British Man Arrested for Sexual Assault of 6-Year-Old Thai Stepdaughter

[Scouse123]

Makes for extremely sad reading, and so does constant references to him being British being banded about, as though pedophilia was the exclusive domain of British people, which it certainly is not.

 

If British law enforcement has been in touch with the RTP, the evidence will be pretty solid, they don't leave things like this to chance or possible error.

What's just as bad as a pedophile? A pedophile sympathizer and there are a few in the comments here sadly.

What exactly are you admitting to when you mention 'us Brits' and kiddy fiddling ?...     

 

Please don't tarnish other decent British folk with your noncey ideas or whatever it is you found on the dark web... 

 

The number of Britons with a sexual interest in children may be seven times higher than previously thought, the head of the National Crime Agency has said.

Lynne Owens said the revelation came after investigators scoured through sites for paedophiles on the dark web, finding an estimated 144,000 accounts linked to British people.

The “decent” people who deny and ignore it enable it. That is how dirty Jimmy got away with it and was never prosecuted. 
A disgrace.

Speaking from experience ?

 

 

A lot of us were, especially my generation when kids were not believed.

 

Less likely to happen now when kids speak out, but even these days we have a lot of “decent” people in denial.

Will his name be published, If charged like in UK?

 

This B##stard doesn't deserve anonymity..

"During questioning, Mr. Luke denied all allegations and chose not to provide a statement during the arrest."

 

Too bad Thai police aren't more like USA police and beat a confession out of the suspect if he won't give one in cases of child exploitation when the video evidence is clear.

Will knowing his name change anything? We do know that he is Mr Luke, first or family name not specified.

Just read his name out as they pull the trapdoor lever.

In a shocking turn of events, Thai police arrested a British national, Mr. Luke, accused of sexually assaulting his 6-year-old Thai stepdaughter. The arrest, which took place in a condominium in Pattaya, Chonburi, followed a warrant issued by the Thai Criminal Court on 2nd December 2024.

 

Major General Saruti Kwangsopha, Commander of the Anti-Trafficking in Persons Division, led the operation alongside other senior officers. Mr. Luke faces charges of "rape and sexual abuse of a minor under 13," among other serious offenses.

 

The investigation began after Thai authorities received a tip-off from the UK's National Crime Agency (NCA). The agency uncovered disturbing videos of Mr. Luke abusing the child on social media.

 

Upon reviewing the footage and identifying the location, police discovered that the victim, referred to as Miss A (pseudonym), was the young daughter of Mr. Luke's Thai partner, Miss B (pseudonym). The couple had been together for over two years.

 

When presented with the evidence, Miss B was reportedly horrified and immediately filed a complaint with the police, leading to the issuance of an arrest warrant. Crucial evidence was gathered, resulting in Mr. Luke's capture.

 

During questioning, Mr. Luke denied all allegations and chose not to provide a statement during the arrest. He has since been handed over to prosecutors for further legal proceedings.

 

This case underscores the importance of international cooperation in tackling such crimes and serves as a reminder of the ongoing efforts to protect vulnerable individuals from abuse, reported Thai Rath.

I hope he gets the same punishment when he is incarcerated in a Thai prison for many many years 

[denishuahin]

It warms my heart to think of the fear he is going through now, thinking he will end up in jail with a non-welcoming crowd.

[Sydebolle]

Repeating myself; in case of being guilty, then get rid of pedophiles, rapists and drug dealers with a single bullet. 

Society interests must prevail and you cannot un-rape nor reverse the horrors of a pedophile to a minor! But you can ensure, that this particular individual will never ever be able to do any harm to anyone else in the future; apart from spending millions of whatever-currency. 

Harsh statement, I know, but while you will not be able to rid the planet completely of such creeps you can get drug dealers to eventually reconsider the professional activities while the others will resort to prostitution or face the gallows - definitely a step in the right direction - me thinks!

An inaccurate and terrible insult to pigs, but get your intent. Still the human animal is by far, the worst, most awful and cruel in the animal kingdom.

What a disgusting lowlife. Please UK don't push for extradition and ensure the scum gets dealt with in Thailand. 

I hope the poor girl and her mother get all the help they need.

Depressing story. And what of the child victim? What will happen to her? Can she access the  psychological care and assistance necessary to heal?

Truly a horrible read.

Strange questions, why wouldn't she be able to get the assistance she needs?

Nonces are probably worse off in a UK prison. 

[Neeranam]

 I worked with two nonces, both were Americans, one was called Prowler. I try and have some compassion for them as they were seemingly both abused as kids. Can't find any compassion at the moment for this guy.

You do know that this is Thailand, don't you? Mental health is a neglected and underfunded  health care sector. As of July 2022, Thailand had only registered 845 psychiatrists and 1,037 psychologists, which works out to 1.28 psychiatrists and 1.57 psychologists for every 100,000 people. This is significantly lower than the world's average of 10.15 mental health professionals for every 100,000 people. Of that number, only a small number are trained and specialize in pediatric and adolescent healthcare. One must either be wealthy or be given priority to access a trained mental health professional.

 

Children and adolescents aged 0–18 years in Thailand experience a high burden of poor mental health. One in 7 adolescents aged 10–19 and 1 in 14 children aged 5–9 are estimated to have a mental disorder (including developmental disorder). Suicide is the third leading cause of death of adolescents aged 15–19.1 Risk factors for poor mental health are also prevalent. These include exposure to violence, peer victimization and bullying, and loneliness and social isolation.

2) Strengthening Mental Health and Psychosocial Support systems and services for children and adolescents in the East Asia and Pacific region: Thailand country report 2022

 

Mental health treatment often consists of the dispensing of medication by GPs who do not undertake any psychological counselling or offer psychiatric treatment. A child sexual abuse victim requires the support of a trained mental health counsellor, typically a psychologist. Accessing  this type of a professional is difficult for even those with the money to pay for the treatment. And no, specialized psychological treatment for child sex victims is not fully covered under the universal care plan.

As an Englishman, I get a bit peed off when offenders are described as British, because the true Brit's are Irish, Welsh Scottish and English.

There are People of many different Races and Ethnicities with British passports, and that identity should be pointed out when when an offender's Nationality is published, especially when the offence is against a Child.

Sadly there are are many high profile celebrities who have committed sickening crimes against children.

We only get to know about the ones who are prosecuted.

I remember a program in the UK where some police went after celebrities and brought them to justice. A lot of celebrities were involved in the pedo game. Even Cliff Richard was involved.

Sir Cliff Richard was proved to be NOT involved in any paedo ring, and I think he sued the BBC and Met Police for what they did.

A silly statement. This Luke guy was abusing HIS OWN STEPDAUGHTER. Mr Gadd (Glitter) was shagging anyone.
