5 years prison for sex with a minor.
Man Sentenced for Underage Sex
A 27-year-old former university student was sentenced to five years in prison by the Phnom Penh Municipal Court yesterday for having sex with a 14-year-old girl multiple times in Meanchey district’s Boeng Tumpon commune last year.
Presiding judge Im Vanak identified the man as Meng Vireak, a former student at the National Institute of Management. Mr. Vireak was found guilty on charges of having “sexual intercourse with a minor under 15 years” under article 42 of the Law on Suppression of Human Trafficking and Sexual Exploitation.
“The court ordered him to pay five million riel [about $12,500] in compensation to the plaintiff,” Mr. Vanak added, reading the verdict.
Mr. Vireak was arrested on November 17 last year after the victim’s mother filed a complaint with police, accusing him of repeatedly engaging in sexual activity with her daughter at a guesthouse.
According to the law, marrying or having sex with a woman under the age of 15 is illegal.
Mr. Vireak could not be reached for comment yesterday, but during his trial he admitted to his charges, saying he and the victim had been in a loving three-month relationship before his arrest.

Re: 5 years prison for sex with a minor.
Just out of interest, where would a university student come up with $12,500? And what happens if he cannot pay? They let him out to make it?
Jesus loves you...Mexico is great, right?

Law on Suppression of Human Trafficking and Sexual Exploitation
CHAPTER 6 Indecency Against Minors Under Fifteen Years
Article 42: Sexual Intercourse with a Minor under Fifteen Years
A person who has sexual intercourse with another person of the age of less than fifteen years shall be punished with imprisonment from 5 to 10 years.
During his trial he admitted to his charges, saying he and the victim had been in a loving three-month relationship before his arrest.
He apparently got away with the minimum mandatory sentence, I guess, in exchange for his confession. If the only evidence was his own admission of guilt, as suggested by the reporting, then he got sentenced for not having appointed a decent lawyer, who would have admonished him NOT to incriminate himself. There is never an obligation to do so. In absence of his own confession, the prosecution would simply have failed to produce conclusive evidence for his offense. Without his cooperation, they would simply have had to release him for lack of evidence.

Re: 5 years prison for sex with a minor.
You will note that he is a '' former '' university student, so now he could be anything from a moto-dop to an adviser to a government minister. After he has spent 5 years in
prison , she will be 19 years of age and the $12,000 will be paid out as money for their wedding.

Cambodia,,,, Don't fall in love with her.
Like the spoilt child she is, she will not be happy till she destroys herself from within and breaks your heart.

Yea, but as in most cases, marriage is not a happy ending.
