34-Year-Old Man Arrested for Luring 15-Year-Old Girl, Recording Secret Video and Threatening to Release It
A 34-year-old man was arrested in Samut Prakan for luring a 15-year-old girl he met online, secretly recording intimate videos, and threatening to release them when she tried to end the relationship.
On May 8, 2569, Police Colonel Pattana Bupasuwan ordered officers to arrest Thanesh (surname withheld), 34, at a food shop on Sukhumvit Road in Klong Duan, Bang Bo district, Samut Prakan province, based on a warrant issued by Thanyaburi Provincial Court on April 27, 2569. He faces charges of luring a minor aged 15-18 away from guardians for indecent acts, with consent from the minor.
The case began in November 2568 when the victim's father reported to Thanyaburi Police Station that his 15-year-old daughter had met the suspect through the online game "Free Fire." They later communicated via Facebook. The suspect subsequently arranged meetings at a shopping mall in Rangsit, then took her to a resort in Lam Luka, Pathum Thani province, where he recorded intimate videos without her knowledge.
In June 2568, the suspect took the victim to his workplace in Bang Bo district and recorded videos again. When the victim tried to end the relationship in August 2568, the suspect sent threatening messages demanding they meet, warning he would release the videos online if she refused. Frightened, she told her father, who filed a police report.
After investigation, officers arrested the suspect. During interrogation, he admitted to knowing the victim through the online game and developing a relationship. He confessed to recording videos during multiple meetings in both Pathum Thani and Samut Prakan. He acknowledged threatening to release the videos when she wanted to end the relationship but claimed it was only a threat and he never actually distributed them. He has been transferred to Thanyaburi Police Station for further legal proceedings.
