Good question.

In the OP his name was reported as Udo Theodor Symon, born March 15, 1959.

Now it's Mr. Udo Sabines Wize, aged 65 years.

And just to add to the confusion, the photos in the recent article are exactly the same as the ones in the article dated 5 November (post above ^^ ).

Good point. This is why I think images (including edited passport) are important to add WHENEVER possible. We all know that the Khmer press is terrible in their reporting, so as many pictures as possible to go with the news are needed.

Strangely, it seems he's made a few posts since being locked up.

I can't tell who actually posted it, but I can saw with certainty that it's definitely his real account, and also the one reverted to in the OP on this topic.

Here are some of the recent posts:

One of them links to this blog:

https://insideaple.wordpress.com

Could it be his? Only has a few recent posts, and the first one was on August 4. His first Facebook post since he was locked up in June was on August 9.

Only 5 days apart. Meh, the blog is signed by someone else too, so could be anyone, it just seems like a blog he would want to start and also in German and also around the same time it looks like he got internet access with Facebook and he also shared it on his Facebook.

I guess if Marc Swenson is someone known, there goes my whole tin foil hat theory..

Here's a quick Google Translate of the entry on the blog (the entries look the same to me, just different languages) and I would also go look at the comments if you're interested:

August 4, 2015

On behalf of the children Protectors

Marc Swenson

The French aid organizations, APLE is alleged to have brought hundreds of people in Cambodia through manipulated witnesses and bought judgments innocent to jail. Has whose founder is financed with the resulting generated donations to the abuse of children?

The temple is the quietest place here. People sit in small groups in front of the large gold Buddha. But the men here are not monks and wearing orange, they are prisoners and wearing red. The prison clothes from Prey Sor, the brüchtigten prison of Cambodia, about 20km outside of Phnom Penh. Around 3,500 prisoners are sitting here, including 100 foreigners.

We sit together with Hang Vibol, a friendly-looking Cambodians. His features vary between composure and anger. For four months Vibol sitting here in custody on suspicion of sexual abuse of wards. In 1994 he founded the charity Protect. Then he met the Frenchman, Thierry Darnaudet, and founded with him the organization APLE 3003, with headquarters in France. The acronym stands for Action for Children. The objective: to protect children from sexual abuse. Honorable goals. Vibol founded Our Home, a home for street children. Thierry took care of the fundraising and found numerous sponsors. Bread for the World, USAID, Global Humanitaria, Terres des Hommes and many more. He knows how to show off in front of the media scene.

With a lot of ruckus. Cambodia was APLE for Kinderschänderparadies and Thierry Darnaudet a cult figure of the child protectors. Numerous volunteers from many nations followed him to Cambodia, to the fight against child abusers. For comparison: in 2013 there were in England 2,000 cases of abuse in Cambodia 200. 
suffers the country today from the consequences of the Pol Pot regime. Massacred, impoverished, and now exploited by abusers that makes you the best. So good that Thierry 2007 also founded ACCT in Calcutta. It was not long before he is confronted with molestation allegations.

The sister of a little boy had been watching the sexual abuse and the boy testified that tells us Vibol. Thierry should have it beaten him almost dead. The child was hospitalized with serious injuries. It should not be the first time that Thierry has been displayed for abuse in India. Adriana, an Australian a volunteer wants to have Thierry caught five times while having sex with children.He bought out all procedures with lush sums out and brought the authorities to silence. With donations of APLE.

A little later Vibol Thierry caught inflagranti how he abused a young boy in his office from Our Home in Phnom Penh. It comes to a head and Vibol filed charges.But how can there be an investigation when Thierry belongs the investigating authority quasi? Between the Ministry of Interior of Cambodia and APLE an MOU - A Memorandum of Understanding. After that, about 30 APLE employees may carry out investigation work within the Anti Crime Department for Human Trafficking. An NGO operates a police authority. Apart from the lack of legal basis - Which qualifications anyway? At least they were able to mass abuse of its own founder for many years not to recognize.

Here the victim would be found quickly. The now teenagers Pen Dom hangs around at the Riverside from Phnom Penh. Exactly that place where the visiting volunteers with a hidden camera photographed male tourists who are in contact with children. With a population 56% of minors, this contact can hardly be avoided. For the women who had traveled from Europe and Australia which is a kind of sport. How Paint Ball, only with real victims. Finally as a beast, so bring a pig to pedophiles haul. Do they know what they are actually doing?

