黄瑞黎2026年9月16日西拉努·斯科特在曼谷家中。 Lauren DeCicca for The New York TimesFor years, the Thai public knew Siranudh Scott as a scion of Thailand’s largest beer dynasty and a high-profile marine conservationist who publicly criticized government officials for ignoring environmental violations.多年来，泰国公众都知道西拉努·斯科特是出身泰国最大啤酒王朝的富家子弟，也是一位高调的海洋保护主义者，曾公开批评政府官员忽视环境违法行为。But Siranudh, 30, was also fighting a personal battle. This year, he decided he could no longer stay silent, and made a bombshell accusation.但30岁的西拉努也在进行一场个人斗争。今年，他决定不再沉默，并提出了一项爆炸性指控。Siranudh, who is also known as Psi, said his older brother, Sunit Scott, and his nanny had sexually assaulted him as a child — and that his mother attempted to cover up the abuse and buy his silence. The fallout was swift. He said that as punishment for speaking out, he was cut off from the $1.3 billion Singha family fortune and thrown out of the family beach house.被人称作Psi的西拉努说，哥哥苏尼特·斯科特和他的保姆在他小时候对他实施了性侵犯，母亲则试图掩盖虐待并用钱封他的口。他的举动很快招致后果。他说，作为发声的惩罚，他将无缘胜狮家族的13亿美元财富，并被赶出了家族的海滨别墅。His accusation — which his brother denied — unleashed a rare public reckoning over sexual assault in Thailand, where the #MeToo movement had failed to make an impact. Many Thais have responded with accounts of sexual assault within families and by powerful people.在连“#我也是”(#MeToo)运动都无法产生影响的泰国，他的指控（他的哥哥予以否认）引发了一场罕见的性侵犯公开清算。许多泰国人纷纷讲述了他们在家庭内部和被权势人物性侵犯的经历。His mother has disputed his account of what she knew and how she acted, in a written response to The New York Times, her first public comment on the allegations. Sunit, 36, did not respond to multiple requests for comment. In a social media video posted after his brother made his accusations public, he denied the abuse and described what happened as roughhousing. The nanny did not respond.他的母亲在给《纽约时报》的书面回复中首次就这些指控发表公开评论，就自己的知情程度和行为对他的说法予以反驳。36岁的苏尼特没有回应多次置评请求。在指控公开后，他发布了一段社交媒体视频，否认存在施虐，并将发生的事情描述为打闹。保姆没有回应。支持者与抵达一家法律非营利组织办公室的西拉努交谈。该组织在他的指控曝光后向他提供了援助。The New York Times interviewed Siranudh on multiple occasions and spoke with seven of his friends and supporters. We also reviewed a contract signed between Siranudh and his family, as well as an audio clip of what Siranudh said was a conversation between the brothers that he secretly recorded.《纽约时报》多次采访西拉努，并与他的七位朋友和支持者交谈。我们还查阅了西拉努与其家人签署的一份合同，以及一段据西拉努称是兄弟之间对话的录音片段，该录音是他秘密录制的。The support from the Thai public has given Siranudh something he says he long wanted from his family: acknowledgment. Having the accusations out in the open was like a weight lifting from him, he said.泰国公众的支持给了西拉努一些他说自己长期以来一直想从家人那里得到的东西：承认。他说，将指控公开就像从他身上卸下了一个重担。“Some form of justice has come in its exposure,” he added.“某种形式的正义已经在曝光中到来，”他补充说。To Be a Bhirombhakdi成为比龙帕迪家族的一员Siranudh described a childhood in which his parents, who were divorced, were distant. The household staff took care of him, and even though he was not close to his brother, they would play together sometimes.西拉努描述了一个与离异父母疏远的童年。他由家中佣人照看，尽管与哥哥不亲近，他们有时也会一起玩。That made the abuse so hard to understand, he said, because it came from those he trusted.他说，正因为如此，虐待行为才更令人难以理解，因为施虐者是他信任的人。He said he barely saw his mother and met his father for dinner once a week. His grandfather, Chamnong Bhirombhakdi, was the longtime chair of Boon Rawd Brewery, which owns Singha beer and holds the largest share of Thailand’s lucrative beer market. The country’s wealthy elite regularly visited his grandfather’s house.