Uncle Arrested for Sexually Abusing Niece Starting at Age 14, Threatened Her with Death if She Told Anyone
A 29-year-old man was arrested in Nonthaburi for sexually abusing his niece starting when she was 14, threatening to kill her if she reported the assaults to authorities.
On May 10, 2025, police from the Central Investigation Bureau arrested 29-year-old Sompon (surname withheld) pursuant to an arrest warrant from Nakhon Ratchasima Provincial Court dated October 26, 2566, on charges of taking a minor under 15 years old for indecent purposes and sexual assault with threats and violence. The arrest was made in the Sai Noi district of Nonthaburi province.
The case emerged in June 2566 when the victim's parents brought their 17-year-old daughter for a medical examination. A hospital doctor identified signs of sexual abuse, prompting questioning that revealed the girl had been assaulted twice by her paternal uncle, Sompon.
The victim disclosed that the first incident occurred in May 2563 when she was only 14 years old and in eighth grade. While she was using her phone at home, Sompon approached from behind, grabbed her, and forcibly dragged her to his nearby residence just five meters away. He then raped her while threatening to kill her if she made noise or told anyone.
The second assault occurred in June 2566 when the victim was 17. Sompon again attacked her with similar methods—hugging, dragging her to his bed, covering her mouth, and threatening to harm her if she resisted. Terrified, the victim complied.
After learning of the abuse, the mother immediately filed a report at Wang Nam Khiao Police Station. While investigators were gathering evidence to obtain an arrest warrant, Sompon fled the area. Police eventually tracked him down in Sai Noi district, Nonthaburi province, where he was arrested. The suspect initially denied the allegations and was transferred to Wang Nam Khiao Police Station for further legal proceedings.
