Court issues warrant for CEO over alleged rape of actressThe Criminal Court has issued a warrant for the arrest of Aphidit Intulaksana, a company CEO and relative of a late former foreign minister, in a case where he is accused of raping and molesting an actress, after he failed to show up to hear the ruling on Wednesday. Mr Aphidit's absence prompted the judge to order the confiscation of his 1-million-baht surety, reschedule the ruling to Sept 20, and issue an arrest warrant. The actress said that even though she wasn't fit to appear in court in person on Wednesday, she forced herself to come while the alleged rapist didn't show up. "The arrest warrant issued should help expedite everything. "Stop running away, cooperate with the court proceedings, and admit your crime so this case will end," she said on Tuesday.
