On May 22, 2569, Col. Natthasak Chaowanat, commander of the investigation team, led a joint operation involving officers from multiple divisions including the Traffic Police, the Cyber Crime Police, the Technology Crime Division, and investigators from Ban Du Police Station. They arrested 24-year-old Sarram (surname withheld), who was wanted under arrest warrant No. 329/2569 from Chiang Rai Provincial Court issued on April 24, 2569. He faces charges of committing indecent acts against a person over 15 years old using force and breaking into a residence at night.

The arrest occurred at a rental house in Moo 15, Yang Hom Subdistrict, Khun Tan District, Chiang Rai Province, after police learned the suspect was hiding in the area. When officers arrived and identified him matching the warrant, they presented it and took him into custody. The suspect admitted to being the person named in the warrant and had no prior arrests in this case. He was transferred to Ban Du Police Station for legal proceedings.

The case stems from an incident on July 31, 2568, when an 18-year-old female victim reported to police that while resting in her dormitory room in Ban Du Subdistrict, Mueang Chiang Rai District, a man hid behind her room before forcing his way in and attempting sexual assault. She fought back and escaped to seek help from other residents, while the suspect fled into the darkness.

Investigators reviewed CCTV footage and conducted field work, identifying a suspect living in the same dormitory who hastily moved belongings out after the incident. Upon obtaining a court warrant and examining the suspect's phone, officers discovered numerous photos and videos of the victim. The suspect confessed to secretly following and photographing her for an extended period before deciding to break into her room that night.

Investigators are continuing to examine additional data on the phone and investigating whether other victims may be involved, with further legal action to follow.
