Stepfather Accused of Raping Disabled Stepdaughter in Ubon Ratchathani
A 17-year-old intellectually disabled girl in Ubon Ratchathani was allegedly raped repeatedly by her stepfather, who threatened her into silence. Relatives discovered the abuse, recorded evidence, and enlisted a popular Facebook page to help file a police report. The stepfather, who has a prior theft arrest, now faces rape charges as police gather evidence and the victim undergoes medical examination.
On November 14, 2026, Chanwit Yodsing, also known as Uey Hia Chan, owner of the 'Ban Hia Chan' Facebook page, accompanied 17-year-old Ms. A (pseudonym) and her grandmother Ms. Sai (pseudonym) to meet Lieutenant Colonel Sireek Bunmongkol, Deputy Inspector of Investigation at Mueang Ubon Ratchathani Police Station, to file a complaint against the stepfather for rape.
Preliminary investigation revealed the stepfather lured the girl's mother out of the house before committing the assault and threatened to release a video clip if she told anyone. Later, relatives overheard the stepfather asking about the girl's injuries after the rape and secretly recorded the conversation to seek help from the Facebook page.
The grandmother stated she was previously unaware of the abuse and never imagined anyone would harm her granddaughter, who has an intellectual disability. She vowed to pursue the case to the end.
Background checks showed Ms. A had been assaulted multiple times by both the stepfather and his friend. The stepfather was also recently arrested for a theft case at a market in Mueang Ubon Ratchathani district.
Following the complaint, Lieutenant Colonel Sireek reported to Police Colonel Saksi Kairat, Superintendent of Mueang Ubon Ratchathani Police Station, who ordered the victim to undergo a medical examination and expedited evidence gathering for prosecution.
