The teenager said that the politician always insisted he meant well and wanted to encourage her to focus on her studies.
The girl further claimed that this politician expressed jealousy when she dated her ex-boyfriend. He reportedly went to her ex-boyfriend’s home and ordered him to break up with her.
The MP candidate contacted the local news Facebook page, วิทยุชุมชน แกไม่รอดแน่ 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝘀𝗲𝗿𝗶𝗲𝘀, to deny the accusations. He insisted that she did not attend school and that he only wanted to help her improve her studies.
The girl’s parents later accompanied her to the police station to file a complaint against the MP candidate. According to the news Facebook page, the politician is from the Klatham Party, but this information has not yet been confirmed by the police or the party itself.
