Teen girl pregnant after four years of rape, police told

A teen girl says she is pregnant after being subjected to four years of rape at the hands of five men.

The girl, 16, said she knew all of the men, which included her stepfather, step-uncle, two older neighbors, and most recently, a young male neighbor, who she believes is the father of the baby after he raped her several months ago.

An Uttaradit provincial official’s insistence she have an abortion, she said, prompted the girl to seek help yesterday from the provincial deputy governor with her grandmother, who has raised her since her parents passed away.

According to Khao Sod, the girl said she was given THB200 by the men each time she was raped, and was also threatened with death if she spoke of the incidents.

The suspected father later became a monk, but was later discharged for drug use.

Her grandmother said she only knew of the rapes Sunday after a local official tried to convince the teen to have an abortion to avoid embarrassing their tambon.

The deputy governor, Somchai Kamolthepthewin, assured the grandmother that the girl’s case would be fairly investigated, and that she would be cared for at a shelter.
