Pattaya Tourist Police following investigations that the sexual services of a young boy were being sold to a foreign tourist at a room in the NN Apartment have charged two Thai men with pimping.

Officers entered the premises at 8 p.m. on April 12 where they found Anant Udtangkhai, 37, a resident of Nan province and a man identified by the pseudonym of A leading a boy out of the room by the hand. They were taken to Pattaya Tourist Police headquarters for questioning.

 

Anant and A were charged with selling a boy under 15 years of age for sex.

 

Wee (a pseudonym), 12, told officers that Anant took him to Room 202 of the apartment to sell sexual favors to a Norwegian man later identified as Bjarne Gunnar Ugulen, age 67. The boy performed a sexual service for which the Norwegian afterwards handed him a 500 baht banknote, and the two men came to pick him up on their motorcycle. Police arrested them as they were walking out of the room.

Anant and A denied that they had taken the boy to provide sexual favors and had only come to pick the lad up, but police did not believe them as the boy?s statement was clear and there was also the question of the 500 baht.

The two were charged with selling a boy under 15 years of age for sex. Police will request the courts for an arrest warrant for Ugulen. The boy has been handed over to the Women and Children?s Foundation.
