British national arrested for engaging in underage sex

Tourist Police held a press conference on Thursday morning to announce the arrest of Mr Paul Dixon, a 45-year-old British passport holder, on charges of engaging in sexual activities with a Thai male under the age of 15.

Police told journalists they had set up an observation post in a known early morning area frequented by foreign men in search of sex with underage Thai males.

Mr Dixon had allegedly come into this area at around 4:30am and offered the teenager 500 baht to perform sexual acts with him.

Police pounced, arrested Mr Dixon and went to the man's room where they found what they claim are incriminating objects such as KY jelly, pornographic movies, and allegedly incriminating photos.

Mr Dixon may now face court proceedings in coming days.
