A 62-year-old taxi driver in Bangkok has been arrested following allegations of committing an indecent act against a 15-year-old girl. The arrest, directed by Police Major General Witthaya Sriprasertphap, involved a team led by Police Colonel Manoon Kaewkam and Police Lieutenant Colonel Rueangwit Duangjinda.

 

The driver, identified as Chamnarn, was apprehended in the Sala Thammasop area of Thawi Watthana district, following a complaint filed by the victim, referred to as B for privacy. The incident occurred after B took a taxi from a shopping centre in Ratchathewi district to Wang Thonglang district.

 

According to the victim, the journey began with Chamnarn discussing politics but soon shifted to topics of a sexual and vulgar nature, making her uncomfortable and anxious to reach her destination. Upon arriving, Chamnarn allegedly touched her right thigh, leaving her frightened. She quickly paid and exited the taxi.

 

B reported the incident to her guardians, who accompanied her to file a report at Wang Thonglang Police Station. Authorities collected evidence and issued an arrest warrant for Chamnarn, who was subsequently taken into custody.

 

During his interrogation, Chamnarn denied any wrongdoing, attributing his age as a reason for his disinterest in such acts. He insisted his actions were meant to be affectionate, comparing them to how one might treat a grandchild. Nonetheless, he was surprised by the legal proceedings initiated against him.

 

Chamnarn has been transferred to Wang Thonglang Police Station where further legal action will be taken as the investigation continues. The case serves as a grave reminder of the importance of safety and appropriateness in professional interactions.

Am curious that evidence they collected? VDO showing the girl was in the car? A fingerprint on her thigh? If the old man did not defend his actions and instead denied them, would he still be charged? 

It is a horrible thing to happen to a young girl in Thailand if true, but also seems the old man really did not think he did anything bad, not because he does not know about sexual fondling and that she was a kid. But his claim he is old and does not have sexual thoughts or even have sex anymore. He may be the dirty old git hotchilli claims, but I think it is also possible he is just an old man who touched her inappropriately but without sexual intonations. For all we know it was done accidentally or in a gesture not related to sex. i hope they have enough evidence to convict him properly if he did it with intent. But i do not think so.

Not much evidence to hold this man in custody. Some compensation to the girl's family will sort this double quick.