他说他几乎见不到母亲，每周与父亲见一次面吃晚饭。他的祖父昌农·比龙帕迪任汶洛啤酒厂董事长多年，该厂拥有胜狮啤酒，并持有泰国利润丰厚的啤酒市场的最大份额。该国富有的精英经常拜访他祖父。Closest to him was his nanny, who had cared for him since he was a baby.与他最亲近的是从他婴儿时就照顾他的保姆。But once, when he was 8, Siranudh said, his nanny took her pants off and sat on top of him. He was confused about what happened. (The nanny did not respond to requests for comment.)但西拉努说，在他八岁时，有一次保姆脱下裤子坐在他身上。他对发生的事情感到困惑。（保姆没有回应置评请求。）The bigger betrayal, he said, came when he was 9. His older brother had returned from boarding school in England for summer vacation. Siranudh wanted to spend time with him. Instead, he said, his brother forced him to give him oral sex.他说，更大的背叛发生在他九岁时。他的哥哥从英国的寄宿学校回来过暑假。西拉努想和他共度时光。结果，他说，哥哥强迫他为他口交。“The first time he grabbed my head, I remember being really repulsed,” Siranudh said.“他第一次抓住我的头时，我记得我感到非常厌恶，”西拉努说。The abuse continued until Siranudh was 13, he said.他说，虐待一直持续到西拉努13岁。Siranudh said he told no one because he felt responsible for protecting his family.西拉努说他没有告诉任何人，因为他觉得有责任保护他的家人。西拉努家族住宅所在的曼谷社区一景。“I just felt early on that I had to undermine my reality to let other people live,” he said. “I didn’t speak up also because I didn’t think I was worthy or that I was loved.”“我很早就觉得，为了让别人好好生活，我必须否定自己的现实，”他说。“我没有说出来，也因为我不认为自己有价值，或者被爱。”As a teenager, Siranudh struggled with depression. He found refuge in drawing, and left home in 2014 to study animation in California. He moved to London in 2020 and started seeing a therapist, whom he confided in.十几岁时，西拉努与抑郁症作斗争。他在绘画中找到了避难所，并于2014年离家前往加利福尼亚学习动画。他于2020年搬到伦敦，并开始见一位心理咨询师，向其倾诉。He said the therapist helped him see the gravity of his situation. He said before that, he thought an older brother abusing a younger brother was normal.他说，咨询师帮助他看到了自己处境的严重性。他说，在那之前，他认为哥哥虐待弟弟是正常的。“The minute that I was able to start saying that yes, it was rape, I was able to start planning like how I was going to go forward,” he said.“当我能够开始说，是的，那是强奸的那一刻，我就能够开始计划我将如何前进，”他说。Breaking the Silence打破沉默Siranudh said he did not set out to make his allegations public. He first tried to address them with his family. What followed, he said, convinced him that he would need proof, and public pressure.西拉努说，他并没有打算将他的指控公之于众。他首先试图与家人解决这些问题。他说，接下来发生的事情让他相信，他需要证据和公众压力。In 2020, Siranudh told his mother, Chiranuj Bhirombhakdi, that he had been sexually abused by his nanny.2020年，西拉努告诉他的母亲七拉努·比龙帕迪，他曾被保姆性侵犯。When Chiranuj confronted the nanny, Siranudh said, the nanny told her that he had been abused by his older brother. His mother asked Siranudh about it then told him not to tell anyone, he said. She fired the nanny.西拉努说，当七拉努质问保姆时，保姆告诉她，西拉努曾被哥哥虐待。他说，他的母亲问了他这件事，然后叫他不要告诉任何人。她解雇了保姆。Siranudh saw what happened next as punishment for speaking out. Within months, he said, Chiranuj threw him out of the family’s beach house in Hua Hin. She said he had damaged the property. This was the start of his estrangement from his mother and brother.西拉努将接下来发生的事情视为发声的惩罚。他说，几个月内，七拉努将他赶出了在华欣的家族海滨别墅。她说他损坏了房产。这是他与他母亲和哥哥疏远的开始。Siranudh’s estrangement from his mother deepened when he learned that she had rehired his nanny and continued taking vacations with his older brother.