A 24-year-old man, who had ordained as a monk to evade arrest, has been captured by police in Surat Thani province. Wutthacha or "Singh" was apprehended on 8 November 2025 on charges relating to the rape of a 14-year-old girl. The arrest was made by the Central Investigation Bureau's Highway Police Division.

 

The alleged offences occurred in June 2025. The suspect, then a conscripted soldier, met the victim, a student, outside her school in Chaiya district. He later persuaded the girl, referred to as "Dear," to skip school, taking her to a local resort where the assault took place.

 

After the victim's parents discovered the incident, they filed a complaint with the Chaiya Police Station. This led to the Chaiya Provincial Court issuing an arrest warrant for Wutthacha on 6 August 2025. The suspect fled the area upon learning of the warrant.

 

He subsequently ordained as a monk in Surat Thani province in an attempt to avoid capture. Police intelligence identified his location and he was arrested while planning to travel to a temple in the central region. The suspect claimed the victim had consented.

 

Wutthacha faces multiple charges including the rape of a minor under fifteen years old, indecent acts with a minor and luring a child away from her parents for indecent purposes. The law states these are crimes regardless of the child's consent. He has been handed over to the Chaiya Police Station for further legal proceedings.
