A Nan Province man was arrested for allegedly pimping out boys under
age 15 for foreigners.
Arnon Udthangkho, 44, was apprehended on South Road Dec. 18 after being
under investigation for some time. Police alleged he was luring street kids
with easy money and selling them off to foreign pedophiles.
None of the victims reported him to police. Police discovered his alleged
activities through their established network of informants. He was charged
with human trafficking, pimping, pandering and separating minors from their
parents.
Women and Children’s Protection Center police said Arnon confessed to all
charges. Investigators hope his interrogation will lead to the name of
foreign pedophiles who utilized his service.
