American SAMUEL DOUGLAS LOVEJOY Arrested for Child Sex Abuse in Kampot, 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.

So how does the deportation process work? I mean, are you handcuffed before departure and all during the flight with 2 law enforcement agents on each side of you? Do you have to pay for your own ticket and do you fly economy? Must be embarrassing as hell no matter how you put it.
I was on a flight recently where a guy was escorted to the plane by a police officer but was allowed to take his seat in economy without being escorted, on arrival in London passengers were asked to remain in their seats and as two police officers walked down the aisle the guy just held up his hand and was escorted off the plane.
Sounds about right to me. I mean, what's the guy gonna do, jump outta the plane mid-flight?

Off topic : Why we do not hear of "Asians" in these kinds of stories? I hear about some studies show that there are more Asian "consumers" than Westerners. I ask you to your reflection...

The answer to your question is probably that there are too many local crimes to publish and this is an expat site. But do a search on child rape/murder and you will find some.

You're exactly right there, there are also many cases reported in the Phnom Penh Post and the Cambodia daily before it went defunct:

The number of rapes and serious crimes committed against children in Cambodia rose by more than 10 percent last year, according to figures from the Child Protection Unit obtained yesterday. The CPU, a joint initiative set up by the Cambodian Children’s Fund and the National Police in 2013, investigated 269 serious crimes against children aged 13.5 and under in 24 provinces in 2016, as well as homicides of children aged 15 and younger. http://www.phnompenhpost.com/national/child-rape-2016

This is a quote from a topic today:
a 2013 U.N. survey revealed that 1 in 5 Cambodian men admit to having raped a woman.
Not all underage but that is a staggeringly high number

I think the answer is that we, consciously or not, only really care about the westerners as it is more likely to impact us

Yes, a big weakness is our ever-so-inaccurate reporting.

Not only must you read between the lines, but must gauge unreported numbers and impact.

Give up on fairness and just presume everyone has an angle.
Melvin Udall: Never, never, interrupt me, okay?

Not if there's a fire, not even if you hear the sound of a thud from my home and one week later there's a smell coming from there that can only be a decaying human body and you have to hold a hanky to your face because the stench is so thick that you think you're going to faint.

Even then, don't come knocking...Not for ANY reason.

Alleged paedo deported
26 January 2018
Cambodian police deported a suspected American paedophile wanted by the FBI on Wednesday, senior police officials said.

Lieutenant General Uk Heisela, director of inspection and procedure at the department of immigration, said that Samuel Douglas Lovejoy, 31, has been deported back to his home country.
“We have already deported him with US officials who came to escort him,” he said.
