of integrity only after he sourly found out that the Junta would directly govern, without any key role for him.

That's right he did accept the top job - and he was the best man for the job at the time.After the continual fraudulent actions of the red shirt govt and bought elections from leaders involved in enriching themselves on land deals.Who then held the country to ransom with their barricades in centre of bangkok.you supported that did you? because thats the main reason a military intervention had to happen.so the red shirts are just as responsible for propelling him up to the top job btw. and subsequent military party.no fake g2g contracts during his tenure..
