Chonburi Man Arrested for Long-Term Abuse of Daughter
A 45-year-old man has been arrested and denied bail in Chonburi following allegations of sexually abusing his 11-year-old daughter over a four-year period.
On October 20, 2026, authorities in Chonburi province arrested a 45-year-old man on charges of sexually abusing his 11-year-old daughter. According to reports from Khaosod Online, the abuse allegedly began when the child was seven years old. The case came to light after the girl’s mother, who had separated from the suspect seven years ago, sought assistance from the Pavena Foundation for Children and Women.
The mother reported that the suspect, who had previously served time for drug-related offenses, would occasionally take the child to his home in the same sub-district. The victim reportedly expressed her trauma in a message to her mother, questioning why she had to endure such suffering. Following the complaint, the Pavena Foundation coordinated with the Phanat Nikhom Police Station to facilitate the legal process. Police Colonel Thammarat Akkarachaipong, Superintendent of Phanat Nikhom Police, confirmed that the suspect has been detained and denied bail.
For residents and visitors, this case highlights the ongoing efforts of local authorities and NGOs to address child protection issues in Thailand. While the suspect is currently in custody, the investigation remains ongoing as police gather further evidence to support the charges. The legal proceedings will continue to determine the final outcome of the case.
