Chuwit cleared of sex service charges

 

The Court of Appeals acquitted massage parlour tycoon Chuwit Kamolwisit of procuring three underage girls to work as prostitutes in one of his establishments. The court upheld the verdict by the Criminal Court in 2004 which ruled that Mr Chuwit and his Therme Ltd partnership, operators of Honolulu Massage Parlour, could not be held responsible for the sex services provided by the three girls at the parlour.

 

Mr Chuwit was taken to court after the girls sought help from the foundation Pavena Hongsakul, saying they were forced by a man to provide sex services at the parlour. They claimed they had worked for seven months without payment because the man kept it for himself for making them fake identification cards. The court said the girls did not prove that Mr Chuwit and Therme were involved in making them the fake IDs.

"The court also noted Honolulu prohibited its masseuses from having sex with customers, so it did not make sense for them to allege that Chuwit and Therme had forced them into prostitution."

Chuwit got cleared of this charge along time ago. The girls were underaged but had false IDs. Why was this brought up again?

If there is an appeal to a legal decision then inevitably it gets brought up again doesn't it?
