Foreigner Arrested for Posting Explicit Content

[reader]

From Khaosod English

A 26-year-old French student was arrested in Bangkok for posting explicit content and videos of intimate encounters with Thai women on social media platforms, police announced on January 20.

The Immigration Bureau’s Investigation Division, led by Police Colonel Jirapong Rujidarongchai, acted on intelligence reports about a foreign national who had been sharing explicit materials and using social media to solicit sexual encounters while boasting about his physical attributes.

Following an investigation and gathering of evidence, authorities obtained a search warrant from the Northern Bangkok Criminal Court. Officers raided a luxury condominium in the Chatuchak area, where they found the suspect, identified only as Mr. K, a French national studying at a prominent university in Thailand. The search also yielded various electronic devices and adult toys.

When presented with evidence including video clips, Mr. K admitted to being the person in the materials. He claimed the actions were done out of youthful indiscretion and stated that while multiple women had been involved, he had ceased such activities over a year ago.

Police Lieutenant General Chairit Anurit, commander of Immigration Division 3, stated that despite the suspect’s claims of having stopped his activities, the offense had already been committed. The suspect faces charges under computer crime laws for importing and distributing obscene computer data accessible to the public, as well as charges related to the production and distribution of obscene materials.

Why an earth does a police General  get involved in such a trivial affair? Bearing in mind the amount of porn produced in Bangkok, why was this guy singled out?

Because he was posting videos of partners he was having sex with without their consent?

Very different from commercial porn where participants understand that fate of video is to be widely distributed.

Maybe, but both situations  are against Thai law....

I would doubt the Police General got any more involved than getting quoted by the press.

Why was this guy singled out? My guess would be that one of the victims in the case complained to the police.

And the Police used the most relevent laws available to them.
