A disturbing incident has emerged from a school in Kanchanaburi province, where six schoolboys allegedly raped and blackmailed two 13-year-old girls in the school’s athlete dormitory. Both the school and police are now deeply involved in the investigation.

 

The father of one of the victims, seeking justice for his daughter, reported that the assault occurred in the afternoon of August 23. The young girls were tricked into meeting the boys at the dormitory. The attackers recorded their reprehensible acts, using the footage to blackmail the victims, threatening to release it.

 

Having learned about the assault from his daughter on August 24, the father wasted no time contacting the police and sharing the ordeal with the non-profit organisation Saimai Survive. This prompted swift action from law enforcement.

Ekkephop Leuangprasert, founder of Saimai Survive, has been closely monitoring the situation. The police revealed the gang involved boys as young as 11 and as old as 15. Specialists and officers are set to question the accused.

 

Interestingly, the school's football coach provided a controversial defence of the boys, claiming that CCTV footage showed the girls entering the dormitory willingly. He argued that no force or threats were visible and pointed out that other students in the dormitory reported no commotion during the alleged time of the assault.

 

Despite these claims, the school authorities are taking the allegations seriously. The Kanchanaburi Provincial Educational Service Office has established a special committee to investigate. The investigation is expected to conclude within a week. In the interim, the school director has been temporarily transferred, and the dormitory may be removed.

 

The affected girls have been granted three days off from school, and psychological support is being arranged. The case has sparked widespread concern, highlighting the urgent need for strong protective measures for students within educational institutions.

If we change Interestingly to Stupidly, it will be more correct. Has this dumb <deleted> considered that the girls might not have thought they would be sexually abused and raped?

DISCLAIMER: This is a terrible situation for all involved and sh*tty reflection on the world we live in today.

But bear in mind that the boys were aged 11-15, meaning that they have a similar mental age / maturity as the victims. Did any of them really know what was planned or about to happen?

I am NOT for one second condoning this, but kids have done stuff like this since the beginning of ciivilization.

This is very different from adolescent or adult males doing it.

Let's also not forget that women around the world appear to have the right to say 'ok,' and then half way through an act change their minds and all of a sudden it becomes rape. And I would say that SOME women don't verbally change their minds until after the event, when it suits them.

All I'm saying is that the facts need to be taken into account before the lynch mobs come out with pitchforks.

I would not call this horror but evidence of lack of supervision and sexual education...

Hope its remit could include investigating what sort of sex education could reduce the risk of other boys doing such a heinous act in the future.  Learning from international experts/experience.  I cannot see anything in the report that would lead me to think the girls did anything wrong or risky whatsoever.

I can't see how that explains recording the act, and subsequent blackmail.

Low life <deleted> filmed  own crime to intimidate the victim.

Now it works against them.

It serves them right.

I would rather expect Lynch Mobs's instant justice instead of the too-soft penalty for those thugs taking advantage of the Juvenile Laws.

Rape victims often suffer Life-Long Trauma.

It is a well-known fact.

The aggressors should certainly suffer more.

No victim blaming at all.

How could anyone 'blame' a couple of 13 year old girls? I didn't say or do that.

If you took a girl on a date and things happened and then she decided that she was raped by YOU, when there's more to it than that, would YOU welcome the lynch mob before fact finding?

 

No need to answer.

What makes this heinous is the recording and blackmailing after the fact. Boys taking advantage of girls since the beginning of civilization as you put does not lessen, mitigate, or justify their actions. If this was my child I would be pushing for the severest penalty that could be leveed just for the recording and blackmail part

since the boys video'd and tried to blackmail the girls, sounds more like a planned crime than just having a romp!  The males usually get away with it (i.e. India, Muslim countries, etc) while the females are sometimes "branded" for life even if they get over it mentally which I guess many do not.  I have two daughters so am very opinionated on this school crimes bit which we see often and not only in this country.

In my early teens, I witnessed the abuse of a teenage girl that, similar to this sexual assault, would be considered reprehensible. After my prepubescent excitement passed, I considered what I had seen as pretty shocking and made sure to avoid any similar situations, including hanging about with the 'gang' of schoolmates that actively participated in the assault. Yes, the girl was considered precocious, well-developed for her age and 'easy'. I think the popular phraseology would have been "She was gagging for it."

 

The thing is, as reprehensible as such an assault is viewed now, it was just as reprehensible back then. However, when similar assaults from the 60's or 70's come to light, there's this idiotic apologists excuse that that was back then when things were 'different' in the age of free love, or it's immature youth-on-youth 'exploring' and nobody really got hurt did they?

 

Some things should not be judged or viewed through the distorted prism of what was normal or acceptable back then and this is one of them. The only differences between a gang of teenage boys violating a teenage girl and grown men doing it to grown women is the age of the perpetrators, and being caught. Funny how the age of the victim is somehow irrelevant.

In this case...  I do agree, you are not blaming the 13 year old girls, but you seem to be trying to 'absolve' the 10-15 year old boys.

 

Any boy older than 10 years old knows its wrong to 'touch' anyone in the 'private-zone' (or whatever its being called)...   

 

.. If a child does not know this, its poor guardianship, poor parenting etc...  nevertheless, I find it hard to believe any child does not know this is wrong... and then filming it and blackmailing the girls.

Some spectacular 'whatifery' to try and justify your position of attempting to defend boys who are 'accused' of raping, recording and blackmailing two 13 year olds. 

 

Are you shifting the goal posts to try and score a win from your heinous defence of rapists ?

(the boys videoed the act).

 

 

OR... are you suggesting - we should not pass any comment, because there has been no legal judgement (as yet)... and we should only wait for the outcome - thus making a discussion forum, somewhat moot ?

What a load of drivel. Kids should know it is not OK to rape.

Consent from an 11 year old? Go to a doctor.

I am absolutely disgusted by some of the responses on here to this crime and perhaps some of you need to take a very close look at yourselves and your "Gary Glitter" nonce stances. Unbelievable.

Sad and unsurprising.  

 

I might have ideas on relevant sex education for boys on what is totally and utterly unacceptable, which might cause a few boys to pause before doing something they must not.  

 

But I have absolutely no idea on how to change the culture of an entire country.  As with companies the culture comes from the top.  If a CEO is a bully, then bullying is okay further down the org.  If lawlessness, e.g. corruption, is prevalent in a country's elite, then lawlessness is allowed in the masses who wield a bit of power.  So I guess the potential fix starts at the top?

Only way to stop corruption, trafficking, and lawlessness is enforcing the laws and punishing with extreme prejudice. Lower the age of responsibility and punishment that fits the crime.
