Bangkok Senator Accused of Attempted Rape by Ex-News Anchor

In a developing controversy, former news anchor Natthasinee “Kwan” Pinyopiyavid has accused a Thai senator of attempted rape, allegedly occurring at a condominium in Bangkok's Bang Sue area.

 

Natthasinee, who also worked as an advisor to a Senate subcommittee, has taken to social media to announce a press conference at Parliament today, July 8, to discuss the allegations. She has already filed a complaint at Tao Poon Police Station, bringing the matter into the public eye.

 

According to Natthasinee, she first met the senator in September 2024 when they started communicating frequently in a professional context, with no romantic involvement.

 

Events allegedly escalated after a simple birthday message from Natthasinee on July 5 via LINE, which led to an invitation from the senator for dinner at a restaurant on Banthat Thong Road. After the meal, Natthasinee reportedly asked the senator to drive her home.

 

The situation took a disturbing turn when the senator allegedly restrained Natthasinee in his car, proposing sexual advances. Despite her clear refusals, he purportedly drove her against her will to his condominium in Bang Sue.

 

Inside the apartment, Natthasinee claims the senator forced her into his unit, continued his unwelcome advances, and engaged in inappropriate touching. Her insistence and emotional pleas eventually led him to relent and drive her home.

 

In the aftermath, the senator allegedly made attempts to resolve the incident privately after learning of the police complaint, but Natthasinee rejected any settlement and is committed to pursuing full legal action. She disclosed that the distress has left her with a panic attack and a diagnosis of post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD).

 

The senator, a former leader of a business operators’ association in an eastern Thai province, is expected to hold his own press conference today to respond to these serious accusations. As the story unfolds, the public and media eagerly await further developments, with the potential legal and political repercussions hanging in the balance.

 

The case raises significant questions about accountability and the treatment of women in professional spaces, resonating deeply in the context of ongoing discussions about gender and power dynamics in Thailand. With public interest high, the ensuing investigations and outcomes will likely draw considerable scrutiny.

So the guy's a pig. 

 

But how did she go from the carpark to inside his condo?  And why did she get back in his car and not flag down a taxi?

 

There's something missing from the story.

Her story sounds like she is lying. Made sexual advancements in the car while driving her home. Then taking her forcibly to his condo? How exactly is this done without others seeing it or hearing it? Was she tied up and dragged into the building and then dragged into the room? Something just does not sound right in this. 

A ride home doesn't mean consent.... but then again she did almost  get herself in a sticky situation

These lowlifes are likely responsible for countless crimes and breaches of social norms. They simply have too much power and it is likely that the law rarely pursues them. Hope this creep gets locked up. 

As mentioned, how the hell did he get her into the condo? Why would she go with him willingly if she knew his intentions while sat in the car? And then why did he, after apparently making a huge effort to force her into the condo, suddenly relent at the last second when he probably had a stonker on? To me that seems like the most unlikely time a would-be rapist might suddenly give up and say "okay, I'm sorry, forget it". 

 

I think she's full of crap, maybe she felt she didn't get paid enough... 

And on her way from the car to his appartment there was no security or other people to call for assistance ??

In thailand where people "everywhere" 😉

For what? 

 

She came into his condo, and she was so afraid of the guy that she took a ride home from him instead of running away and flagging down a taxi.

Worse than that.... she got into his car after being offered a ride home... Not his home... bet her home. then he made advances in the car? Why would she even get out or go into his condo willingly when all this happened prior to her arrival at the mans condo?

    I was buying her story until she went into his condo.  If he was attempting to rape her she should have screamed bloody murder as soon as she was able to get out of his car.  

She initiates contact, accepts dinner invitation,  he feels there’s potential for sex, he makes advancement, she rejects, he drives her home. Me thinks she was after something she didn’t get so decided to attack him. His typical (do you know who I am) ego got the better of him. Lucky he didn’t go too far. Case dismissed. 

I saw the circus on tv when she made her report at the police station - she dramatically "collapsed" for the cameras three times in the space of a couple of minutes. If she took acting classes she should ask for a refund.