当西拉努得知母亲重新雇用他的保姆并继续与他的哥哥一起度假时，他与母亲的关系更加疏远。In August 2023, he said he found the courage to do what he had thought was impossible. In a series of Facebook posts, he wrote that he was “raped by someone in the family,” that his nanny had sexually abused him when he was a child, and that his mother had thrown him out.2023年8月，他说他找到了勇气去做他曾认为不可能的事情。在一系列Facebook帖子中，他写道，他“被家族中的某个人强奸”，他的保姆在他小时候对他实施了性侵犯，他的母亲将他赶了出去。The posts drew widespread attention. Three months later, Siranudh’s aunt invited him to her house for a meeting with his relatives. His brother, Sunit, was there.这些帖子引起了广泛关注。三个月后，西拉努的姑姑邀请他去她家与亲戚会面。他的哥哥苏尼特在那里。Siranudh asked to speak alone with his brother. Siranudh told the Times he recorded the conversation without his brother’s knowledge because he wanted evidence if he ever made his allegations public.西拉努要求与他的哥哥单独交谈。西拉努告诉《纽约时报》，他在他哥哥不知情的情况下录下了对话，因为如果最终要将他的指控公之于众，他需要证据。The Times reviewed the 20-minute recording, the full version of which has not been made public. In it, Siranudh is heard confronting the other speaker, whom Siranudh identifies as Sunit.《纽约时报》核查了这段20分钟的录音，其完整版本尚未公开。在录音中，可以听到西拉努与另一位说话者对峙，西拉努称此人为苏尼特。“It’s nothing that a brother should ever feel. It’s not just sexual assault, Pi,” he said. “It’s like incest, and I had no responsibility in it at all ’cause I was a kid.”“这不是一个兄弟应该产生的感受。这不仅仅是性侵犯，Pi，”他说。“这就像乱伦，而我对此完全没有责任，因为我是个孩子。”The other speaker says he did not know what he was doing at the time. He does not appear to deny Siranudh’s accusations. He says: “What I’ve done I can never take back.”另一位说话者说，他当时不知道自己在做什么。他似乎没有否认西拉努的指控。他说：“我所做的事情，我永远无法收回。”支持者赠送的一幅西拉努画像。Sunit did not respond to requests for comment sent through his mother’s lawyer as well as a crisis communications consultant hired by the lawyer of the Bhirombhakdi family. A Times reporter who went to his home and asked to speak with him was turned away.苏尼特没有回应通过他母亲的律师以及比龙帕迪家族律师聘请的危机沟通顾问发出的置评请求。《纽约时报》的一名记者前往他家，要求采访他，但被拒之门外。At the family meeting, Siranudh challenged his mother to tell their relatives about what he said his brother had done, but the relatives refused to listen, he said. His mother and aunt offered to give him financial support if he signed an agreement to “uphold the reputation, honor, and dignity as a member of a ‘Bhirombhakdi,’” according to a copy of the contract viewed by the Times.在家族会议上，西拉努要求母亲告诉亲戚们他所说的哥哥所做的事情，但他说，亲戚们拒绝倾听。根据《纽约时报》查阅的合同副本，他的母亲和姑姑提出，如果他签署一份协议，以“维护作为‘比龙帕迪’家族成员的声誉、荣誉和尊严”，就给他经济支持。Specifically, he was told not to post “extra content” about his mother on social media. In return, he would receive an annual allowance of 5 million baht, and a one-time payment of 10 million baht ($300,000). He signed.具体来说，他被告知不要在社交媒体上发布关于他母亲的“更多内容”。作为回报，他将获得每年500万泰铢的津贴，以及一次性支付1000万泰铢（30万美元）。他签了字。But he refused to be silenced. He reiterated his complaints about his family on television. In January, his mother sued him under a Thai law that allows parents to take legal action against “ungrateful” children who defame or insult them.但他拒绝被噤声。他在电视上重申了对家人的不满。今年1月，他的母亲根据一项泰国法律起诉他，该法律允许父母对诽谤或侮辱他们的“忘恩负义”子女采取法律行动。Then, in May, Siranudh made his accusations against his brother public. After his brother denied them, he released excerpts from the recording on social media, saying he felt his family would otherwise never acknowledge what happened.