Sex Clip 'Blackmail' Arrest: Bangkok

[LucidLucifer]

this story might be an inspiration for skum all over the country, to try this sex tape and extortion thing against farangs

Their repotoire of of extortion tactics is large enough already, I can't see it catching on. Too many potential pitfalls with pornography in this country.

[LucidLucifer]

You can get into serious trouble if you take a girl out of the bar and she is under 18 apart from the fact that alcohol is being served there and they shouldn't be there in the first place. That never comes into it, you are gone period

I'm happy to stand corrected, as bars like that aren't my scene, but I thought it was 20 years old in bars?

[KhunMoo]

It would be interesting to know how the girl was allowed to travel in Thailand on her own.

Surely this isn't normal for a 17 yo girl?

She is from Scandinavia - there it's quite normal. From the age of 15'ish young adults will travel on their own or in groups abroad. Me and my mates arranged our own summer vacation at age 15, and went to Greece together, without our parents.

Good for some - others can't handle it.

Apart from the video and blackmail, which was totally despicable .....

I was quite impressed he managed to bag a 17 yo Norwegian girl.

a loaded one aswell

Well here is one more good thing to add to the list of others for the tourism industry here in Thailand. Way to go people.

BANGKOK: -- An assistant manager of a supermarket in Bangkok was arrested yesterday for publishing a video clip of sex with a 17-year-old Thai student in Norway, whom he befriended via Camfrog and had intimate relationship with when she visited Thailand.

I doubt she was blonde.One of his own nationality as far as I am concerned.

[Jaivin2011]

I really cannot understand this....take a good look at the guy! I mean.....most of the guys in Norway are so so bloodly cute that a gay guy like me would die for and yet she travelled all the way for this ugly scumbag! Really baffles me.

The girl's Thai studying in Norway. Of course she would want to settle down with a nice young Thai man.

[LucidLucifer]

She might well have been less than a looker herself, and thought he was actually quite a catch. Fugly girls do exist in Thailand.

[Rancid]

Ah, so the girl is Thai, I found it amazing that he would have just lucked across the extremely rare western girl all too happy to jump in the sack. I mean after all it wasn't the Bali Rasta Club or Kenya where the occasional indescretion has been known.

I have to ask; what sort of parents would let their 17-year-old daughter travel half way across the world to be with some guy she met on the Internet?

I am always keeping a behind the scenes watch on my children, and although my daughter is 26 years old and my son is a policeman, that doesn’t mean I’m not always concerned about their health and safety, plus I am always here to support and advise them if they need it. I still tell my son, fondly, that although he maybe considered a big shot in the police force, that doesn’t mean that’s he is excempt from receiving a good thrashing from his dad if I think he deserves it. Of course I never did and would never lay my hands on my kids, but my children know that they must always show me some respect and not to go too far against the grain with me and they really do love their dad better for it.

There would have been absolutely no way that I would have let my daughter when she was 17 go off with someone she met online or any boy she hardly knew, whether it be at home or abroad. Over my dead body would that ever had happened.

Surely it is every parent’s responsibility and duty to take an interest of what they’re children are up to and who with?

If you've educated and raised your children properly you should certainly be able to trust them to make their own decisions along these lines long before they get to 17.

Both my sister and I traveled internationally with friends, school trips (both sexes traveling together) and on our own from 14 on. Our parents were fully aware we were having sex by then too, in fact both of us had SO's sleep over, go on family holidays with us etc.

Amy Schalet's "Not Under My Roof: Parents, Teens and the Culture of Sex" is an excellent comparison between the average Taliban-like attitudes in NES cultures as opposed to more enlightened European ones. Relevant link. And another.

What is the age of consent in Thailand and why is this not statutory rape?

Even true forcible rape of very young girls is very very rarely prosecuted here, as it's usually done by family members or friends of the family or village neighbors.

The punishment if any is usually (what we would consider) a small amount of money compensating the family for the loss of her value in sin sot - if it's a young guy, an acceptable alternative is often for the guy to be allowed to marry his victim.

But that's the worst case scenario 99.99% of the time, the girl doesn't tell anyone, just grows up scarred. I reckon well over the 12-18% estimated in the west.

As far as teenagers messing around, there is absolutely no idea of that being any kind of serious crime in most levels of society here, Thailand has agreed to institute such laws under pressure from the international community, and they are generally "enforced" (usually by blackmail rather than actual prosecution) exclusively on its members.

And that mostly-theoretical 15 AOC limit is for Thai-on-Thai with no money involved.

For p4p it's actually 19 or maybe even 20? but same fudge-factor non-enforcement applies, I believe in practice in Pattaya 18 yo's are acceptable to the BiB even in the explicit BG trade.

For the 95% of the industry here that is Thai-on-Thai only, none of that applies, the above going-through-the-motions wrt to the farang-catering sectors, are again to satisfy pressure from our own governments.

That’s true, but they still require some guidance and pointing out of the pitfalls that maybe out there waiting to snare them. Also taking into consideration that during the time of your and siblings youth there was no Internet and maybe prior to the times of HIV and aids as was in my case.

Whatever my kids do, of course is up to them, once they have reached the legal age of adulthood, but luckily my kids are blessed with common sense and know the score, I have been installing that into them from the time they were still in nappies. Not that I ever ruled over them with Victorian moral standards, because I used to say and still do, they either heed my warnings and advice or don`t, because whatever they do must be left to their own discretion because they are grown up now, but as a responsible parent I must at least try and safeguard my children from harm and from those that would take advantage of them.

These days the world is a much more dangerous place for children that can be vulnerable and open to being taken advantage and abused from the more street wise kids and the perverts that plaque our society.

I can’t imagine how I would feel seeing a video of my daughter on the Internet having sex with some pond life and for the entire world to see. But one has to be a loving and caring parent to fully understand.

They say that if you have a son, you worry, but when you have a daughter, you pray. That certainly pertains to me and to most of the parents I have ever known and know.

This was my attitude also - but that was over 30 years ago. I do not feel that I should pontificate today since I do not relate well to today's life styles.

When both my kids reached the age of 21 I gave them 2 weeks to find somewhere else to live and told them they would probably be on their own if they got their lives in a mess. Now that they were adults they should make their own way in life and take responsibility for whatever decisions that they made. That's what adults do.

Oh boy, I`m so glad you were never my Dad. OK, kids, I`ve done my duty, you`re grown now, so piss off and have a good life and don`t bother calling me, I`ll call you.

Are you Swedish and have a 17 year old daughter by any chance?

Sorry fella, but this is not normal unless they are not actually your biological children?

Wanted to scare the girl into coming back to him.

Haha, Awesome logic. Real rocket scientist here.

[HerbalEd]

I hope they throw the book at him but this is Thailand after all nothing really happens over here ..

What a broad sweeping generality. Thai prisons are full of prisoners who've been convicted of crimes.

[HerbalEd]

If the police were only be so swift to take all the pimps of the streets living on their Thai girlfriends.

Where are all these pimps? I've been coming to Thailand for over thirty years and have yet to see any evidence of one pimp. Being a sleazy boyfriend is not the same as a pimp.

How do you know that she didn't travel to Thailand with one or both of her parents?

[normac44]

It would be interesting to know how the girl was allowed to travel in Thailand on her own.

Surely this isn't normal for a 17 yo girl?

I was about to ask that very same question.Why did her parents or guardians allow her to travel on the whim of some guy she met on the internet?
