Thai rescuer denies sexually assaulting Thai actress
A rescuer, accused of sexually assaulting Thai actress, denied the allegation, saying he was attempting to provide first aid and performed CPR, not sexual contact as claimed.
The 30 year old actress, Christine Gulasatree Michalsky, shared her account on social media yesterday, March 31, saying she needed urgent medical assistance and asked a friend to call a rescue team to take her to hospital.
She alleged a male rescuer arrived at her condominium room alone and later assaulted her while a security guard went to contact police.
Christine said the man pulled up her T-shirt, removed her trousers, groped her private parts and took photographs of her while she was naked. She said the incident was interrupted when the security guard returned with police officers.
Christine said that although she was ill and weak, she was fully aware of what she alleged happened. She said she could not resist because of her condition and feared the man would hurt her if she fought back.
Today, April 1, Christine went to Khlong Tan Police Station to provide the clothes she wore on the day of the incident and to give further testimony. She remained at the station for more than four hours for additional questioning.
The accused rescuer was also summoned for questioning. According to a report by KhaoSod, he denied sexually assaulting Christine and said he performed CPR. He also denied taking explicit photos, claiming he only photographed her medication packaging to share with medical staff for treatment purposes.
After the questioning, Christine told reporters the rescuer did not perform CPR on her. She said she was not certain whether he had taken a photo of her, but said she saw him using his phone nearby.
Metropolitan Police Division 5 commander Wittawat Chinkham told the media the rescuer came from an area outside Bangkok but was a member of a Bangkok-based rescuer social media group and responded to the call without necessary rescue equipment.
Wittawat said the rescuer’s actions appeared suspicious because rescue teams typically respond in groups rather than alone. He added that the case had not been concluded and required further investigation.
The commander said the investigation would not take long and that the rescuer could face up to 10 years in prison if found guilty.
