“It was consensual sex” says Koh Larn jetski operator charged with rape of Japanese tourist

A Koh Larn jetski operator has denied that he raped a Japanese tourist on Saturday saying the sex they had was consensual.

Rattana Harit, 34, was arrested at his lodgings on Sunday and charged with rape, reported Thairath.

The tourist had reported to Pattaya police on Saturday alleging that she had been raped.

Rattana told police that the tourist had rented a jetski and the pair had chatted until they were friendly. They had then gone on a motorcycle trip around the island and stopped for drinks and food.

He said they were drunk and then stopped off at a room on the way and had sex once. But he said that the woman agreed to have sex with him.

He denied rape and said that he would fight the charges in court.
