Female Bangkok teacher accused of sexually assaulting schoolgirl
A 12 year old schoolgirl from the Nong Chok district of Bangkok accused a female teacher of sexually assaulting her and luring her into sending explicit pictures and pornography.
Thai social media influencer Guntouch “Gun” Pongpaiboonwet accompanied the 12 year old girl, known as A, and her family members to file a complaint against the teacher at Nong Chok Police Station yesterday, November 28.
Gun explained that the teacher was A’s counsellor when she was studying in grades 5 and 6 at a primary school in the Nong Chok district. Now, A is studying grade 7 at a different school while the accused teacher moved to a higher position as a deputy school director in a different school.
Gun revealed the story to the media. The teacher talked to A through a chat application since A was in grade 5 and allegedly tried to develop a romantic relationship with the married teacher. A did not want to continue talking to the teacher but she did not dare to ignore her messages.
The tutor then ordered A to send her explicit videos and pictures. A complied with the teacher’s order because she was afraid that refusing would affect her studies.
The teacher reportedly continued to threaten A into sending nude pictures and videos, even though they were at different schools. If A refused to comply, the teacher said she would post the videos and pictures on social media. The teacher reportedly forced A to go with her to a petrol station in the area where she raped her three times.
Teacher defends herself
A’s older sister revealed that she noticed her sister’s unnatural behaviour over the past year. Her sister decided to call the teacher to ask about their relationship, which made the teacher angry.
“I am acting as a teacher. I have not done anything to the girl. It is normal for teachers to be close to students.”
A told her sister the whole story on Saturday, November 25, and decided to seek support and recommendations from Gun.
The teacher turned herself in at Nong Chok Police Station today to protest her innocence and file a complaint against Gun and A’s sister. The teacher accused Gun of spreading false information and damaging her reputation and accused A’s sister of reporting false information to the police and causing her harm.
The teacher claimed that she found A sending naked pictures and videos of herself to classmates and also sending them to her. She warned A to stop sending the pornographic pictures. She then discovered that A was flirting with a boy from a high school and asked her to end the relationship for A’s safety. After that, she never spoke to A again.
Gun and A’s family revealed that they had all the evidence of the sexual assault and handed it over to the police.
Nong Chok Police Station Superintendent Yingyot Suwanno reported that officers had already questioned A, along with specialists, but could not disclose any details of the questioning to the public. Yingyot insisted that they would collect all of the evidence and conduct a thorough investigation to ensure justice for both parties.
