A 30-year-old French tourist was arrested in Thailand with her 7-year-old son for slapping a shopkeeper suspected of sexually abusing her son.
Hkaira Preynat, a resident of Seine-Saint-Denis, experienced a real nightmare when she tried to return to France after a summer vacation on the tourist island of Koh Samui.
The 30-year-old, a hairdresser by profession, went to a grocery store to have a coffee and discovered that she no longer had the keys to her hotel room, Le Parisien reported on Tuesday.
1 minute 10 later (we calculated the time using security cameras) my son comes back completely shocked and explains to me that the man in the supermarket put him on his knees, massaged his back, then touched his penis and forced him to touch him.

His son then suggested that she check if she had forgotten them at the supermarket and that is where the sexual assault occurred as the little boy came back to his mother upset for him. Tell us what he had just experienced.
“He explained to me that the man in the grocery store made him sit on his knees, massaged his back, then touched his penis and forced him to touch his,” the young woman said on X (formerly Twitter).
In anger, the mother stormed into the store where she discovered the man completely naked behind his counter before punching him and knocking over his counter.
Following that altercation, the tourist’s passport was confiscated by authorities after the café owner filed a complaint of “fighting and damage,” even though she was the first to file a complaint against her son’s alleged attacker.
Faced with this legal mess, the tourist was forced to extend her stay for more than a month, tantamount to additional costs, before her hearing on Thursday and the court fined her about $190.
