Thailand- Pattaya superintendent arrested an American citizen, on June 8, 2008, who had rented a hotel room in Pattaya to produce porn movies to sell on international websites.

The culprit confessed to hiring bargirls to perform sexual acts on film. The man said that he was only a cameraman, but the producer had fled to Bangkok.

At 6.00pm, on June 8, Pol.Col. Nopadol Wongnom, Pattaya Superintendent, Pol.Capt. Sompop Kuhawan , Kuhawan, Deputy Chief of the International Crime Suppression Center, Chonburi and a police team, declared that they had arrested Mr. Todd Arthur Williams (47), an American citizen, charged with producing porn for sale on websites such as: www.myspace.com, www.amazon.com, www.youtube.com etc.

Police had obtained an arrest warrant to apprehend Mr. Williams, who rented a room at Markland Hotel, Pattaya Soi 1. The evidence confiscated by the police consisted of a notebook computer, 4 CDs showing Pattaya bargirls engaged in sex, a pack of Karmagra pills, a digital camera, 6 male organ sex toys and many more porn pictures.

Pol.Col. Nopadol declared that police investigators had detected that certain foreigners in Pattaya were producing porn movies to publish and sell on Internet websites by using Thai bargirls from Pattaya as a selling point. This created a bad reputation for Pattaya City and the country as a whole, so the International Crime Suppression Centre in Chonburi was commanded to investigate. After due investigation, they succeeded in finding Mr. Todd Arthur Williams (47), an American citizen, one of the culprits.

Mr. Williams was duly arrested with the evidence. Mr. Williams acknowledged that he was the cameraman, but the man who actually produced the porn for sale and also performed sex in the film was Mr. Gary Schmad, who has a residence in Bangkok. Mr. Williams told police they had hired good- looking bargirls who were courageous enough to perform in films, by paying many thousands of Baht per movie. He further confessed that they had been doing it for quite some time. Initially, police charged Mr. Williams with using a computer system to produce pornography and making such information available to the public. Police will also seek another arrest warrant to apprehend Mr. Schmad, the Bangkok porn producer, very soon.
