A supposed tattoo artist is facing charges after allegedly raping a 17-year-old prospective customer in Jomtien Beach.

The girl was taken to the Dongtan Beach police box March 22 by the father of the alleged rapist, identified only as “Safe”. Both reported the father was so angry he had beaten his son with a broomstick, but the youth had holed up inside their house as an angry mob showed up to get him.

The incident began when the girl saw the advertisement from Safe on Facebook for a tattoo. She contacted him and asked him to pick her up to bring her to his studio. Instead, he took her to the family home where he raped her, the girl claimed.

She screamed and fought back and Safe’s parents, at home at the time, rescued her following the assault.

Once her family was notified, her uncle and about 10 youths mobbed the alleged rapist’s house and police were called.
