'Sex-offence' teachers charged
The Criminal Court yesterday indicted two schoolteachers on eight counts of sex offences for the alleged rape and molestation of six schoolgirls at a school in Bangkok's Sai Mai district.
Lorn Sorakanit, 56, and Pimol Chunsri, 48, pleaded not guilty to all counts. The court set January 22 for a preliminary hearing. The eight sex offences include statutory rape and sexual molestation. Each count carries heavy penalties as the suspects allegedly committed the crimes against minors. Both suspects were teachers at Pracha Nukool School. The offences are alleged to have taken place on several occasions from June 1 to August 10 this year.
