French National Arrested in Bangkok for Child Exploitation

Featured Replies

Police have arrested a 40-year-old French national, identified only as "Sean", on charges of sexually assaulting multiple primary school-aged children and possessing hundreds of explicit files.  

 

The suspect, who entered Thailand in 2022, allegedly targeted single Thai mothers with young daughters, using popular dating apps to arrange meetings at condominiums in Bangkok and Pattaya. Once alone with the children, he reportedly molested them, filmed the assaults, and stored the footage in encrypted applications.  

 

Acting on a tip-off, officers from the Immigration Bureau’s Division 1 (BKK TM1) launched an undercover operation. On 19th July, surveillance teams tracked the suspect to his residence. When confronted, he failed to produce a valid passport, claiming it was inside his room. A search uncovered two mobile phones containing the encrypted folders.  

 

Biometric verification confirmed his identity as an overstaying foreigner, with his visa expired. Forensic examination of the devices revealed hundreds of illicit videos and images featuring girls aged 6 to 13, both Thai and foreign nationals.  

 

Authorities charged Sean with:  

 

1. Possession of child sexual abuse material for personal or distribution purposes.  

 

2. Overstaying his visa.

 

Police have opposed bail, citing severe societal risk and lack of legal status. Investigators are now identifying victims and probing potential accomplices who may have facilitated the crimes.  

 

"This case underscores the exploitation of vulnerable children by predators exploiting digital platforms," said Pol. Maj. Gen. Prasart Khemaprasit, commander of BKK TM1. "We urge parents to remain vigilant."  

 

The suspect remains in custody at Thong Lor Police Station as the investigation expands and additional charges may follow.

There are certain acts that when committed, are essentially a self-revocation of the right to consume oxygen, that certainly applies here.

One can almost be certain he monetised the videos to others, who continued to spread them and will be on the net forever, and kids involved will not know and their abuse goes on ad infinitum

And those 6 to 13-year-old daughters didn't tell their mothers, and/or the mothers didn't go to the police?? Strange! 🤔 

 

(Not blaming anyone. Just concerned, why such a pervert and criminal wasn't discovered and arrested much earlier...)

Where is the GoFund Me for chemical castration? Finally, a cause worth contributing to.

Brilliant plan.  Leave the guy with neck tattoos you met on Thaifriendly alone with your kids.

Yeah! Neck tattoos! 

Watch the TV show "Cops" on youtube, invariably, they have a neck tatoo.

 

I have ZERO tattoos

 

I might pull a Gun's Roses on the crazy Thai wife..JOKING! I will always love her.

Sometimes I think about this though.

Takes an idiot or a perverse person to try to shift some blame to 6 to 13 years olds for not telling others a trusted grown ass man sexually assaulted them. They are kids with kid brains. No doubt this creep  threatened them and/ or shamed them and/or traumatized them   Leave the innocent kids out of your blame game.

Not blaming anyone. Please keep your insults for your wife and family!

 

I was only wondering... Anyone knows why he only now was arrested, and not much earlier?

Brilliant!!! After that, feed a stray dog with his saucisson and a couple of creamy French scrambled eggs. What a culinary delight😂

Keep looking there are many more hiding here. Pattaya. Phuket, Samui etc

He should be given a choice, name/identity the scum you have sold/distributed the images to and accept 20 years/followed by deportation. 

Or you can opt for 40 years/execution! 

If he takes the identity choice, once they get nicked the mib throw him under the bus and tell them who grassed.
