Education Minister Trinuch Thienthong has ordered authorities to speed up their investigation into the alleged sexual assault of a Prathom five (Grade 5) female student by a boy at a school in Phetchabun province.
The order came in response to reports that the school director had allegedly told the girl, 11, not to talk about the incident to anyone, including her parents. The girl claimed that she was molested by a 12-year-old student in Wichian Buri district on June 21.
