Nathaphop Boonthongtho, 51, was accompanied by his lawyer to Bua Yai district station as he answered charges of sexual harassment, sexually abusing a minor and depriving a girl of parental care. The man, who is believed to have been in a relationship with the girl, reserved the right to testify in court. Panel members also visited Wat Ban Patong Tha Neon Samakkhee School in Nakhon Ratchasima's Bua Yai district to speak to witnesses and compile evidence, according to a source. The Teachers Council of Thailand has also sent a team to Bua Yai district to gather information as it decides whether to revoke his teacher and school executive licences, the source added. The other suspect in the sexual harassment case is a Mathayom 3 student who formerly dated the girl.