然后，在5月，西拉努公开了他对哥哥的指控。在哥哥否认后，他在社交媒体上发布了录音摘录，说他觉得如果不这样做，他的家人永远不会承认发生了什么。Chiranuj disputed much of his account in written answers to questions from the Times.在对《纽约时报》提问的书面回答中，七拉努对西拉努的大部分叙述提出了异议。She said she had not heard the accusations against Sunit until Siranudh made them public; Siranudh says he told her in 2020.她说，她是在西拉努公开后才听说针对苏尼特的指控；西拉努说他在2020年就告诉了她。西拉努在曼谷一所高中的迎新活动上讲话。在公开对哥哥的指控后，他受邀作为嘉宾演讲。She rejected his description of the agreement as hush money, saying it was meant to support her son financially, on one condition. “He has to behave and uphold our names and reputations of ‘Bhirombhakdi’,” she wrote. Chiranuj said the lawsuit was necessary because he had damaged the beach house and was “causing trouble.”她拒绝了他将协议描述为封口费的说法，称其目的是在经济上支持她的儿子，但有一个条件。“他必须守规矩，维护我们‘比龙帕迪’的名声和声誉，”她写道。七拉努说，诉讼是必要的，因为他损坏了海滨别墅，并且“制造麻烦”。A National Reckoning一场全国性的清算By releasing the recordings, Siranudh generated public pressure that his family, and the brewery tied to its fortune, could not ignore.通过发布录音，西拉努制造了公众压力，他的家人以及与其财富相关的啤酒厂无法忽视。In Thailand, the #MeToo movement had not gained traction because confrontation is often avoided and criminal defamation laws can make people reluctant to name those they accuse of assault. The topic of sexual abuse within families was especially sensitive, but that is changing.在泰国，“#我也是”运动没有产生多少影响，因为这里往往会回避正面对峙，而刑事诽谤法可能使人们不愿提出具名的指控。家庭内部的性虐待话题尤其敏感，但这种情况正在改变。Jaray Singhakowinta, an assistant professor at the National Institute of Development Administration in Bangkok, said Siranudh’s story challenged the expectation that family comes before the individual, and the silence surrounding male victims.位于曼谷的泰国国立发展管理学院的助理教授贾拉伊·辛加科温塔说，西拉努的故事挑战了家庭先于个人以及男性受害者应保持沉默的观念。“A young man crying on camera about childhood abuse gave other men permission to speak, and many did,” he said.“一个年轻人在镜头前为童年虐待哭泣，给了其他男性发声的许可，许多人确实这样做了，”他说。As the response to Siranudh’s account grew, the family and the business sought to distance themselves from the dispute.随着对西拉努叙述的回应增多，家族和企业试图与这场纠纷保持距离。Boon Rawd Brewery, the maker of Singha beer, announced that Sunit, who worked for the company, had resigned. It published his resignation letter, in which he apologized for “the incident and the impact it has caused,” and said that he was stepping down until the matter was clarified. The company also expressed its sympathy to Siranudh.胜狮啤酒的制造商汶洛啤酒厂宣布，在该公司工作的苏尼特已经辞职。公司公布了他的辞职信，他在信中为“该事件及其造成的影响”道歉，并表示他将辞职，直到事情得到澄清。该公司还对西拉努表示了同情。In a statement, the Bhirombhakdi family acknowledged the “significant public concern” around Siranudh’s allegations and said its members were committed to addressing the issue responsibly. The broader family said it did not know about the contract.在一份声明中，比龙帕迪家族承认围绕西拉努指控的“重大公众关注”，并表示其成员致力于负责任地解决这个问题。家族成员大多表示不知道那份合同。In July, Chiranuj announced that she was dropping the lawsuit against Siranudh, saying she hoped that ending the litigation would allow the family to heal.7月，七拉努宣布她将撤销对西拉努的诉讼，说她希望结束诉讼能让家庭愈合。Siranudh said reconciliation was no longer his goal. He is now preparing to file criminal complaints against his brother. He has no plans to speak to his mother.西拉努说，和解不再是他的目标。他现在正准备对他的哥哥提起刑事控告。他没有与母亲对话的打算。Kittiphum Sringammuang对本文有报道贡献。黄瑞黎(Sui-Lee Wee)是时报亚洲商业记者。翻译：经雷点击查看本文英文版。
