Gay magazine photos of Sirimongkol Singwancha bring sentencing
Four-time boxing champion Sirimongkol Singwancha was convicted and sentenced by a district court in Thailand for posing nude for the underground gay magazine Heat. He was also fined Bt4,000. The photos of Sirimongkol apparently remained a secret until special police forces raided news stands in Northern Bangkok and thousands of porn magazines and movies were seized. Sirimongkol’s full frontal images in a two-year-old issue of the magazine were discovered.
Sirimongkol claimed the nude shots were never meant for publication and were only "for fun and for them to view in privacy. I regret (it) and I’d like to apologize to everyone. I’m very stressed now and sometimes losing sleep. I hope that I would be forgiven for what I had done," said Sirimongkol. In light of his cooperation the court reduced his fine from Bt6,000 fine to Bt4,000, and suspended his six-month jail term for two years on the condition of good behavior. And yes, in case you're wondering, our friends at Queerclick have the photos here.
