Mother jailed for forcing underage daughters to have sex for money
BANGKOK: -- A Thai Court on Tuesday sentenced a 50-year-old mother to 42 years in jail for forcing her daughter, a minor, into prostitution.
A Briton, Stuart Hargreaves Lloyd, 45, was also sentenced to 21 years in jail after being found guilty of raping minors.
The Court was told that Tim Wongsiri had taught and forced her daughter, aged under 13, and two others girls to have sex with Lloyd and other men between 2004 and 2010 at many places including hotels in Bangkok and Chon Buri.
Both defendants denied the charges. Her daughter and other girls, however, gave verifiable details of the venues, times and payments of the offences.
They informed psychologists that Tim, a former prostitute, threatened to stop sponsoring their tuition unless they had sex with customers.
