Teacher Files Harassment Complaint Against D.A.R.E. Officer Over Obscene Video
A female teacher in Rayong filed a harassment complaint against a D.A.R.E. officer who allegedly sent her an obscene video via Line, claiming his escalating inappropriate behavior has made her feel unsafe at work.
RAYONG — A female teacher in Rayong province has lodged a formal complaint against a police sub-lieutenant assigned as a D.A.R.E. instructor at her school, accusing him of harassment and sending her an obscene video via Line.
Ms. Aoy, 29, a teacher at a school in Wang Chan District, presented evidence of the alleged obscene clip to Mueang Rayong Police Station, where she met Pol. Lt. Col. Chaikrit Taurat, an inquiry officer. However, since the incident occurred within Wang Chan Police Station's jurisdiction, she was directed to file the complaint there instead.
After learning of the case from reporters, Pol. Col. Suphakorn Maksombat, superintendent of Wang Chan Police Station, ordered immediate action and arranged for the teacher to meet officers on the afternoon of May 25 to proceed with legal procedures.
Ms. Aoy explained that she knew the officer because he had recently been assigned as the replacement D.A.R.E. instructor at her school. She described his behavior becoming increasingly inappropriate, including repeated dinner invitations and frequent Line messages. She attempted to maintain professionalism by responding politely and keeping conversations work-related due to her discomfort.
On the afternoon of May 22, the officer allegedly messaged her again before sending an obscene video clip to her Line account. Ms. Aoy said she was shocked and concerned that his actions indicated improper intentions and posed a potential danger. She decided to collect evidence and pursue legal action, stating she no longer feels safe at her workplace.