Vibols English is broken but understandable. Again and again he sinks into thought. Him torments the guilt of having reacted too late. Now he wants to unpack. Two years he himself was Country Director of APLE, knows the structures and the system to the last detail. For the first time he came massively to ponder when he accompanied two child witnesses to Australia, which should testify in a trial against the Australian ambassador Ex.

John Holloway had made himself unpopular with criticism of the Cambodian government. Suddenly he saw himself exposed to abuse allegations. Among the 15 selection Photos showed two boys on the photo of the ambassador. His life was henceforth ruined. On the return flight the children Vibol declared suddenly that they did not know the ambassador. They wanted to stop only times like flying to Australia.

APLE's main sponsor is the Hispanic - American organization Global Humanitaria. The funds will be success-oriented. The more convictions the more money. How might this be lawful in one of the most corrupt countries in the world probably? 
You manupulieren statements with money, with threats, with Blanco signed forms. A doctor by APLE to have a girl attested three times the defloration. Many children have the identical unison statement text. Many children are detained against their will and their parents in closed facilities and subjected to brainwashing, says Vibol.That's all illegal, but nobody cares. They do what they want.

The end of 2013 it presented to him. He complained to the Interior Ministry about APLE's machinations and distances itself from the organization. Posthumously was displaying. Vibol had touched the children in his home under the shower immoral, so APLE. The children have their statements retracted again in the meantime.Vibol still sitting in prison. Anyone who criticizes APLE, immediately has a procedure on the neck. Vibol if it were not the first.

Sippy sitting in our lap. A skinny Australians with white hair and beard. He is around 60, his body emaciated and haggard from the rigors of prison conditions. With 75 people on 120 square meters and heat to 38 degrees.You will sleep on the stone floor, eating and drinking must be purchased. The hygienic conditions are catastrophic. Four years he's been here. APLE claims to have established the abuse of the daughter of his partner. Four involved prosecutors look for any evidence and call for the termination of the proceeding. The judge sentenced him to eight years. Why does he do that?

You pay the judge for sentencing explains Vibol. The produced successes and donations. Hundreds foreigners were detained over the years. Some committed suicide, while others starve miserably to infectious diseases there, almost all of them traumatized for life. Undoubtedly, among them are also real culprit, however, is not guilty. Guilty only of may be, who was convicted by a fair trial with a functioning legal system. The Cambodian judiciary rather the charm of a Mexican drug cartel. It applies the law of George Washington. His Counterfeit adorns every dollar bill.

The lack of legal security of the country discourages investment. The number of accused foreign entrepreneur is remarkable. There is, for example, Brian, an American operator. The license which he received ten years ago is today worth gold. There were quarrels with the partners and the authorities. Now he sits in prison.Two thirteen year old girl should have charged him. They should have come joyfully from the interrogation. We get every thousand dollars. APLE appears like a willing vicarious agent to dispose of inconvenient counterparty.Many investors are expropriated during the long prison times.

Meanwhile MEHREND resistance and resentment against the organization encourages. The Internet is filled with critical, accusatory blogs. Even well-known NGO's distancing itself from APLE and the embassies of many countries it has long been a thorn in the side. The Russian ambassador is committed just for the release of a fellow countryman. The judges pull out pre-trial detention for years and wait for payment. Depending on the assessment of the assets, the claims up to 150,000 $. Those who can not pay, sitting up to 15 years.

The numerous victims now form up to a display in front of the International Court of Justice in The Hague. They accuse the Cambodian government against grave human rights violation of hundreds of foreigners.Against the APLE team to be placed in France criminal charges of international organized crime. 
Thousand years bought from donations, inhumane detention, to finance the pedophile impulses of a "children's protector". For the sponsors would be the Super GAU. You would be well advised himself assiduously to seek transparent investigation and illuminate the eligibility of APLE closer.

Even Prime Minister HE is likely to come all this extremely inappropriate. He strives just to renovate the severely battered image of his country in order to attract investors. 2013 Thierry Darnaudet was expelled as persona non grata. From an investigation and a conventional prison sentence of five to ten years he has been spared. In an interview in February 2015, the Phnom Penh Post, he cares as much as the good reputation of the organization. He is now in hiding in India and plans to extend its Child Care Program to Haiti.
