A teenager who befriended a 13-year-old girl through Facebook and later raped her was arrested in Samut Prakan early Saturday, police said.

Pol Capt Ekapol Anupak, of Samut Prakan police, said he received a report at 12.30am that a man had broken into a house in Muang district and raped the house owner's daughter.

The girl's parents told investigators that they had left their daughter at home alone while they went to work at a factory in Bang Pu Industrial estate. After they returned from work at about midnight, they saw their daughter being molested by an intruder.

    I think this is why you teach your kids not to reveal too much on Social networks, and repeat that lesson over and over again till it sinks in.

    If he likes rape he's gonna love prison.

    In Asia, people don't take the crime of raping seriously, especially involving with minors. That's why a lot of foreigners go to Thailand, Cambodia etc. to exploit them.

    In the US, this man could be sent to jail for 30 yrs.

    The rapist here is a security guide at a factory.Security guards make about 8000 baht a month. Remember that bail is an exclusive privilege for the well-heeled, upper-class and well-connected murderers and rapists in this beautiful country.

    His crime is absolutely wrong, but what about that sign with name, address and age?

    Out on bail in a few weeks... you want to bet? This is how dysfunctional Thai justice system is...

    Castration and life imprisonment for all rapists.

    Put him away for the rest of his miserable life, something they should do with all rapists.
