Thai businessman rapes woman, leading to attempt suicide

[snoop1130]

 

Investigation Division of the Metropolitan Police Bureau (IDMB) officers arrested a Thai businessman for allegedly raping a woman. The woman is in critical condition due to an attempted suicide after the sexual assault.

 

The 29 year old victim filed a complaint against the businessman, Wachirawit “Joe” Sirichokwanit, at Tung Mahamek Police Station in Bangkok on March 14, accusing him of raping her. She revealed that the sexual assault took place at her home on March 13, and Wachirawit appeared to be drunk.

 

The victim explained that Wachirawit was a well-known Thai businessman who owned a snack brand called Banana Joe and a cannabis shop next to her home. He broke into her home on the night of March 13 and raped her.

 

The victim told police that Wachirawit shouted at her that he would “rape her to death.” She tried to defend herself and fought back until she lost consciousness. When she woke up the next morning, the rapist was still in her bed. She had to pull herself up to go to the police station.

 

While waiting for Tung Mahamek Police Station to investigate her case, the victim tried to commit suicide by jumping from the fourth floor of her home. She did not die in the attempt but suffered serious injuries.

 

IDMB officers intervened in the case to ensure justice for the victim and managed to arrest the businessman today, March 21, at his luxury condominium in the Phloen Chit area of Bangkok.

Wachirawit and his girlfriend argued with police officers and tried to resist arrest before eventually complying with police orders.

 

During questioning, Wachirawit denied raping the victim, claiming the victim was willing to have sex with him.

He said he was having a relationship with the victim, which he concealed from his girlfriend. Claiming to be involved with three women, he asserted that his girlfriend only discovered the truth recently.

 

Metropolitan Police Bureau Commander Teeradate Thammasutee pledged to uphold justice for both individuals involved. Teeradate stated that the police harboured doubts regarding the businessman’s assertion, as it conflicted with the victim’s account and other evidence.

 

Police will continue to collect additional evidence in the case, as the victim remains unable to provide further information due to her serious condition.

here's an idea for you Thailand: legalize sex toys for men, lift the ban on porn and give some of your poor, battered women a break. how many incredulous headlines of rape are we supposed to read before you do something different to change this endemic behavior? your girls and women are constantly bearing the brunt of your violent men. let them have some toys and porn to work out their aggressions on their own

Rape is about control. It's not all about sex but hurting the opposite gender. Reasons are being controlled and abused by a female role model in childhood, taking out that anger on other women later in life. Some have had bad relations with women as adults and again use that anger on other females. No amount of sex toys or porn will stop a predator. They do it to control the person, dominate them.

Should have killed him and pleaded self defense.

Women who have consensual sex don't normally try to jump to their death afterwards.

I read the headline to say that the alleged rapist then made a suicide attempt. A pity that wasn't the case.

And your one-sided opinion may sit well with other countries. But in Thailand rape is used quite often by women who did not get what they wanted after they had the sex. Payment or relationship or perhaps just angry at the man. Proof of rape is not always needed to get someone into trouble for this.

I do not say this is the case in this particular instance. But One never really knows unless there is really proof to see and convict. A young girl and a rich business man hmm... Could be rape or maybe she found out he had another woman also. Let's only hope justice is served and the man becomes known as playing many women or of being a real rapist.

It isn't an opinion but a fact. I didn't say he was guilty or innocent. I'm fully aware of what goes on in this sort of instance.
