On April 28, 2025, a 42-year-old woman filed a complaint reporting that her 8-year-old daughter was lured and sexually abused by the son of her husband's friend, a 14-year-old boy recently released from juvenile detention. The incident occurred on April 26 in Pathum Thani province when the girl's bicycle went missing while she was buying snacks at a convenience store. Around 8 p.m., the teenage boy invited the girl to help search for the bicycle, and the mother, believing he had just been released from detention and would not cause harm, allowed them to go. After some time, her other son ran home in panic to report that the teenager had pushed the girl into the woods and sexually assaulted her. The mother found her daughter hiding at a friend's house in fear.
A community leader advised the family to file a police report and arranged for the girl to undergo preliminary medical examination, which revealed bruising in the genital area. Detailed examination results from Pathum Thani Hospital are pending. The mother stated that her daughter is now suffering from depression and is determined to pursue charges to the fullest extent. She revealed this is the second incident with the same perpetrator; the first occurred when her daughter was 6 years old near her aunt's house but was prevented from escalating when someone intervened.
Police brought the girl to the scene for investigation amid considerable public attention. A confrontation erupted when the girl's uncle assaulted the girl's biological father—her uncle—out of anger and grief because the biological father sided with the perpetrator and showed reluctance to pursue the case. The community leader disclosed that the perpetrator has a history of inappropriate behavior and multiple incidents, having been released from detention just 3-4 days before committing this new offense. The perpetrator's parents also have a history of drug involvement, prompting the community leader to regularly warn residents to be cautious.
Police stated that because both the victim and perpetrator are minors, the investigation will involve a multidisciplinary team for thorough questioning. Charges will be filed once the investigation is complete and the legal procedures can proceed accordingly.
