An 80-year-old woman in Phatthalung province of Thailand has allegedly been raped by a man ‘attracted to her since his youth’ on July 21.
According to AsiaOne, the aged woman has been given a saline injection and instructed to rest in bed at home.
The victim told local reporters she was selling steamed sticky rice stuffed with banana when a man about 50 years of age arrived and started ‘sweet-talking’ her.
He is said to have told her he had been attracted to her since his youth when they were neighbours.
The man reportedly told her he would like to buy all her steamed sticky rice but that she had to go with him to deliver the desserts to his relative’s home. She agreed, for they were worth Bt2,000 ($90).
On the way, he took a desolate route and stopped at a house that was only half built. She then realised his true intentions but attempts to flee failed.
The aged woman revealed that after the man had his way with her, he took away her purse.
Her relatives are now demanding that the police arrest the man as soon as possible.
On Tuesday, Police said they have collected footage from surveillance cameras and are interrogating witnesses for more clues, which will hopefully lead to the man’s arrest
