ANG THONG – A man has been arrested on a charge of raping his co-worker’s mentally disabled daughter and impregnating her, police said.
Sao and Bussaba, parents of the 23-year-old victim filed a complaint with police on Wednesday, accusing Sathit (surname withheld), 43, of raping their daughter.
Mr Sao said he had found out that his daughter was six months pregnant. She admitted to having been raped by his colleague several times. She said Sathit threatened to kill her if she told anyone.
Mr Sao said he confronted the man, who admitted to having raped his daughter.
“He offered me money for my daughter’s abortion,” the father added.
The suspect was later taken into custody and had admitted to the offence, police said.
Pol Col Anusorn Wayakum, head of Ang Thong police, said the suspect had offered to take care of the woman and the unborn child.
However, the parents said they would seek financial compensation and pursue legal action against the suspect for taking advantage of their mentally disabled daughter.
