Thailand –A British teacher who allegedly took away a minor from her guardians and molested her in Phuket many years ago was arrested in Chiang Mai.


The Immigration Bureau told the Phuket Express that this week they arrested Mr. Taylor (alias), 38, a British national in the Mueang Chiang Mai district. The arrest warrant had been issued by the Phuket Provincial Court last month on January 12th.

 

He is being accused of taking away a minor aged more than 15-years-old but not more than 18-years-old from her parents or guardian without proper reason for obscene purposes. He was taken back to the Chalong Police Station in Phuket.

 

The arrest came after a period in 2014 -2015 when Mr. Taylor, who lived in Thailand, worked as a teacher at an international school in Phuket.

Seems to me he didn't expect to be prosecuted after 10 years. The young woman will be now 26 years old. 

Strange story

Doesn't actually say it occurred 10 years ago - 'many years ago'.

An incident on two occasions which happened nearly 10 years ago in Thailand. The accused has continued to live in Thailand, has been reporting to Immigration every 90 days for 10 years so not difficult to find him on a computer. I am not sure why it takes 4 officers to arrest him or hold a press conference..

Hardly breaking news.

The incident happened in Phuket. He has been doing his 90 day reports in Chiang Mai. Obviously the police records from Phuket ten years ago were held as paper files.  

I would guess that Phuket's police records have now been digitised into a central RTP database.

So after the first time after that, when he filed his 90 day report in Chiang Mai, it flagged up the Phuket incident. 

If, as it appears, all Thailand's police records are being scanned into a central database, we can expect a lot more articles like this in future.

Should there be a trial first? And then if there is a guilty verdict, mete out your punishment?

 

it’s sort of the process many civilized countries follow. 

And there's going to be a trial, no one posting here on AN is the judge or on the jury.

The arrest came after a period in 2014 -2015 when Mr. Taylor, who lived in Thailand, worked as a teacher at an international school in Phuket. He allegedly took a 16 year old female foreign student at the same school for obscene purposes to a house in Chalong twice on December 6th, 2014 and in April 2015 at night time.

 

So he continued to live in Thailand and they only just arrested him?

Or he was out of Thailand and just returned??

There are some on this forum who believe it is the girl's fault for being so sexy at a young age... they believe that she knows what she is doing 

not an excuse, still wrong and illegal, what would you think if it was your daughter?

It must have been very hard for the police to locate, find and arrest this guy during around 10 years time, as he according to the link and real article has been living in Chiang Mai all the time.

You will find stupid people who like to blame others everywhere. This forum is no exception

10 years have passed. He has been arrested before and nothing happened again. So assumably this guy had a good scare and learned a lesson. Why make a big deal about this again? She was 16 already ...

I read that and did not take it as conclusive proof that the incident occurred during those years. It is implied that it occurred while he was teaching in those years, and I guess that is what is meant to be the case, but the wording was ambiguous.

How much more unambiguous would you like it?...

"He allegedly took a 16 year old female foreign student at the same school for obscene purposes to a house in Chalong twice on December 6th, 2014 and in April 2015 at night time".
