A German man claiming to be a well-connected police volunteer and
translator was arrested for allegedly molesting and photographing underage
girls, impersonating a police office and overstaying his visa for seven
years.
German Pascal Conner has been
arrested and charged with sexual assault of minors under the age of 15,
possession of child pornography and immigration offenses.
Pattaya Tourist Police raided the Pradapyan Apartments on
Soi Nokkhao in Central Pattaya Aug. 10, allegedly finding 32-year-old Pascal
Conner naked in bed with a 13-year-old girl. He had been reported to police
by disgusted neighbors.
A subsequent search of the room uncovered five memory cards with
pornographic photos of Conner having sexual relations with other underage
girls, as well as a sex video of him with the girl detained at the scene.
Police said Conner, at first, tried to escape arrest by claiming he worked
for a high-ranking Chonburi police superintendent and that he was a
translator for a government agency.
In fact, police discovered his police volunteer identification cards were
fake and he had no passport or visa for the past seven years.
He was charged with impersonating a Royal Thai Police officer, possession of
child pornography and suspected sexual assault of minors under the age of
15, as well as immigration charges.
