American wanted for sharing explicit videos and abusing Thai women

[webfact]

 

Three Thai women reached out to the Pavena Foundation for Children and Women after a perverted American man with anger issues they connected with on a dating app shared explicit pornographic videos, blackmailed, physically assaulted them and stole their valuables.

Foundation founder Paveena Hongsakul accompanied one of the three victims to the Royal Thai Police (RTP) Sports Club to file a complaint against the American, identified as Tom, with RTP Deputy Commissioner Surachate “Big Joke” Hakparn.

 

Paveena reported that the 33 year old American told the Thai women on the dating app that he was a former US soldier. He wanted to start a family with them and take them to the US. He chose Thai women with secure careers and good profiles.

After meeting the women, he would secretly record their sexual activities. If the women caught him and broke up with him, he would then physically abuse them, threaten them or steal their valuables. Tom allegedly shared the victims’ sex videos with their colleagues, friends and family, causing one of the victims to suffer from panic disorder.

Country bashing and the racist remark... 

If Big Joke is on the case the guy should fly out soon... 

Preferably reparations to the victims followed by a stint in the Bangkok Hilton and then deportation and blacklisted for life!

These types of racist and nation basing comments make reading the comments on this site useless and offensive. 

Do these commenters ever consider 

“Is my comment necessary”

“Is my comment helpful” 

“Is my comment true”

It seems doubtful they consider anything at all before spewing their hateful and hurtful vitriol 

 

[mstevens]

This guy Tom sounds like a real sack of <deleted>!

[swm59nj]

So he shared the videos with their friends, colleagues, and family?  I guess these women gave him all the information how to contact these other people.  Very odd . 
And for the American bashers, including other western countries, on here.  Maybe they should look at themselves.  Because in reality they are in Thailand because they didn’t have much going for them in their own countries.  Both socially and economically inept.

The trouble is, when you combine alcohol and boredom, these comments are the result.

A friend of mine runs a very successful website about Thailand, and refuses to allow any comments. His only feedback is via emails, some of which he publishes. It's very clear why, isn't it.

I have a very low threshold for idiots, and sadly this site appears to attract many. The number I've blocked has reached double figures, i think. Before social media we had no idea such people were out there, but now they've been exposed and there are so many that it's quite scary.

Christ what a bunch of  lily livered  offended folk now inhabit Thai Visa........ oh  my  feelings  have been hurt booo hoooo.

[fondue zoo]

So, probably not a soldier, just a guy making low quality porno for upload to the bazillion "Asian" sites, all without the consent of the other party.

Lowlife, yes. Prosecute, yes.  Sure, he won't be the only one but this dumb<deleted> was the one that got caught today.

That is your opinion and, if you are in Thailand, could include yourself. If it doesn't, how is that you judge others to be inferior to your ignorant self? If you are not in Thailand, how are you aware of the demographics of expats who are here?

[ezzra]

Hopefully one of them  hot headed Thai men we read about them often will somehow get a hold of this guy and set him 

straight, i know i would had any of the abused women were related to me...

Along with too much alcohol to the wrong type, boredom, mental illness, prejudice against a people who are all nationalities, which is plain ignorant, and narcissism, thinking they are somehow superior, when they are actually inferior thinking because of low self esteem.

You should probably read the short article before spouting:  "He chose Thai women with secure careers and good profiles."

What more secure career could you have working as a prostitute? . Of course the women are going to promote themselves with a glamorous profile on the dating site

[Nicholas Paul KNIGHT]

Oh dear , many concerned about being RACIST, how pathetic, missing out the simple fact this man a mere 30 something thinks it is normal to act this way and you are worried abou8t racist comments.

Find him, emasculate him ( literally ) _ and leave him alone. 

 

[VinnieK]

Meanwhile 1000s of prostitutes (or not) take farangs to the cleaners by embezzling their money/properties.

I wonder what the penalties are for this.

Also..I never believe wholesale what Thai women say.

Lying is the national sport here.

I wonder what is Tom's side if the story.

Very deserving of a spell in the monkey house followed by deportation and banning.

[Woof999]

I wonder which crime will get him the harshest punishment... revenge porn, theft or taking a job reserved for Thais?

[ChipButty]

It didnt take them long to get their kit off, I'd like to hear his side of the story,

[Mywayboy]

Almost all senior citizen expansion in Thailand are either EX? Marines,SAS, CIA or some other reinvented self.

I know one very well states he is Ex CIA every story is identical to Jason Bourne Movie 555.

Just let him ramble gets hit Jollies I suppose. 

[Hanuman2547]

Looks like this guy needs to be brought before the Thai justice system where he can get a trial and then be fined and deported.  Most likely blacklisted for a very long time.  Hopefully the US authorities will pick up on this case and prosecute him for crimes committed overseas.

Good thoughts.

 

It seems a lot of posts are "attempts at humor".

Problem is that attempts at humor and humor are not the same thing.

Did you read the headline but were too lazy to read the article? Or were you not able to understand what you read but commented anyway? On what do you base your accusation that the women were prostitutes?

Advertising themselves on dating site + having sex immediately with the guys they meet = hookers IMHO.

Plenty of women with respectable jobs hooking on the side in Thailand.

[Cabradelmar]

Sounds like 80% of ALL men in Thailand (Thais included)... Angry and perverted.

Hookers demand payment, don't they? Any evidence, any statement anywhere, that these victims were paid for sexual services? You clearly are not aware that what you describe is hardly unusual these days, and perhaps never was. We just didn't hear about it through social media.

 

But of course, you are entitled to your humble opinion.

Yes, you are right.

But does it ever happen to you that a friend tells you a story of someone with nationality X and you think to yourself: Sure, that is typical for X. Maybe you even told that to the friend you told the story.

 

And comments like that are normal on Asian Now, many of us enjoy them and laugh about them.

The difference is that mostly we do this in the Pub in this forum and not in the news section.

 

But all in all, does it really matter if some people in this forum, including me, sometimes bash people from specific nations?

Is anybody really offended? Does anybody think something like: Good that I know it was an American, now I will stay away from people from nation? I don't think it has any effect whatsoever.

Maybe some of us laugh and some of us think "another bashing" and in a second we forget about it.

I think he was a soldier, as there are so many American soldiers out there with PTSD, who have anger and violent issues and that is one part of the full story I believe.
