An Appeals court in  Southern Thailand has upheld a lower court sentenced of a former administrative organization chief in Phangnga to 50 years in prison. The appeals court also ordered him to pay 2.5 million baht in compensation to two minors.

Athiwat Niammeesri the head of Children, Youth and Family Foundation’s legal department, said on Monday that Mr. Suppasak Pokbut was sentenced to 50 years in prison for sexual assaults.

He was charged with the abduction of minors from their parents, sexual assault and rape of two minors. The victims were 13 and 15 years old when he molested them.

According to the judge who first tried the case, Mr. Suppasak committed 94 offences against the two girls from June 2016 to June 2019.
