Thai minibus driver allegedly drugs and rapes 13 year old girl in Bangkok

The family of a teenage girl called on the police to advance their investigation and arrest a minibus driver who allegedly drugged and raped the 13 year old. Channel 3 visited the victim’s house in the Waeng Noi district in the Isaan province of Khon Kaen yesterday, November 5, to interview the teenager’s family about the incident.

 

The victim’s 40 year old father, named A, said that he wanted his daughter to come and stay with him and his wife in Bangkok during the school holiday and booked a minibus for her to travel to the capital on Sunday, October 1.

 

A explained that the minibus was supposed to arrive at their home in the early hours of October 2. However, when his daughter did not arrive as expected, he tried to call her but she did not answer the phone. A thought his daughter must have fallen asleep in the car and called the minibus driver instead.

 

The driver claimed that there was traffic and roadworks on the way and that was the reason for being late. His daughter arrived later at lunchtime. A noticed that she appeared unusually quiet, attributing it to exhaustion from the journey, so he allowed her to rest.

 

A explained that when he had contacted the same driver to take his daughter back to Khon Kaen, the girl was crying and panicking when she met the driver. She still hugged her mother and refused to leave.

 

A said he was not suspicious at the time because he thought the daughter just wanted to stay with him longer. On the return to Khon Kaen, his 16 year old son, the victim’s brother, went with her.

Seems the driver is an opportunist pedophile.

The police should get this sorted ASAP

Why in Thailand do we rarely hear the outcome/punishment on cases like this?

Maybe because the police file the case in the waste paper bin?

The victim’s grandmother said she filed a complaint at Waeng Noi Police Station in Khon Kaen and Bangkok Yai Police Station in Bangkok. However, the officers have not provided any update on the case. Suay reported that the police have not even questioned the victim in the investigation.

This is likely to give the perpetrator time to raise the necessary funds  I bet he has been questioned unofficially.

You mean cases like this that didn't actually happen?

Yes, the person who actually raped her is.  And that's not the driver.

Let's hope that all those here who condemned the innocent driver, without waiting for the investigation that cleared him and subsequently put the suspicion on the family are suitably ashamed.
