A 16 year old Sattahip high school student was riding her motorbike home in the early hours of the morning when she was seized by a pervert who kidnapped her and raped her in a nearby cassava field.
Plutaluang police were alerted to the sexual assault when thankfully the rapist returned her to her motorbike and rode off into the night.
The girl told the police that she had spent the evening at a friend's house and was on her way home on highway 331 when a man aged about 40 pulled up alongside her on a Honda Wave motorcycle. He threatened her with a knife and forced her to get on his motorcycle before taking her to a desolate spot and committing the assault.
The girl had no outward signs of injury and was taken to hospital for an examination to take place and to await the arrival of her parents. The police think that the rapist may be a construction worker living at a construction camp in the Huay Yai or Jomtien area and are actively looking for him before he strikes again.
