Lawyer Thongyot Wiphasapananth, known as 'Lawyer Tuay,' is urging victims of a famous TikTok star to come forward and file police reports after more than 20 women alleged they were lured with job offers then sexually assaulted. Speaking after a TV program on October 26, 2026, at the Malenont Building, he addressed the case where a former girlfriend and multiple victims exposed the TikTok star's behavior, finding over 20 victims who were tricked into photo shoots and sexually abused, becoming a major topic of online criticism.
Thongyot explained the legal framework and case procedures for the perpetrator who defrauded victims, numbering around 20 to 28 people. He stressed that case proceedings must be based on facts and victim testimony, urging victims to bring evidence and witnesses to investigators. Regarding sexual assault, threats, coercion, attempted rape, or causing fear, charges can proceed based on the specific facts. Even if the crime was not completed, it constitutes attempted offense, and each act against each victim counts as a separate crime. He wants the perpetrator prosecuted to prevent further social harm and protect aspiring musicians.
Lawyer Tuay noted the perpetrator exploited vulnerabilities and desperation, using false job offers or greed as bait to target women. He encouraged victims to file complaints with evidence. For cases involving video recordings used for blackmail, distribution on social media violates the Computer Crime Act. Keeping recordings to threaten victims for sexual favors or money also constitutes criminal evidence.
He acknowledged victims' shame but highlighted that the Royal Thai Police now have female investigators assigned directly to sex crime cases. He urged victims to come forward so the perpetrator can be prosecuted and prevented from harming others. He concluded with a message to the anonymous perpetrator: 'The music industry is a small circle, and in the end, the justice process will require you to reveal your identity in court.'
