Student Narrowly Escapes Sexual Assault Outside Residence

[webfact]

 

A young female student narrowly avoided an attempted sexual assault near her residence yesterday afternoon. Her quick thinking and cries for help thwarted the assailant, who remains at large.

 

The incident took place in Samut Prakan, on Bang Sao Thong Road, and was captured by CCTV cameras. The video footage showed A, a third-year secondary school student, returning home around 4 pm.

 

As she walked toward her apartment building after taking a motorcycle taxi from school, an unknown man followed her.

 

The footage reveals the suspect, riding a motorcycle, following A into the alley leading to her building. He then parked at the front and quickly ascended the stairs to her floor.

 

A’s typical after-school routine involves returning home alone until her parents finish work. Unaware of being followed, she unlocked her door when the attacker made his move. He attempted to push her inside and groped her, demanding entry.

 

However, A bravely resisted and screamed for help, causing the assailant to flee. Her courageous actions helped her narrowly escape the sexual assault attempt.

 

A's father, at work during the incident, rushed home upon receiving a frantic call from his daughter. Upon arrival, he found her deeply shaken but uninjured, surrounded by supportive neighbours.

 

They promptly filed a complaint at Bang Sao Thong Police Station. Authorities are now actively searching for the suspect, described as a significant threat to public safety.

 

The police are using CCTV footage, which provides clear images of the attacker’s face, a distinctive tattoo on his left arm, and the red motorcycle with a yellow license plate he was riding.

 

A’s father has urged for swift police action to prevent further danger to the community. The investigation continues as police work to gather more evidence and apprehend the suspect.

Seems to me like that guy left a clear postcard of himself. That guy is toast! I suggest they give the girls father 5 minutes with the guy in a closed room with no cameras.

A suspect accused of attempting to assault a 15 year old student in Samut Prakan has been arrested.

 

The incident involved the suspect allegedly following the girl from school on his motorcycle to her residence, where he attempted to commit the assault. The girl’s quick thinking and cries for help thwarted the attack.

 

Police received a tip-off yesterday evening from a resident about a suspicious individual hiding near a market wall in the Eua Athorn housing project in Bang Sao Thong, Samut Prakan.

 

Upon investigation, officers found 32 year old Worawat from Khlong Dan, Bang Bo, Samut Prakan, asleep at the specified location. The suspect was apprehended and taken to his brother’s house in Lat Wai to retrieve the clothes and shoes worn during the incident. He was then brought back to Bang Sao Thong police station for questioning.

Worawat confessed to the crime, stating that he encountered the victim by chance while riding his motorcycle. He denied following her from school, claiming he was on his way home to prepare for his night shift.

 

Overcome by a sudden sexual urge upon seeing the victim, he followed her to her room with the intent to assault her. The attack was not premeditated, he insisted. He fled the scene when the victim screamed for help. Worawat then returned home, took a shower, and went to work as usual. After seeing news reports about the incident, he went into hiding near the market until his arrest.

The police are preparing to charge Worawat with indecent acts with a minor under 15 years old and trespassing. Additional charges of child abduction and attempted rape of a minor, are pending further investigation and victim interviews. Worawat will be taken to the Samut Prakan Provincial Court tomorrow for detention, with the police opposing bail. The suspect refused to participate in a crime reenactment due to safety concerns.

 

During the arrest, two officers sustained injuries from a struggle with the suspect. Both officers have received medical treatment at the hospital, reported KhaoSod.

 

ORIGINAL STORY: Teen girl narrowly escapes attempted rape in Samut Prakarn (video)

Police are searching for a Thai man who attempted to rape a 15 year old girl in her apartment at the Mueang Mai Bang Phli National Housing Authority in Samut Prakarn province near Bangkok. The suspect was reportedly released from prison in February.

 

The 15 year old victim, dressed in a high school uniform, screamed for help and managed to escape the attempted rape with the help of her neighbours. The suspect successfully fled the scene on his motorcycle but officers from Bang Sao Thong Police Station are hunting for him.

 

In an interview with ThaiRath, the victim said the incident happened at around 4am yesterday, June 20. She arrived at her room after school and had to stay alone until her parents returned from work.

 

As she was about to enter the room, the suspect approached her from behind, grabbed her breasts and pushed her into the room. The man kept asking her to have sex with him and she refused.

 

She asked the man to leave and threatened to call the police but he was unafraid. He kept asking her to have sex, saying “Can I? Can I do it?”

 

The teenage girl saw the man touching his private parts as if he was going to masturbate or take his penis out, so she pushed him out of the room and started screaming for help. The man then fled the flat on his motorbike.

 

The girl added that she had never seen the man before in the community and suspected that he had been following her since she was at school.

 

The victim’s father told the media that he left work early after hearing about the incident. When he arrived, he found his daughter in the care of neighbours, crying.

 

The father checked the CCTV in the flat and the surrounding area, which clearly showed the suspect’s identity. He then filed a complaint against the man at Bang Sao Thong Police Station, along with the CCTV evidence.

 

Police reported that they successfully identified the suspect as a 30 year old former prisoner who was arrested many times before on drug cases. He had just been released from jail in February this year before committing the crime again.

 

Officers assured that they would be able to arrest the suspect within a few days.

Haha returning from school at 4am? Wonder where she really was. 

I do not see how this was attempted rape... Maybe breaking and entering. Maybe trying to coerce a minor into sexual acts. But if he never touched the girl as reported here. how is it attempted rape? 

With this type of profiling it means we can be arrested if we scratch our balls and tell a girl we would like sex together. True I am over reaching here but seriously, it could happen if that is all that is needed for an attempted rape charge.

He's not very good at the gentle art of seduction but at least he asked, unsurprisingly she said no. No means no but he knows that now.

The outcome of his intentions was to sexually assault or rape the girl...

the fact that it was not committed makes it attempted rape.

A little hard to prove if he has a good lawyer and does not admit to this..

Your use of that phrase very oddly suggests that you would not approve of such an activity.

You're saying that your daughter reported exactly the same thing, i.e. the attempted sexual assault of another girl and forced entry to her accommodation, and the school and the police ignored it?  Really?

What is your problem? Unhappy and grumpy?

When did I say it was case closed? I quoted from the news, because they mentioned a lot more than the person I quoted was posting.

Is that a big problem for you, or do you think you can get over it?

And again you go personal on the poster instead of commenting on the news or making a regular discussion. Are you stalking me, for any reason? Have I done something bad to you?

As I already know out of another stupid reply you did to me, that you know they have already found him. Then I was not so wrong, I guess. Or what do you think, Mr Grumpy?

He followed her to her room, groped her and tried to force her into the room.  He only stopped because she screamed.  You don't have to be successful in a crime to be charged with attempting it.

 

Also, @thesetat2013, how would coercing a minor into sexual acts be different to rape anyway?

One would think some form of physical contact would be needed to be construed as attempted rape or rape. I did not read about his groping her. If so then one would think the police did not need to investigate further and charge him accordingly.

What a stupid comment.

 

If the cops actually arranged that you would be the first to scream about the police not following the law / Thailand the lawless country where the cops make up the rules as they go. 

 

If the action you propose was applied to someone in your family would you be happy? I hope not.

 

Now go right ahead and tell me I don't have a sense of humour.
