Foreigner accused of rape

After failing to pay adequate compensation for services rendered

PATTAYA: The dangers of Beach Road encounters were again proven last week as Spanish tourist Antonio Costas was accused of rape by Sukanya Kingnok.

At around 2 a.m. on February 20 police were called to the Diana Dragon apartment building near Soi Bua Khao after hotel staff reported the incident. Officers arrived at the fourth floor room to find Sukanya Kingnok crying, with the foreigner standing nearby. The woman pointed to Costas saying that he had raped her. Both were taken to Soi 9 for questioning.

Police interviewed the Spaniard who told police that he was walking along Beach Road when he met the woman. They sat and chatted and agreed on a price for services and went back to his room. Once their activities were finished, according to Costas, he paid the agreed rate but the woman demanded more. Costas refused and tried to remove her from the room, at which time she began screaming.

Sukanya’s side of the story was that she was sitting on the beachfront when the man approached her. They chatted and he asked her to go back to his room for a massage for 300 baht. She alleged during the massage the foreigner became amorous and forced her to have sex. Afterwards he released her and tried to kick her out of the room, at which time she called for help.

Police recorded the statements and the woman was sent to the Banglamung Hospital for further medical examination as proof of the allegations, after which she returned to the station to proceed with her claims. Antonio Costas asked police if he could settle the matter with the woman and finally they came to an agreement of 4,500 baht. Officers then released the pair on their own accord.
