After actress Kristine Kulsatree Misaralski reported being sexually harassed by a male rescue worker who took advantage of the moment when the condominium security guard went downstairs to open the door for police. The assault occurred while she was lying in her condo waiting to go to the hospital, unable to get up or defend herself.
Before Kristine went to meet investigators at Khlong Tan Police Station to submit evidence—the pajamas she wore on the day of the incident—she spent over four hours giving her statement. Afterwards, she spoke to the media again about the case, also refuting the rescue worker’s claim that he was merely performing CPR.
Could you walk us through the timeline?
“I’ve already shared all the details. The timeline is exactly as I’ve described. To avoid misunderstandings, I want to clarify the incident did not happen at the hospital but in my condo unit. The first person to come to help was, as I now know, a former rescue worker. I won’t specify the area since he still has connections there, but he no longer works in that location.
To get straight to the point, it happened very quickly—no more than five minutes. At that time, Mr. Kowit, the security guard who manages everything at the condo, went down to open the door for police. He could do that because it wasn’t the first time. I confirm I was fully conscious throughout.
People might wonder why, if I was fully aware, I didn’t do anything. I’ve explained that I had taken medication. Anyone with depression or panic disorder would understand. That day, I also took allergy medicine. Many factors combined—I was conscious but not fully physically capable, as the medication made me very drowsy and ready to fall asleep. He took advantage of that brief moment.”
I’m grateful to myself, though I wouldn’t say I was lucky. I was lucky only insofar as he didn’t do more. I confirm there was no penetration. But was it severe? Yes. Being stripped of my clothes without consent, by a stranger I didn’t know—that alone was horrible and deeply painful. It shouldn’t have happened.
I was in an abnormal state, still needing medical help, yet I was forced to be naked. That alone was enough. Did it go further? Yes, there was also unwanted touching on various parts of my body. I knew I couldn’t fight back, so I tried to stay as composed as possible.”
You confirm he did not perform CPR?
“Definitely no CPR.”
What about the photos he took of you?
“I won’t confirm that because I don’t want to accuse anyone falsely. But I was conscious and believe what I saw. Even without hearing shutter sounds or seeing a flash, the fact that he used his phone like that suggests it was probably photos. I don’t know what else or why he pointed his phone there.”
I wanted to stand up and fight, but I couldn’t. Even with police present, I wanted to speak up, but my body was weakened by prescribed medication for depression and panic disorder, plus allergy medicine that day. The combination caused an overdose effect, making me very drowsy.”
Do you wonder why this happened to you?
“I do. When you ask for rescue or first aid help, you expect to be assisted. I sympathize with those who sincerely work to help others because there are many good rescue workers. But after this, I believe stronger measures are needed.”
“I want to stress that in emergencies when someone is alone, before letting anyone in, at least check their ID or credentials to confirm they are genuine rescue or medical personnel. After my experience with this impostor, I realize how damaging it is to those who do this profession earnestly. This incident has harmed me mentally and also damaged the reputation of rescue workers.”
“I was very scared when he seemed about to close the door. If he had, I told myself I wouldn’t care anymore whether I could endure it or not—I would just try to survive. If I had been raped when I was seeking medical help, I don’t think I could have handled it. At that moment, I was praying for someone to come quickly. I didn’t want it to escalate further.”
Kristine ended by thanking the police, saying she feels somewhat relieved but still remains wary when sleeping. She affirms her wish for the perpetrator to be caught quickly because what happened to her should never happen to anyone else.
