Chinese women rescued after alleged rape and detention at Chon Buri villaLegacyPolice raided a villa in Chon Buri early today, September 23, after a Chinese woman sent a message for help, leading officers to detain four Chinese men after three Chinese women accused them of detention, rape and ransom demands. The alert began at around 11pm yesterday when a relative contacted Chon Buri immigration after receiving a message from the woman saying she might be in danger. By around 12.30am, more than 20 personnel from Chon Buri immigration, Bang Lamung Police Station, tourist police, Immigration Division 3 and other teams had surrounded a two-storey house in Takhian Tia subdistrict, Bang Lamung district, Chon Buri.

Two Chinese women were found in an adjoining room on the ground floor. Officers then went upstairs and found three more Chinese men, who were ordered to sit down and were detained. In another upstairs bedroom, they found a Chinese woman wearing pyjamas who appeared battered and frightened. She became visibly relieved when she realised the police had arrived to help. Police also found a long chain said to have been used to restrain a victim and stop her from escaping.

In the WeChat plea, the woman said her phone was not with her and claimed she was being held at the property. She warned the recipient not to reply because it could put her in danger, said there were several men and three women inside, and asked for police to be sent in large numbers. She also shared the location of the two-storey villa, urged officers to use caution, said those inside did not have firearms, and asked that Jixiang not send her any messages either. Photo via Siamrath Passport checks identified the three Chinese women as 36 year old Liu, 32 year old Liu, and 23 year old Xing. All three told investigators they had been contacted and offered entertainment work before travelling to the house. The women told investigators that after arriving, the men detained and raped them, then demanded ransom from their relatives. Photo via Siamrath Four Chinese men were detained at the property. Preliminary checks found that none of the four had passports. Police alleged that they had entered Thailand illegally through natural border crossings. Evidence from the mobile phone of one of the detained men included photographs allegedly showing the Chinese women being molested, as well as images involving ketamine. Investigators are examining the evidence and continuing legal procedures to identify everyone involved, while also investigating the women’s allegations of unlawful detention, rape and ransom demands.
