TikTok teacher arrested for filming explicit video with underage fan & giving her STDs
Facebook/TeacherLukeRockwell/A viral TikTok teacher has been arrested in Bangkok, Thailand for alleging filming a sex act with a 16-year-old fan and giving her STDs.
Luke Rockwell, a former English teacher at Bangkok Christian College, is being accused of sleeping with a female fan on multiple occasions after reaching out to her on Instagram.
Rockwell, originally from Florida, had grown into quite the TikTok star with millions of followers, and allegedly used his fame to convince the fan to sleep with him while he secretly recorded the acts.
While the Florida man originally told the teen he was clean, he soon stopped using protection, causing the teen to fall ill and eventually led to his arrest.

According to The Daily Star, just three days after Rockwell and the teen had their final sexual encounter, she opened up about the relationship with her mother who took her to the hospital.
Doctors then discovered she had contracted gonorrhea and chlamydia. It wasn’t long after that that the mom filed a complaint with the authorities and police issued a warrant for Rockwell’s arrest.
“The police could not find him still on Friday so they asked if my daughter can lure him out for a meeting and we did that together with police presence while she texted him. And that’s how he was arrested on Saturday,” the girl’s mother revealed.
Earlier this week, Rockwell was released on bail for an undisclosed amount and has since privatized his TikTok account @English_with_teacherluke.
Rockwell is charged with unlawful sex with a minor and recording sex acts. Even though Thailand’s age of consent is 15 in the case of a married couple, it’s illegal to have sexual acts with someone under 18 outside of marriage.
The crime of sex out of wedlock in Thailand is a maximum of five years in jail and a $280 fine.
