Does anyone feel that 20 years isn't a lot for gang raping someone?! So horrific, poor woman

CHIANG MAI — Three Burmese men [pictured seated] were arrested Friday for the alleged rape of an American tourist in Chiang Mai’s Doi Saket district.

Police arrested the construction workers, identified only as Dam, Daeng and Noi, for allegedly gang-raping an American tourist Thursday night.

The tourist, traveling in Chiang Mai with her boyfriend, told police she and her boyfriend were drinking by a grocery store with the three men before she excused herself to the restroom. She said the men followed her and subsequently raped her.

The store owner told police the woman and her boyfriend arrived Thursday night to buy alcohol and drinks. The couple allegedly met the Burmese men at the store.

The woman on Friday was in hospital for a checkup, according to Lt. Col. Suriyan Chansai of Doi Saket Police.

This report says that the third and final sexual assault was witnessed by the victim's friend, but he/she must have also been seriously drunk, not to have wondered or worried what was happening when at first 3 [drunk] guys got up from the table and followed the woman into the bushes.
However, the three suspects have been identified, so now it's up to Thai justice.
