PATTAYA: A man has been arrested for allegedly raping his 5-year-old stepdaughter, who was left in his care after the death of her mother. The 39-year-old, wanted on a court warrant on charges of sexually assaulting a girl under 13 years, was apprehended in front of Pattaya City Hospital on Tuesday night. A Pattaya school teacher earlier took the girl, a 5-year kindergartener, to file a complaint with Provincial Police Region 2’s children, women and family protection centre. The suspect told police he worked as a motorcycle-taxi driver in Pattaya and had lived with the girl’s mother. He said he earlier took the girl to a hospital after she was injured falling down some stairs.
