A 33-year-old Briton has been jailed along with two Thai cashiers for 21 twenty-one years and six months on charges of human trafficking, sex-trafficking, and putting a 16-year-old girl into prostitution in Thailand.
The trial and sentences followed a police raid in early 2023 on the Flirt Bar, one of nearly thirty bars of the Night Wish Group in the Thai resort of Pattaya run by a British former electrician Bryan Flowers, known as ‘Professor Monger’.
“He tried to sell me a virgin. Managers were like a pack of hyenas’
The jail sentences come just ten days after a disenfranchised co-owner of the Night Wish Group told another court that Bryan Flowers was running a a sex trafficking organisation. He told the woman judge at Pattaya Criminal Court that he had been offered a virgin by Flowers, which he had turned down. He had earlier described managers as being like a ‘pack of hyenas’ when ‘farm fresh meat’ – potential sex workers – came in from the provinces. Most recruits quit within a month.
Ar Bangkok Criminal Court Briton William Reece Bilton, 33, from Barrow-in-Furness, Cumbria, was jailed for 21 years and six months for human trafficking, sex trafficking and putting a 16-year-old girl known as ‘Cartoon’ out to foreigners for prostitution. He was also fined 30,000 Thai baht (£681)) for breaking Thailand’s labour laws and advertising the 16-year-old on the bar’s Facebook page, and the Telegram App.
He had been caught on video giving the price for taking away the 16-year-old.
The two Thais cashiers were also jailed for 21 years with similar fines on the same trafficking charges.

Flowers’ Thai wife, Punippa Flowers, who could be seen frequently with her husband in pictures in the local media greeting senior city officials and police officers bearing gifts, was also jailed, but only for three years, and also fined 30,000 Thai baht (£681).
She was found guilty of running an illegal sex business and unregistered company, but she was found not guilty on the trafficking charges. This was a departure from normal procedure in Thailand where the owners of the establishments where offences are committed are deemed responsible and held to account.
The disenfranchised major investor in the Night Wish Group, Adam Howell, supported the convictions but described Bilton and the Thai cashiers at ‘patsies’ who were taking the rap for others higher up. The 16-year-old had already been photographed by Flowers’ NWG photographer and put up on Facebook, he said.
Everybody was working under the orders of Bryan Flowers, who had told him and all investors that he had paid off police with 11.5 million baht. (£261,165).in this case. Howell had previously made fraud and sex trafficking allegations to police and provided documents from within the Night Wish Group.
“This is only a partial victory, but a step in the right direction,” he said. “I expect Bilton to run.”

