A 25-year-old Thai tattoo artist, identified as Wasin, was apprehended by local police in Phuket, Thailand, yesterday over a rape case filed last year. The crime had left the 13-year-old victim suffering severe genital injuries that resulted in the removal of her womb.

 

Officers detained Wasin on April 25th in his rented room in Soi Phoe Gui, On Mae Luan Road, on the same day as his 25th birthday. Proceeding from the rape case lodged at Thakham Police Station a year ago, the young girl reported to police that Wasin befriended her on Facebook and offered to tattoo her for just 400 baht. She believed him to be sincere as he had over 7,000 followers on his Facebook page.

 

After her arrival at Wasin's studio in the Rama II neighborhood in Bangkok, he closed the studio under the pretense of focusing on her tattoo. He subsequently lured her to the second floor, where he raped her repeatedly.

 

The girl stayed silent about the assault. One month later, she was found to have a vaginal infection that had spread to her uterus. The discovery was only made when severe abdominal pains led to her hospitalization, prompting the family to inform the police. She underwent immediate surgery to remove her uterus and subsequently filed a police complaint after a three-week treatment period.

 

Thakham Police Station initially summoned Wasin for an inquiry. However, he did not comply and instead fled to Phuket. The case's jurisdiction was then moved to the Investigation Division of the Metropolitan Police Bureau (IDMB). His capture was made possible by police tracking him down through his boasting about his amulets and stories to locals.

 

Upon questioning, Wasin denied the rape allegations, claiming to be in love with the girl and having prior sexual encounters with her. He confessed to having sex with over 100 women, mostly unprotected, asserting that he was not a womanizer but was simply in search of his "soul mate." He also admitted contracting sexually transmitted diseases in the past, insinuating that the girl's medical condition might not have been related to him.

 

The accused revealed a prior charge for sexually assaulting a 17-year-old minor. He had settled by paying 70,000 baht to the victim's family. He disclosed that he went into hiding in Phuket because of the allure of high income as a tattoo artist and the anonymity afforded by the influx of tourists.

 

Wasin now faces three criminal charges: raping a minor of 15 years or less, punishable by life imprisonment; abduction of a minor from parental or guardian custody, which could result in two to 10 years imprisonment plus fines; and luring someone for lascivious activities using deceit or force, carrying a possible sentence of one to 10 years imprisonment and additional fines.

Exactly!

 

Anyway, with the charges levied against him now, it will be long jail time and rightly so.

 

Dirty animal.

He should get a fair old sentence for that little lot.

I'd be all for shooting this serial offender's kneecaps first, so he can regret for the rest of his life what he did.

In the USA a 13year old is too mature to make a life changing decision to have a tattoo done without the parents permission. So, i am curious why Thailand does not have laws for this also here to protect children from themselves by making laws for these types of things. This poor girl can never make a baby and from the sound of it she may even scare off any prospective man after seeing the damage done inside her if it is still visible when she matures.
