A 16-year-old boy was charged yesterday by the Pailin Provincial Court for the alleged rape of two girls, aged 6 and 7, at the state-run orphanage where his mother works, according to provincial penal police bureau chief Chhorm Vanthy.

The suspect reportedly confessed to the rapes during police questioning after being arrested on Friday, Vanthy said. The girls’ guardian had made a complaint to the police on Wednesday.

A police report obtained by the Post said the suspect was brought to the orphanage by his mother, Yith Sopheap, who works there as a nanny.

Rape is still not legal in Thailand?

I suspect rapes happen more frequently than anyone can imagine...

Culture does not adequately protect its young women...IMHO

Sadly - these girls are probably Khmer and the boy Thai...........I will be surprised if justice prevails in this case - often rapes against foreigners by Thai's are not prosecuted if it doesn't end in the death of the girl, even then justice is hard to come by. He will apologize , Wai a few times, and be placed on probation, so he can do it all again.
