I've noticed that some articles say they are being fined $750 each and some say they are being fined for a total of $750:





A Cambodian court on Saturday gave a six-month suspended jail sentence to three French tourists for taking pornographic photos at the Angkor Archeological Park, a world heritage site.

"After a full-day hearing, the court convicted the three Frenchmen of showing their sex organs and producing pornographic pictures and sentenced each of them to six months in prison, but the whole jail term is suspended," Kirt Sovanareth, chief prosecutor at the Siem Reap Provincial Court, told Xinhua via telephone.

The trio were also fined 250 U.S. dollars, he said.

"They will be deported from Cambodia on Sunday and banned from re-entering Cambodia for four years," he added.

The Frenchmen are identified as Rodolphe Fourgeot, 19; Alexandre Vix, 19; and Vincent Bocquet, 20.

Cambodian authorities arrested the group on Thursday while they were taking their nude photos at Banteay Kdei temple in the complex of the 12th century Angkor Archeological Park.

Angkor Archeological Park, inscribed on the UNESCO's World Heritage List in 1992, is the kingdom's largest tourist destination. It is located in Siem Reap province, some 315 km northwest of the capital of Phnom Penh.

The site received 2.35 million foreign tourists last year, earning a gross revenue of 59.3 million U.S. dollars from ticket sales, according to the government.

In addition, the judge decided to confiscate some exhibits from them such as one Iphone, one Iphone 4, a camera, memory card, one video camera, one speaker, two camera stands and two phone chargers.
Very astute to remember to confiscate the chargers. :lol:
I think so. The judge must did it with a reason. I hope all the exhibits will be kept at the court not the judge's house, otherwise the iPhone will be on the judge's kid or relative's hand the next day.
Cambodia, kingdom of wonder and I wonder about almost everything.,:)

They said those stuff are exhibits, so they need to confiscate them. As anchor moy wrote. They are so cleaver not to forget confiscate the charge while they confiscate the phone camera and video camera. :) so they might have a reason to also take the chargers.
