France, the 6th of September 2010: Frenchman Jean-Claude Chamoux was arrested in the Thai resort of Pattaya in 2005 following police investigations into an underage prostitution operation. During the bust, Chamoux was found in the company of an eight-year-old girl who he had just procured for an amount of 20 Euros (Bt800).
Detained in remand following his arrest, Chamoux was inexplicably granted bail by a Thai court, which allowed him to flee the Kingdom. He was later arrested in 2006 in France on other child abuse charges.
In addition to the assault of at least 10 Thai children, Chamoux is being tried on charges that he sexually abused two French girls aged just three and four-years-old. Thai charges are being held in the Paris court after parents of the victims decided to undertake legal proceedings against Chamoux in France.

Chamoux has since admitted his guilt over several of the offences, however in an attempt to mitigate his case he stated that he never had the impression that the girls did not want to comply with his wishes.
Following the arrest of Chamoux in Pattaya, extensive investigations into a ring of paedophiles operating in the popular tourist resort resulted in several busts, namely that of Thai agents operating the illegal prostitution services.
One Thai woman Miss Somjai or Mam Prombut was arrested in 2009, almost 4 years after Chamoux’s arrest. Miss Somjai is accused of being the main agent in an illegal underage prostitution ring largely servicing foreign clientele.
Despite denying all allegations, Miss Somjai was linked with numerous dealings involving Chamoux and several other foreign tourists believed to have been visiting Pattaya with the specific intent of engaging in sexual acts with underage girls.
A verdict is expected to be handed down in Chamoux’s case on the 10th of September 2010.

Name calling is not in my interest.
Robert: Yes, but the authorities seem to promote this behaviour in a backhanded way, letting these people go after paying fines. It happens over and over here. Ironically, Mr. Petnev the Russian seems to be getting a rough going over by the courts in comparison to most child molesters here.
He then needs to be rolled in salt and left in the sun to dry, when dry he needs to be put in a bath of vinegar for two hours.
This process then needs to be carried out again every day for the rest of his life.
Miss Somjai is a true money maker for others in high places. She should have been in jail a long time ago but that will not happen anytime soon. What a sad joke this place is selling their children and people for sex at the same time saying its illegal and that includes bar hos. Sodom and Gemorrah at its finest, again?
And the TAT promotes this dirty rotten place. Any Farang walking the streets here is automatically a twisted suspect sex addict, one way or another. Shame, shame!
Can't wait to get the hell outta this filthy, dangerous and immoral place.
