Police arrested and detained a 45-year-old biological father for allegedly raping his 11-year-old daughter since she was 7. The heartbroken mother discovered chat messages; the child, unable to endure the suffering, wrote to vent her pain, asking her mother, "What bad karma did I commit to have a father like this?"
On October 20, 2026, Pavena Hongsakul, president of the Pavena Foundation for Children and Women, disclosed progress in the case. A 40-year-old woman from Chonburi sought help from the foundation, reporting that her 11-year-old daughter had been raped by her biological father, aged 45, her ex-husband, for four years. The couple had separated seven years earlier; the father had previously been imprisoned for drug offenses and was released about five years ago. Because both families lived in the same subdistrict, the ex-husband would take the child for visits.
Pavena stated that after receiving the complaint, she coordinated with Pol. Lt. Col. Thammarat Akkhachaiyaphong, superintendent of Panat Nikhom Police Station, Chonburi, and Pol. Lt. Col. Nanthaphon Nai-inbun, deputy superintendent (investigation). Foundation staff then accompanied the mother and daughter to file a report. Police sent the girl for a medical examination and scheduled a multidisciplinary interview for October 19.
Latest reports from Pol. Lt. Col. Thammarat indicate investigators apprehended the father for questioning; a urine test detected drugs in his system. He faces charges of drug use and raping a child under 13 who is his descendant. He has been remanded to Chonburi Provincial Court with bail opposed.
Pavena thanked Pol. Lt. Col. Thammarat, Pol. Lt. Col. Nanthaphon, and Panat Nikhom police for their swift action. The foundation will coordinate with the Rights and Liberties Protection Department, Ministry of Justice, for victim compensation, and with Dr. Thanu Khwandech, secretary-general of the Basic Education Commission, Ministry of Education, to arrange a school transfer for the girl. The foundation will continue assisting the mother and daughter and coordinating psychological rehabilitation with the Ministry of Social Development and Human Security.
Pavena added that the case is heartbreaking. The daughter messaged her mother saying she did not want to stay at her father's house, could no longer endure the abuse since age 7, was threatened with death if she told anyone, and was denied pocket money. "What bad karma did I commit to have a father like this?" she wrote. The mother was devastated and determined to pursue the case to the fullest extent.
