A Dutchman arrested in Hua Hin for alleged sexual abuse of a child aged 15 or under had been investigated for an alleged similar offence before leaving the Netherlands.
A boy aged about 10 years was with him. Sex toys, eight computers, many memory cards and compact discs were seized. The investigation was being expanded. In his homeland he had allegedly been charged with child molestation, but was not convicted. In Thailand, he had been in the property business for five years. He allegedly played music to lure children into sharing activities with him.
Investigators said he had regularly taken children aged 15 or under to his house. Dutch authorities had asked Thai authorities to collect evidence against him, Pol Col Songsak said.
A representative of the Netherlands Embassy was with the officials during the raid. He warned that child sex abuse was growing in Thailand and other Southeast Asian nations. Foreigners who were released temporarily after such offences in Thailand often repeated them in Cambodia, Myanmar or Vietnam.
