American Sex Offender Mark Lucius is Working at BIA in Phnom Penh, Cambodia

Cambodia news in English! Here you'll find all the breaking news from Cambodia translated into English for our international readership and expat community to read and comment on. The majority of our news stories are gathered from the local Khmer newspapers, but we also bring you newsworthy media from Cambodia before you read them anywhere else. Because of the huge population of the capital city, most articles are from Phnom Penh, but Siem Reap, Sihanoukville, and Kampot often make the headlines as well. We report on all arrests and deaths of foreigners in Cambodia, and the details often come from the Cambodian police or local Khmer journalists. As an ASEAN news outlet, we also publish regional news and events from our neighboring countries. We also share local Khmer news stories that you won't find in English anywhere else. If you're looking for a certain article, you may use our site's search feature to find it quickly.

Would working with children at Beijing International Academy in Phnom Penh be an issue for him?

I was reading a flawed Google Translation of the story, but we now have a more detailed article up that says he's been sent to the US Embassy, which seems odd, but no indication his passport was expired, so I've corrected that.

Apparently (Mark) he has been arrested. A friend saw the post on an acquaintances phone but does not know the news site. It is a Khmer language only website. Hopefully it will pop up soon. He is being extradited to the US from what I've heard.

And EDWARD JOSEPH MARISPINI was arrested a few days ago, in case you missed it. I also had a chat with BIA, who said he only did a couple demo lessons there, but was never 'hired' because he sucked.

Can you shed any light on that?

That's the same B.S. line that Home of English tried to spin about Eric Erdmann working there.

Has it been clarified that the suspect in the op has been arrested? (lucias).
Do schools lie about this kind of stuff in order to keep their reputations?
General Mackevili, I'd love to hear if he actually was. I find it strange that such a conviction would remain so low profile, and not get bandered about as proof that something "is being done".
They're nearly always in the news right?
