A man has been arrested after allegedly pretending to be a police officer and then using a dating app to kidnap, assault and rape a 20-year-old woman.
The woman is said to have been held for two days by the man who told her he was a police officer in Nonthaburi province, central Thailand.
The victim, who has been going by the pseudonym Ms A reportedly didn’t have any reason to assume the man was lying given he had a large number of images of himself in a police officer’s uniform – including with a police badge, cuffs and weapons.

She said that on Thursday she headed to his house to collect her bike. He allegedly said he wanted to head out with her, but when she said no he attacked her.
She is understood to have been strangled and beaten but managed to escape, however, he allegedly threatened to beat her up and insisted they met on Saturday.
Ms A lives with her family and she said she begged him not to hurt them – he said if she wanted them to stay safe she would need to do what he said.

After the family threat she went to see him on Saturday but, unlike the previous time, was unable to leave.
She said her phone was out of battery and he prevented her from going to work.
He took her phone and is even alleged to have spoken to her relatives himself.
At one stage, when she tried to get her phone back he punched her in the face.
For two days he is understood to have held her hostage and raped her and it wasn’t until people living on the bottom floor eventually cottoned on and called the police on their upstairs neighbour that her nightmare ended.
Taken to Bang Bua Thong Station it was quickly worked out he had never worked for the police – he was arrested for posing as a police officer online, breaching the Computer Crimes Act (2018).
A urine test on the man came back positive for drugs. His charges have since been bumped up to include illicit drug use, illegal detention, rape, assault, and posing as a police officer.
He was later found to be a security guard, which was how he got hold of his ID.
Bang Bua Thong Police Station called the victim on April 28 who was said to be on a “state of fear.”
