Еще 7 июля, сразу после ареста Плетнева в Паттайе, The New York Times сообщила, что мамаша мальчика заявление подала аж еще в АПРЕЛЕ.
Lt. Col. Omsin Sukkanka, an investigator with the Children and Women’s Protection Center in Pattaya, said the police opened an investigation in April after they were approached by the boy, his mother and members of a nongovernmental organization.
“The child said he was raped by the Russian,” Colonel Omsin said Wednesday in an interview.
The police had obtained photographs of Mr. Pletnev traveling with the boy but said none were sexual in nature. “They seemed to have had a close relationship,” Colonel Omsin said.
