Bangkok - Thai police have arrested a 90-year-old Australian man on charges of raping and molesting four underaged girls in the northern city of Chiang Mai, police said Wednesday.

The Australian, identified by Chiang Mai police Lieutenant Colonel Prawit Choosri as Joseph Kraus Karl, was arrested on Tuesday. He has denied the charges, police said.

Parents of the four allegedly abused girls, aged from 7 to 14, accused Karl of using sweets and money to lure the minors to his home where they claimed he sexually abused them on several occasions between July 2008 and June this year.

Pornographic photos and videos were found in Karl's home in Chiang Mai.

"Despite his age he still seems to have the desire, although we don't know whether he could act on it," Prawit said. "But under Thai law any form of penetration is considered rape."

90....bugger me.

Just imagine family at home reading this........"Mum...great grandad is on the news again"

I was gong to comment, but words simply fail me.........

Wow. He probably doesn't give a crap cos he's so ancient.

I'd like to wait to see if he is being setup before I condemn the man. I mean seriously a guy of *Ninety*, I've never heard of that before.

Sounds like a set up.
I'd like to know if he has any money.
And if he's ninety then perhaps he's been doing this years.
Didn't get caught until now?

Wont last long inside at his age.

It does all sound a bit suss. At 90 it might just be better to pay up to his accusers rather than fight it.

Australian Pedophile Arrested for Rape of a Minor in Chiangmai | Pattaya Daily News - Pattaya Newspaper, Powerful news at your fingertips


Chiangmai police arrest a 90 year old Australian for child pornography and indecent acts of rape on a minor.

Pattaya 30th June 2010[PDN] Police Colonel Klitthaphon Yeesakhorn ( Doi Saket Police Superintendent, Chiangmai) held a search warrant in order to raid a suspect’s house, 144/2, Moo2, Maekhue, Chiangmai and arrest an Australian National Mr. Crousekarl Josep [90]. The suspect was alleged to have acted indecently, raping a child under 15 years old. The officer searched the house to find 500 photos of naked girls and 2 dildos among other untoward information on the computer that was impounded for evidence. The suspect was taken to the police station while denying all allegations.



This case came to light after a report was made on 17th June by Mr. Ek (alias), stating that 4 of his children had been indecently assaulted and raped by Mr. Josep. The victim’s father claimed that his daughters: Miss A [14], Miss B [12], Miss C [13], and Miss D [7] were deceived by the offender from September 2009 – December 2009, enticing them to his home before committing indecent acts with them. Mr. Josep again enticed them on the 14th of June 2010 where after committing further indecent acts, he then raped Miss A.
When his children returned home, Mr. Ek found that Miss A was extremely unhappily and quiet which eventually prompted him to ask her what was wrong.



Police Colonel Klithaphon Yeesakhorn stated that the victims were sent to hospital for a medical to examination. Subsequently the officer received the warrant to arrest the offender although he constantly denied the accusations.
All the evidence pointed to Mr. Josep guilt, who is believed to have forwarded the photos to his friends abroad.

Hmmmmm.........
Still think there is more to this.

If he did it, bang the bastard up. Regardless of age. But................

The porn and the dildos' is a bit damming.

Fok me dead, 90 years old.

Wait and see how it develops but I really hope it is a stitch up, if only for the kids sake.

2 ways to look at it, I hope it's not a stitch up, I'd hate to see someone go through this humiliation, especially at 90 years old if they did not deserve it.

I wonder if he's actually mentally aware enough to understand what's going on?

Yes, he is. If you watch the video on the PDN website, he's sitting in the police station and uses his cane to push the dildos away or try to hide them.
