An Omani man who demanded a refund from an underage prostitute
is behind bars after the girl’s aunt was called in to sort out their
dispute.
Majid Mohammed Said Al
Gheilani was arrested for separating a minor from her guardian.
Majid Mohammed Said Al Gheilani, 50, was charged with
separating a minor from her guardian May 11 after the girl’s aunt, Lamun
Sidachomphu, was called to Pattaya Police Station to help sort out a
confrontation between the Omani and her niece.
The teenager told police Al Gheilani had picked her up on Beach Road
five days earlier, offering her 1,000 baht a day for a month to stay
with him. After five days, however, the Omani had a change of heart and
demanded the return of 2,000 baht cash and a 2,750 baht mobile phone he
had bought for her.
The girl refused and the argument ended up before police. The girl
contacted her aunt, who insisted Al Gheilani be charged with taking the
underage girl. She then feigned ignorance of what her niece had been
doing, asking why a hotel would allow a minor to go to the Omani’s hotel
room.
Gheilani claimed he didn’t know the girl was 17 and put up a defiant
front, telling police he wasn’t afraid to be jailed. The police took him
at his word and locked him up.
