A Bangkok court on Saturday granted bail to a senior police officer after he was brought before it charged with being involved in the rape of his wife together with third parties at a resort in 2021.

Police forensic commander is accused of organising third parties to have sexual relations with his wife and using threats or intimidation to have her comply with his wishes, according to the complaint and criminal charges filed against him.

A senior police officer serving with the Forensics Division in Samut Prakan was granted bail before a Bangkok court on Saturday, charged with three counts linked to the alleged rape of his wife by third parties at a resort in the capital in 2021. Before surrendering to investigators at Chokchai Police Station in Samut Prakan on Saturday, his lawyer told reporters that his client completely denied the charges. He described the case as linked to an act of intimidation against the policeman. He suggested that anything that actually happened two years ago was on a consensual basis.

Nice relationship .

If there would not have been ' threats and intimidation ' , you could call it a " swinger party " .

 

I hope his wife has a really safe house, with cctv and armed guards.

He should be tagged.

Yes, the rape accusation of which he is innocent, at this stage.  Why shouldn't he get bail?

This was in the news last week. She reported this to 6 different police stations and they all refused to pursue it as it was seen as a "domestic issue".  if that's not special treatment not sure what is.

Well, it was all claimed to be consensual and the wife's allegation was an attempt at intimidation and it happened two years ago so maybe the police reaction was not unreasonable.  He has been charged, you know?  

Curious that the OP article here goes on and on with the unsubstantiated, uncorroborated claims of the attorney representing the accused officer.

 

And for some reason, not a peep from anyone representing the officer's wife / accuser.

 

And then the BiB do their usual routine, by claiming ahead of the hearing that they'll object to bail being granted, and then at the hearing, according to the OP, they suddenly don't object anymore.

it was only claimed by him to be consensual. Would you expect him to say anything else? Being harrassed and threaten by your high ranking police husband so you cant get help and then reporting it to 6 different police stations and have all of them deny even to look into it as it was considered "domestic issues" is more than enough to show the bias. The only reason charges were brought was the wife went to the media. if you cant see that then your blind. I guess the next step is to blame the victim right?

The wife went to the media last week with a lawyer and a support group and laid it all out. That is the only reason he was charged with anything.
