A local fisherman has been arrested after allegedly raping a 14-year-old girl in Mueang Chonburi.
The Sanesuk Police was notified of the incident at 9:30 P.M. earlier this week, March 4th, in the Angsila sub-district.
The suspect, Mr. Kietnarong ‘Lek’ Rombhuddhasartsana, had already been caught by other residents performing a citizen’s arrest before Sanesuk police arrived.
The 14-year-old girl, whose name was withheld, told Sanesuk police that she was waiting for her boyfriend near a local beach.
The suspect reportedly put her in a headlock before successfully raping her at a small pavilion on the beach, seen in the photo above.
The girl then sped away on her motorbike before asking for help from local residents.
The local residents went to the scene and discovered the suspect was still in the vicinity. The suspect was reportedly beaten by the locals while trying to escape.
The suspect claimed to Sanesuk police that the girl consented to sex and that he did not rape her.
Sanesuk Police have yet to identify what charges will be pressed against the suspect, although the suspect was detained and remains in a local jail. Law Enforcement continues to investigate the alleged act.
