Man in Thailand, 38, arrested after repeatedly asking his mother, 57, for sex

A 38-year-old man in Bangkok, Thailand, was arrested after sexually harassing his mother over text while high on drugs, reported Bangkok Post.

The mother, 57, had asked for help from Gun Jompalang, a Thai influencer with around 10 million followers, who shed light into her issue in several Facebook posts, which had gone viral.

Man told neighbours he and his mother were married

Chat records between the mother and son posted online showed the man repeatedly asking her for sex, even suggesting that they go to a hotel.

The messages also contained suggestive content such as the son saying that his mother "hasn't had sex in many years", and that he had "seen everything already".

Bangkok Post reported that Gun had claimed the man told neighbours that he and his mother were a married couple.

In a home inspection conducted by Gun with police officers on Tuesday (Jun. 2), multiple small holes were found in the bathroom wall and were believed to have been made deliberately for spying purposes.

Son was allegedly high on drugs

The mother eventually lodged a complaint with authorities under Gun's guidance.

According to Thai media outlet Khaosod, the mother was worried about her safety and her son's wellbeing, as his behaviour had grown more disturbing, violent, and was also hallucinating at times.

She also shared that her son had been taking drugs since he was 17.

During police questioning, the man allegedly admitted to sending a text message asking his mother to have sex with him.

He appeared to be hallucinating and speaking incoherently after being arrested, according to the police, and he had admitted to using methamphetamine on Wednesday morning.

The man has been charged with sexual harassment, and is facing up to two years in jail, or a fine of up to 40,000 baht (S$1,570) or both, if convicted.
