A British man was arrested for filming and performing sexual acts with young boys and a Thai part-time fortuneteller has been charged with acting as a procurer.

Pattaya Immigration Police raided a room in the Sopa Apartment building in Soi Chalermprakiat, where they arrested British national Andrew Nicholas, age 58, and seized videotapes and a video camera as evidence of his sexual escapades with the children.

The police also arrested and charged Prachuab Arun, manager of the apartment block, who is alleged to have procured boys aged between 12 and 15 for sexual services to foreigners.

Police Colonel Itthipol Itthisarnronachai, superintendent of Pattaya Immigration Police, said that Prachuab, who rents the rooms out for 300 baht, also works as a fortuneteller. He would ask foreigners renting his rooms if they wanted boys for sexual services. The price was 500 baht and Prachuab deducted 100 baht commission from each boy. Police say he got the boys from the South Pattaya pier area where there are a lot of vagrant children.

Three boys stated that Prachuab procured them from the pier for Nicholas to perform sexual acts on them in his room. The boys were said to have already serviced him a total of four times.

Police charged Prachuab with procuring boys under the age of 15 for lewd conduct or forced human traffic. They charged Andrew Nicholas with lewd conduct with boys under 15 either with or without their consent.

Nicholas will be deported from Thailand and blacklisted as an undesirable, forbidden to re-enter the country.
