The suspects allegedly tried to extort money from the woman and two of them forced her to have sex with them in exchange for her release last Saturday. The three men denied the accusation of extortion and rape but admitted to being the men filmed by the apartment’s CCTV footage. The woman and her friend were then allegedly detained at a Pattaya motel where they were threatened and told to pay the money. After she gave them Bt2,700 in cash, the two suspects allegedly coerced her into having sex with each of them in exchange for her release. The three men are therefore charged for illegal detention, extortion and gang rape, he said adding that police would object their bail release when presenting them for a court-issued detention order later.
