On Sunday, September 3, the mother of a 14 year-old girl
from Takuatung, Phang Nga, Thailand reported to Kokloy Police that her
daughter had been raped by 40 men from the same village repeatedly from
May to October 2016.
Three men have been charged over the case so far.
“We still can’t reveal the number of the criminals in this
case as it is under investigation,” Pol Lt Col Kittipoom Tinthalang told
Phuket Gazette.
The mother and daughter were brought to the police thanks
to the help of Chanon Abdullah from the Muslim for Peace Foundation,
Phuket branch.
“It happened about a year ago. When we talked to the girl,
we found that there were not only 3 men involved but about 40 men so we
started helping them filling a lawsuit. The first 3 men have been
charged,” said Chanon.
“After the investigation of the three men, police found
that they later, invited other men from the same village to repeatedly
rape the girl. She was also brought out of the house by the same group
of men and the number of rapists increased. They confessed that they did
it 6 times and the most number of men raping her at the same night was
11 people while other nights were about 5-7 men.”
“The three men always brought her out during the time that her parents were out for work in rubber plantation.”
The girl was threatened that if she says anything, her parents will be in danger.
Meanwhile, a villager from the same village, Somsak Laolang
is calling for police to bring the girl to point out who exactly are
the 40 men as outside people may get scared and stop going to visit the
beach at the village.
