Math Teacher Arrested For Sexually Abusing 20 Boys
A math teacher with a doctoral degree was arrested in Nakhon Pathom Province for sexually abusing more than 20 boys over a decade, using blackmail and filmed evidence to coerce victims into silence.
At 9:00 a.m. on July 10, 2025, Deputy National Police Commander Thatchai Pitanilabut, heading the National Police Office's Anti-Human Trafficking Center, announced the arrest of a suspect in a sextortion case involving continuous child sexual abuse. The investigation revealed crimes spanning more than 10 years, with more than 20 child victims. The operation aligns with Prime Minister Anuthinthaung's directive to prevent and suppress human trafficking and crimes against children under the "Together We Can Stop Human Trafficking" initiative.
The case represents a serious hidden threat within educational institutions. The suspect holds a doctoral degree and works as a mathematics teacher at a prestigious school, exploiting his professional reputation and credibility to target students. Police arrested him at his residence in Muang Nakhon Pathom district.
The investigation began on July 2, 2025, when parents of a boy under 15 filed a complaint after discovering their son had been sexually abused by a private tutor. The child exhibited depression and physical injuries. Medical examination confirmed inflammation. The boy later revealed the teacher filmed the abuse and threatened to expose him if he told anyone, using blackmail to coerce repeated abuse over one year—more than 22 instances. Investigators coordinated with multi-disciplinary teams to interview the victim and parents, gathering evidence. The National Police Office's TICAC unit (Internet-Based Child Sexual Abuse Task Force) assisted in the arrest of the suspect, a prominent elementary school teacher, at his residence in Nakhon Pathom Province.
