snoop1130 Posted November 8, 2023 Share Posted November 8, 2023 A 21 year old Saraburi soldier was apprehended by the authorities yesterday for kidnapping and sexually assaulting a 12 year old schoolgirl. Chaiyarat (surname withheld) first came into contact with the victim via Facebook before luring her to a friend’s house where the attack took place. The incident, which occurred earlier this year, was brought to the attention of the authorities by the victim’s mother. Chaiyarat, who was serving in one of the army camps in Saraburi province, had fled his post. He was eventually tracked down and arrested at a worker’s accommodation in Sao Hai district, Saraburi. The military command conducted the operation that led to his arrest. The warrant for his arrest was issued by the Military Court Region 23 on April 24, after evidence from witnesses had been gathered. The incident came to light in January when the mother of the young girl, referred to as A, reported her daughter missing. She was supposed to pick up the 12 year old from school on January 27, but the girl was nowhere to be found. After failed attempts to contact her daughter, the mother learnt from A’s friends that she had left with the Saraburi soldier.

Popular Post HappyExpat57 Posted November 9, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted November 9, 2023 NOT defending anything here at all. I'm just curious how they can call this a kidnapping if she went of her own volition with the soldier. 4 2 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If they can charge him with kidnapping just because she's 12, how about charging him for jaywalking with a minor for heaven's sake? I hope, if he's guilty, they throw the book at him. As we live in such a litigious world, kidnapping doesn't seem a correct charge. One more time: NOT defending anything here at all. 1 2 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why they do $#!t like this, I don't know, in a country with as many whores per capita than anywhere in Asia, there is no need to assault children! 7 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Classic Ray Posted November 9, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted November 9, 2023 If she was taken away with the intent to sexually assault her, kidnapping is a correct charge. A child of that age is deemed not capable of consent, at least in UK law. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grusa Posted November 9, 2023 Share Posted November 9, 2023 The perp looks more like 12 than 21, if that's him with the blurry face. Can anyone that undernourished be a serving soldier? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
seajohn Posted November 9, 2023 Share Posted November 9, 2023 I hate to say it, but after reading the full story (from which this article is a scanty synopsis), it seems a possible interpretation could be something like the following: Underage girl meets 18 year old guy. She agrees to go party with him after school. Does so, and does so all night. Comes home next morning, mother is angry, so she makes an excuse about being "led" to a friend's place and "assaulted" all night. Her mother then, either because her daughter's acting skills are terrific or because she wants to believe her in order to save her own sense of pride, or even because she understands what I am going to write in the next paragraph, goes and makes the report. If there were another kind of evidence, such as bruises, I did not find it mentioned in the article. Now, I do not know the truth. I am simply offering a possible interpretation based on what I read. That said, we understand here that despite how conniving and duplicitous the girl could possibly be, a 12 year old is not considered able to consent to sexual activity. Consequently, the young man should not have gotten involved with her no matter how cool she talked and wanted to be, or what she agreed to, promised, or perhaps later lied about. You cannot act upon a child's words in these matters no matter how worldly they may pretend to be. This is why slang terms such as "jail bait" emerged. Lesson learned for him, I guess, if he can learn. Who knows what punishment he will really get. From what I've seen in the news, it could depend on nothing more than the social standing of the mother vs his family, the personal opinion of the officer, how much money can be paid, or any other reason outside the ethical and healthy basis for consent law. And even were he sent to jail for a time, it doesn't mean he has the capacity to learn. People rationalize anything about their self gratification; adolescent boys even more so. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
