Local authorities report that they have arrested a local Australian Expat, after a warrant was issued for his arrest, for posting photographs of an un-named Local national woman on the Internet, without her permission, “which resulted in her reputation being tarnished.”

The man, a 56 year old local amateur sportsman , was arrested in a bar in East Pattaya after confirming that the personal details on the warrant did, indeed, pertain to him.

He has, however, denied all the accusations against him.

It is assumed that the woman is currently a Rayong resident, since he has been removed to the police station there for further enquiries.

Cool, about time the authorities started to clamp down on this sort of thing - I don't like those "naughty-boy" forums with their trip reports and photos of girls posters have spent the night with, and I also don't like sitting in a bar watching the world go by and having my picture taken, without asking or a do you mind first.

There has been some interesting stuff on Stickmans site recently about pictures being posted on the internet .

I would prefer it if the authorities spent less time arresting someone for posting naked pics(presumably) of a hooker online and spent more time catching the handbag snatchers, clamping down on thuggish taxi/tuk/motorcycle touts, jet ski scammers and al the other low life in the tourist spots that give Thailand the bad reputation it is fast receiving!

Agreed - (but the report doesn't mention she was a hooker !).

I would prefer if you kept your presumed sexist/racist views to yourself. All Thai women are prostitutes? Really?? Nice attitude.

As far as I am concerned he gets what he deserves. What motivates people to do that in the first place. Idiot.

A case involving pictures posted online and attempted blackmail a couple of years ago resulted in that foreigner getting 8 years. He's still in jail.

[petercool]

Whistleblower, whatever else you would like police to be doing, in this case they were acting on an arrest warrant.

Are you suggesting that is not part of their job ?

[thenervoussurgeon]

I also object to being filmed ,the other day my wife and i were having a coffee in central and noticed this guy filming two ladyboys ,he then continued filming and as we left started to film us , i have nothing to hide ,but on the other hand dont want to end up on the internet.

[Jane Doe]

The woman allows explicit pictures taken of her, but says it destroyed her reputation when they were posted somewhere?

The moment such pictures are taken you know what can happen with them. Silly girl in the first place.

Guys, maybe the pictures were not in favor to her future business. What you see isn't always what you get

[asiawatcher]

There is a post on Pattaya One saying the Embassy has been contacted and the payment request from the girl is 3M Baht.

Darling we know what you are - we are now only negotiating the price.

Pictures of a Thai girl on the internet? They would have to prove he took them first, then posted them second, and if he did, she posed against her will? But is she a hooker - what reputation is there to lose - she is already allowing the pics? It's all about the money.

But you can probably bet, if the guy is a high profiler which they claim, and she may know, he would not be stupid enough to put the pics up where they can be tagged back to him. Methinks this is the Thai boyfriend in cahoots with the hooker. The location where the photos were taken would go a long way to proving innocence or guilt. Let's not be too hasty here - the ball of wax has yet to melt.

[peterdarby]

Looks like a scam, but unless he's in the pictures, or has posted them under his own name, it would seem to be difficult to prove anything.

If he did post the pictures, some retribution is deserved - even if she is a working girl, she would still have a reasonable expectation that what goes on in the privacy of a bedroom should not be made public without her consent.

[brewsterbudgen]

Just because she might be a bargirl doesn't give anyone the right to post explicit pictures of her on the internet.

[TwoDogz]

I doubt her assets are that well recognised.

[balo]

This could be a big business for the BIB in Pattaya.

Any pictures taken inside bars , upload to your facebook and expect to pay a heavy fine.

According to the news report, he allegedly posted explicit reports of this lady and then attempted to blackmail her.

IF he is found guilty then I hope the authorities punish him accordingly.

And you have judged the man guilty and called him an idiot when as far as I can see he has not been convicted of the crime

[MitchellDeanEde]

I wonder how much money they will charge him.

[Rimmer]

Wild accusation concerning the lady in question removed also quoted replies

[mamypoko]

Pics of students in Univ. uniforms do me just fine...anything more is gratuitous.

Often the pretty bows on past birthday presents exceeded the contents.

[NewlyMintedThai]

I wonder how much money they will charge him.

Girl wants 3 million to drop the charged. And good on her, too. It will be her responsibilty -- not his -- to reward the police for acting on her complaint.

[DrTuner]

3M for nudies on net ? This is going to get popular, I'll bet. The Hub of Extortion, eh ?

Looking at it a bit backwards, perhaps? It's the guy who's broken the law -- not her.

[Fgis]

Can I hit the "journalists" face if they want to take a photo when if I ever have to go to police station ?

I couldn't stand these rats trying to talk about what is not their business.

And who call them actuallly ? Do they pay the cops or one of the rats is living at the police station ?

Agreed - (but the report doesn't mention she was a hooker !).

True-however, we should be basing our thoughts/opinions on normal process. That would mean this was his Ex girlfriend, who who he met in a bar in Soi five, which would indeed mean that she was a hooker, even if she isn't now by virtue of the fact that she became his girlfriend and stopped working immediately so "he could take her away from this dreadful life".

Reporting news is their business, and when you are arrested you become news. Wow! Just like at home!

Personally,I would resist physically attacking a journalist (or anyone else) when you're in a room full of cops if I were you.
