An American man has been arrested for allegedly molesting a 12-year-old girl.
George Edward Webb, 62, was apprehended at his Soi Nernplabwan home March 29 by child-protection and human trafficking police. He was charged with sexually assaulting a minor, but denied all charges.
Police claim Webb had on several occasions abused a 12-year-old he’d procured from a Thai woman arrested along with two other foreign customers earlier. After learning of the pimp’s arrest, police allege, Webb panicked, moving and changing his phone number and giving Chonburi Immigration seven false addresses. He allegedly also used several cars fearing he’d be caught.
George Edward Webb is led away from his house to face charges he repeatedly molested a 12-year-old girl.
Searching his house, police found five motorbikes, a truck and a car.

He supposedly owned a bicycle parts manufacturing company in the United States, but turned over the business to his children when he retired and moved to Thailand.
