A woman found herself in an unknown room after taking a taxi ride home, where the driver allegedly attempted to assault her. The incident occurred on January 26, when the woman, who had been drinking with friends in the Ratchaprasong area, took a Toyota taxi to return to her condominium.

 

Waking up in an unfamiliar room with the driver, the 42 year old woman realised he had removed her clothes and was attempting to assault her. She resisted and cried out for help, prompting the driver to flee.

 

Police Lieutenant General Siam Boonsom, Commissioner of the Metropolitan Police Bureau, has tasked Police Colonel Monchai Arunsongsangdee, Superintendent of Taling Chan Police Station, with investigating the case after the woman’s report.

 

 

Police were informed of the incident and proceeded to the location in a rental room on Chok Phra 8 Alley, Chok Phra Road, Khlong Chok Phra subdistrict, Taling Chan district, Bangkok.

 

The woman reported the incident to the police, who are now working to apprehend the driver. Police have taken her statement and are following legal procedures at Taling Chan Police Station. The investigation remains ongoing as police continue their efforts to locate the suspect and ensure justice for the victim, reported KhaoSod.

Best not to get paralytic drunk and attempt to go home alone...

What amazes me isn't just the crime against this woman, but the idiocy of a taxi driver doing this after picking up the woman in his cab, which can easily be tracked, and thinking it isn't going to come back to him. It's like the many who rob gold stores after parking their scooters outside in full view of cameras, then going home and not realizing they will soon be visited by the police.

Maybe she took the taxi driver to the room , if she doesn’t know nothing how can she say otherwise, maybe he fled because he knew she wasn’t going to pay him . How can she be listened to when she can’t even control her drinking to the point of not knowing anything

Maybe they don't think so much.

She is a woman. Women are always innocent, especially if they drink too much.

Men on the other hand are always guilty, especially if they drink.

Didn't you know that?

Do you really think a woman here is going to pick up a taxi driver here? People flee when they have something to hide. If he was legitimate, he would have notified the police to question her. Taking advantage of a drunk woman is a predator's game. A man wouldn't.

 She resisted and cried out for help,....Maybe IT Was Too BIG / Small for her to be Satisfied ??
