Bangkok police arrested an Israeli man for allegedly secretly filming sexual encounters with Thai women, reportedly after sedating them with cake.
A Thai woman was also detained in the same raid, found with crystal methamphetamine and drug paraphernalia, suggesting involvement in drug trafficking.
The Israeli suspect allegedly lured women via a dating app, offered them cake potentially laced with sedatives, and recorded their encounters without consent.
Authorities discovered the Israeli man had overstayed his visa by 2,095 days; he denied drug ownership and reportedly threatened arresting officers.
