An arrest warrant has been issued for a 67-year-old resident of Phatthalung, known as Charoen or Muang, for alleged child molestation. The case involves two 12-year-old girls who were reportedly assaulted while playing in the Ko Nangkham sub-district. 

 

The warrant was issued following pressure from the victims' mothers and the media as the initial investigation, launched in December 2022, failed to lead to any arrest. The accused avoided immediate arrest and sought refuge in a different province, but has communicated plans to surrender.

 

Allegations also surfaced about procedural irregularities with the initial investigation, which was not reported to higher officials, causing unjust delays. This led to the transfer of the original investigator and the assignment of a new officer to the case. 

 

The local Police Commander criticised the delay and has formed a committee to investigate the conduct of the initial investigator. Meanwhile, welfare officials have been assigned to support the victims emotionally and guide them through the legal process.

 

With the new development and the police's commitment to serve justice, the case is now progressing, while the community awaits the suspect’s surrender and the investigation's outcome.

Wait for it... here come the victim blamers who contend that these girls knew what they were doing and it's their fault that they got assaulted because he didn't put them in handcuffs or lock them up.

For the confused poster... try to stay current

Our wonderful RTP strikes yet Again. Seems like they condone any sex crime committed against females.
