An escalating spat over alleged sexual molestation at a massage parlour in Chiang Mai‘s Wualai district has taken a new twist. The accused masseuse, along with the owner of the establishment, retaliated, filing a police complaint against the young male client and the creator of the Facebook post that spurred the initial allegation. They claim the online account was a distortion of the actual events, causing damage to their business reputation.
On July 7, a post appeared on Facebook stating that a young man had been sexually assaulted by a transgender masseuse while availing of a traditional Thai massage. The client, according to the post, took offence and responded by kicking the masseuse in the face. The post claimed the massage owner had refused to accept responsibility, instead advising the complainant to report the matter to the police.
