He wasn't in a Thailand Jail. He was arrested at an 'apartment' in a hotel that is notorious for sexual exploits.
"He wasn't in a Thailand Jail. He was arrested at an 'apartment' in a hotel that is notorious for sexual exploits."
That is correct.
However he was and is still facing a long prison term in a Bangkok prison. If his admission is discovered to be a hoax, then I hope he gets sent back to Bangkok for trial, but I assume that the ACLU will get involved and demand that he not be extradicted back to Thailand.
