Thailand’s MP Chaiyamparwaan Manpianjit reported to police in Chiang Mai on Tuesday to deny the charges against him in connection with a 25-year-old Chinese tourist who had allegedly raped a Japanese tourist.
The plaintiff claimed that on January 9, the MP sexually assaulted her at a motel in Chiang Mai. The Chiang Mai Provincial Court issued an arrest warrant after she complained to the authorities.
Mr. Chaiyamparwaan met with the assistant commander, Pol Col Damnoen Kan-ong, and analytical officers when he arrived at the Chiang Mai municipal police station with his attorney.
He later told investigators that since this was his first encounter with the authorities in Chiang Mai, he did no know all the details about the expenses.
The director of the Chiang Mai municipal police station, Pol Col Prachya Tisla, explained that officials were unable to prosecute the Thai Progressive Party MP at this time because the legislature is in treatment.
But, congress may choose to raise his resistance and let his imprisonment when it discusses the topic on Thursday, said the superintendent.
Additionally, Pol Col Prachya vehemently refuted statements that officers demanded a 400, 000-baht pay to cut the cost.
Pol Sub Lt Arpath Sukhanunth, secretary-general of the House of Representatives, stressed that although Mr Chaiyamparwaan has acknowledged the command, congress may also vote on whether to let his trial.
