Arrested: Uncle Sexually Assaults 18-Year-Old Niece, Secret Letter Saves Her, Now Pregnant

At 2:00 PM on May 21, 2026, police from Udon Thani City Station arrested Suphat (name withheld), 38, and Suwit (name withheld), 63, a father and son, on charges of rape and indecent assault. They were apprehended while sleeping at their home in Ban Chan Sub-district, Muang District, Udon Thani Province, then brought in for questioning.

The victim, Ms. A (pseudonym), 18, had written a secret letter to her mother, Ms. B (name withheld), 38, revealing she had been raped by her uncle six times and subjected to indecent touching. Ms. B had left her daughter in the care of relatives after separating from her husband. Upon learning her daughter was pregnant, Ms. B immediately filed a report with police.

During interrogation, Suphat confessed to the sexual assaults, claiming he acted because he lived in the same house and frequently saw his niece wearing revealing clothes and sitting carelessly, which aroused him sexually. He stated he raped her three times (not six), with the other three instances being molestation. He threatened her into silence after the first assault. Suphat admitted he used drugs before the incidents and apologized to both his niece and her mother.

Suwit confessed to groping his niece's chest on three occasions while asking for money, but denied experiencing sexual arousal. He admitted to drug use and apologized for his actions.

Ms. B expressed relief that the perpetrators were arrested, saying her daughter could now feel safe. She stated the doctors confirmed the pregnancy and she had it terminated. She cut off all family ties with the accused. Ms. B noted she earns 300 baht per day as a laborer, lost five days of work, and has no income. She was forced to pawn her motorcycle for 1,000 baht just to survive. Her daughter is currently recovering in the hospital.
