Thai tomboy allegedly raped and left lying naked in Lampang
A Thai mother was shocked to discover her tomboy daughter lying naked near the railway in the northern province of Lampang and suspected that a man, who was found half-naked at the scene, raped her.
The 53 year old Thai mother filed a complaint against a Thai man, whose identity remains undisclosed, at Mueang Lampang Police Station at 3am yesterday, March 31, after she found her tomboy daughter lying naked and crying for help near the railway track.
The mother explained that she and her daughter, 28 year old Nuch, operated a stall at one of the biggest fairs in Lampang, which was held at the location of the incident. When her daughter went missing, she searched for her and found her with a male vendor whose stall was near hers.
The mother said most of the vendors stayed at their stalls until the last few days of the fair. On the day of the incident, she was aware that her daughter had been drinking alcohol with the alleged male suspect vendor from 10pm that night, but did not expect any harm to come to Nuch.
According to the mother, she rushed to put clothes on Nuch but could not find her underwear. She was convinced that Nuch was raped because her private part looked abnormal. Nuch was also heavily intoxicated.
The 30 year old male vendor was seen making a scene at the spot. He was wearing only a shirt but repeatedly denied involvement in the incident. He later admitted to having sex with the woman’s daughter but accused Nuch of seducing him.
The mother insisted that her daughter was a tomboy and had never had a boyfriend. She stated that Nuch had no interest in men and would never have seduced the suspect, as he claimed.
Police called a rescue team to transfer Nuch to a hospital for a medical examination to check for signs of sexual assault. The male vendor was taken to the police station for questioning and continued to insist on his innocence.
Some Thai netizens took to the comments section of the report on Channel 7 to mock the story and blame the victim for her recklessness.
Some even joked that the suspect successfully turned a tomboy into a woman, while others callously said she deserved it because she drank alcohol with a stranger.
The negative comments sparked online controversy, with many others condemning them as victim-blaming. They argued that no one deserves to be raped, regardless of their age or gender.
