A Thai man has been accused of sexually assaulting a 17-year-old girl in Buriram, Isaan province. While he admitted to using drugs and intending to rob the girl's house, he denied the allegations of rape, despite the discovery of semen at the house.

 

The teenage victim reported the incident to a deputy community leader early today, July 11. The incident was then reported to officers at Bandan Police Station. The girl, who lives with her 12-year-old brother, explained that she woke up early in the day to find a stranger lying next to her.

 

She found the man without trousers or underwear. Her own trousers were also unzipped and she discovered semen on her body and her room. However, she could not recall if she had been sexually assaulted.

 

She managed to cautiously persuade the man to leave, promising to not disclose the incident. As soon as he left, she immediately sought help from the local deputy community leader.

 

 

Police arrested the 27-year-old suspect, identified only as Four, while he was fishing near Bandan Temple that same day. Four, originally from Prachin Buri province, claimed he was in the area to meet his wife, who was currently working in Japan.

 

Four refuted the sexual assault allegations, insisting he only intended to rob the house. He mentioned seeing a separate individual enter her house through an open window before he arrived. According to Four, he also entered the house and encountered the girl but did not touch her.

 

Currently, Four has been charged with trespassing and theft. However, if the investigation confirms evidence of sexual assault, police will press additional charges against him.
