A 17 year old Thai girl accused a spiritual medium in the Isaan province of Buriram of raping her and sexually harassing her friend while performing rituals to wash away bad luck and evil spirits.

 

The teenager, 17 year old Bee, revealed to the public that she and another friend were victims of sexual abuse by a 60 year old spiritual medium, Chatpong Jomkarnnon, also known as Ar Kong. The rape victim’s mother, 36 year old Gai, did not believe her story because she respected Chatpong and believed in his supernatural powers.

 

Thai netizens criticised Gai for being superstitious and pressured her to file a complaint against Chatpong. Due to the pressure, Gai, yesterday, November 14, took her daughter to the Mueang Buriram Police Station, even though she still did not believe her daughter.

 

Gai explained that she respected Chatpong and often visited his compound to attend various ceremonies. She took her daughter there and the spiritual medium told her that her daughter was about to experience an unfortunate event.

 

Gai said Chatpong recommended that her daughter take part in the ceremonies to ward off evil spirits and bad luck and she allowed her daughter to do so. The ceremonies were performed in a pickup truck and she was not with her daughter.

 

Gai revealed that her daughter told her that she had been raped three times in the pickup during the ceremonies. She did not believe her words because Chatpong was not that kind of person. She wanted to see the results of the medical examination. The results later backed her daughter’s claim, showing traces of rape.

Be careful Chatpong.  It's getting dark earlier this time of year.

"she had been raped three times in the pickup during the ceremonies."

If this is true, there's nothing MEDIUM about this "spiritual medium".

He was spot on as well when he said she was about to experience an unfortunate event.

I find it challenging to believe people believe in that crap in the 21st Century. I could understand if you're a Yanomamo or a Sentinalese, but in an industrialized country? 

Took her to a pickup truck, obviously so he couldn't get caught in the act the filthy piece of excrement.

Can't say she wasn't warned.

Same goes for all the religious pantomimes in industrialised countries. They all have their rituals and beliefs, some of which totally contradict those of other religions ie mustn't cut your hair/must have shaven head. Pathetic. 

What are most of these replies??
Are they meant as some sort of joke?

Is rape of a 17-year-old a laughing matter!?