The news of the jailing of Bilton, Punippa Flowers and the Night Wish Group cashiers has been suppressed in the resort where 43-year-old Flowers, from Chapelfields, Coventry, runs his bars with rooms for sex, in a downmarket red-light area of Pattaya known as Soi 6. and a series of online newspapers.
His flagship online news outlet is the Pattaya News, which publishes in English and Thai and is occasionally trawled by British tabloids for crime and Brits in trouble stories. Being a news publisher, he has declared in a YouTube video, gives him a weapon against his enemies and protection from the press.
Sex trafficked 16-year-old described as ‘pre-adult hooker’ by British radio newscaster in Pattaya
Only a local radio station ‘Fabulous Pattaya 103’ run by another Briton Tom Robson has carried the news, but, on air, Tom Robson, did not name the guilty parties or company and described the 16-year-old as a ‘pre-adult hooker’ saying the station would be closely monitoring the comments on its You Tube Channel out of respect for the children of the guilty women. (Video starts at 3.02)
Punippa Flowers, nicknamed Dun
Robson seemed to echo the words of Bryan Flowers, who in a voice mail described the 16-year-old as a ‘f…g whore who had had sex with hundreds of men!’
The bar was actually registered by Punippa Flowers in her brother’s name, the court heard, but he only appeared when licences had to be renewed. The court found that she was the owner of the business as the cash sales of drinks and sex workers went into her bank account.
The arrest and later trial led to a dozen Brits fleeing their jobs as managers of Flowers’ bars where they worked illegally without work permits. They were also in Thailand on education visas obtained through a Thai kick-boxing school, the Rage Fight Academy, also owned by Flowers.
Also jailed for 21 years six months with Bilton were the Thai Flirt Bar cashier Jaranya ‘Kwang’ Keepair, and Saifon ‘Fon’ Khanyanyiam, who was a group a group cashier and recruiter for the Night Wish Group.
But Flowers’ wife, Punippa Flowers, received only a three-year prison sentence for running an illegal business supporting illegal sex work and running an unregistered company.
Flowers freely admits running all his sex businesses illegally in the names of Thai nominees to avoid going to jail if anything went wrong. And he has been able to avoid checks on nominee companies made by the Ministry of Commerce.
From Police file: Message from Bryan Flowers who was concerned about closer scrutiny following Flirt Bar raid.
Whistleblower Adam Howell, 43zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz, who had invested 15 million Thai baht, some £340,650, in the Night Wish Group has made formal complaints to local police alleging fraud by Fowers and the Night Wish Group’s second in command, Australian Scott Schulz, from Melbourne.
Flowers, he claimed, had refused to return his investment after failing to pay dividends for four years.
Schulz as managing director of the New Dawn Fund ran a Bitcoin fraud from within the Night Wish Group, which was shut down by the Australian Securities and Investment Commission. Howell said he had been persuaded to invest in a second Bitcoin scam by Schulz and was taken for 100,000 Euros.
In these complaints Howell, from Saanichton, British Columbia, also formally accused Flowers and the Night Wish Group of being involved in sex trafficking and provided police links to an unlisted video in Thai and English, and records of Facebook messages and voicemails from Flowers.
These messages alleged that Flowers freely admitted paying off immigration and city police officials to run his business as he liked, even to the point of getting permission to hire sex workers from poverty-stricken Laos.
“Say ‘thank you’ for saving Night Wish Group from trafficking charges”
They also showed Flowers claiming in a memorandum to foreign co-owners that he had successfully steered the the Night Wish Group through several disasters.
Part of a Memorandum to Investors issued December 2023 by Bryan Flowers saying his team should be thanked for saving Night Wish Group from disasters including ‘human trafficking charges’
These disasters included, Covid, the Flirt Bar human trafficking case, a fight with Facebook which had banned him from advertising his sex workers, and another with PayPal, which he claimed had ‘stolen’ 6 million baht (just under US$200,000) which he was due by putting his sex workers on webcams to receive monetary tips.
In relation to the ‘Flirt Bar’ case Howell produced messages describing how Flowers gave a running commentary about how he was meeting with police and judges, finally saying that he had concluded by paying 11.5 million Thai baht ‘down to corrupt police’.
Flowers then sued Howell under Thailand’s Computer Crime Act libel laws over the videos Howell had given to police, and in a curious twist two weeks ago at Pattaya Court Flowers was asked by the judge whether he wished to reconsider continuing his case and consider coming to an arrangement with Howell.
Flowers then said he would pay 1 million baht (£22,700) to Howell if he would apologise on all his social media and withdraw his police complaints. The judge directed that he could not demand any apologies.Howell also rejected the offer.

Asked if he had any evidence of sex trafficking Howell said: “Yes, he tried to sell me a virgin. I refused but the man who took the virgin was the prosecution’s fourth witness.”

Howell showed that the man who took the virgin was Night Wish Group’s Brazilian photographer Fernando Bauab who had earlier given evidence for Flowers to say how damaging the videos were and that many people had seen them.
Howell testified that nobody could see his videos. He had made them to show police. They were on YouTube ‘unlisted’ and could not be found if someone clicked into his site or tried a search. His evidence from YouTube proved it. Nobody had clicked on it, because it was not up on his site, and never was.
“The only person who had made it public was Flowers himself who put the URLs up and also displayed the video on his blogs.”
Judgment will be given in the libel case at Pattaya Criminal Court on August 27th.
In the Flirt bar case the defence costs for all the defendants, except Jaranya, aka ‘Kwang’, were paid by Bryan Flowers. The defendants have been ordered to pay 1 million baht bail each pending appeal.
Today Howell said: “The verdict and sentence proves that the Night Wish Group is a sex trafficking organisation.”
“I feel deeply sorry for Kwang. She told the police the truth. Bryan originally paid her bail but said he would later ensure she went to jail. And now that’s happened. She could not afford a lawyer and she can’t afford the bail.”
Flowers, he said. had called Kwang ‘the biggest rat ever’ as she had named him as the boss and told how foreigners had sex in rooms in the bars. He would be nice to her for the moment, but planed to get her in jail.
