george Posted February 19, 2008 Share Posted February 19, 2008 A 61-year-old American jailed for luring underage girls BANGKOK: -- The Criminal Court sentenced Tuesday a 61-year-old American man to 16 years in jail for luring two underage girls into performing lewd acts, which he videotaped. Police told the court they had received a tip off that some tourists were molesting Thai girls in a bungalow in Northern Pattaya Beach in Chon Buri's Bang La Mung district. They arrested Glen Allen Richard, 61, at his hotel room on February 17 last year. He was accused of paying two 14yearold Thai girls Bt500 each to perform oral sex on him while he videotaped them Richard maintained his innocence and said he was only a tourist and denied the charges. However, the court decided evidence from witnesses and officials provided a true account of the defendant's behaviour and they had no reason to defame him. Richard's testimony was deemed unconvincing, and the court found him guilty as charged he was sentenced to a 16years prison term. This case emerged when Police Lt Gen Montri Jamroon was alerted that four foreigners including the defendant had gathered at Pattaya Beach for lewd acts, where a middleaged woman procured Thai girls for them to videotape in return for payment from Bt500 to Bt3,000 per time. Officials gathered evidence and then issued arrest warrants for the foreigners, who reportedly had done this many times before. The other three defendants would be put on trial separately at a later date. --The Nation 2008-02-19 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sweetchariot Posted February 19, 2008 Share Posted February 19, 2008 Great to hear the actual sentence for a change, the local rags never follow these stories through. If this was more widely publicised it might put a few of the pervs off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

koheesti Posted February 20, 2008 Share Posted February 20, 2008 When you're 61, wouldn't two 18-yr olds be good enough? Those extra 4 years just earned him 16 years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He will probably be let out on bail pending appeal, then who knows what will happen. The British guy that was arrested years ago and appeared on BBC news was released on Bail after getting a big sentence, he never went to Jail and is one of those arrested in this round up.
