Thai transwoman busted at Nonthaburi hotel for explicit content
A Thai transgender influencer with nearly 30,000 followers on social media has been arrested for operating a secret group distributing explicit content. The 22 year old suspect reportedly confessed to running the scheme for two years, raking in tens of thousands of baht per month.
Police Lieutenant General Trirong Phiwpaen, Commander of the Technology Crime Suppression Division (TCSD), revealed details of the arrest carried out by a specialised task force. The operation, led by Police Colonel Sarayut Junnawat and Pol. Col. Torsak Panklinput, followed an investigation into explicit material shared through a locked account on the X platform.
According to police, Chakraphat promoted sample clips on her account and invited followers to join a private group for a fee of 260 baht. Members were granted access to continuous streams of explicit content. Police discovered over 300 paying subscribers and tracked the suspect through digital evidence.
Armed with an arrest warrant issued by the Nonthaburi Provincial Court, officers apprehended Chakraphat yesterday, January 23, in a hotel parking lot in Pak Kret district, Nonthaburi province. During interrogation, the transwoman admitted to posting the clips and managing the subscription-based account. She also claimed that gambling networks had approached her to promote illegal stock trading links, which she declined.
“This person used her online influence to profit from illegal activities. We are committed to cracking down on such offences.”
Chakraphat now faces charges under Thailand’s Computer Crimes Act for uploading obscene material and operating a trade for explicit content. The transgender woman has been handed over to the police for further legal proceedings, reported KhaoSod.
Police are warning the public to remain vigilant against similar schemes flourishing on social media platforms.
In related news, police apprehended a transwoman in Nakhon Ratchasima for producing and distributing explicit content online, following a discovery of over 120 illicit clips. The operation, led by high-ranking officials, targeted a 37 year old transgender woman accused of creating and circulating pornographic material and uploading it to a computer system.
