A British tourist who was arrested for allegedly raping a six-year-old girl in Thailand was reported to police by the child's mother, who he had been in a relationship with, investigators have said.
After locating him using the video evidence provided by the NCA, social media and phone tracing tools, armed police stormed his rented home at the Private Paradise Pattaya condominium block on Tuesday morning, December 3. Officers worked with local cops and tracked Lawrence to the seaside 'Sin City' resort of Pattaya where he was living with a Thai woman
Thailand's Central Investigation Bureau has since issued a warning to Thai women who meet foreign partners through online platforms, specifically cautioning about the risks of pedophilia. The cops in the UK then liaised with officers in Bangkok at the Anti-Trafficking in Persons Division. The Thai police said they analysed the footage and compared it with different locations in Pattaya and social media posts to find Lawrence.
