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.

His name is Udo Sabiniewicz (not Udo Theodor Symon) and the hearing was held yesterday. He maintains his innocence; two of the original plaintiffs have desisted and now another one has withdrawn the charges. Today's PPP:
Two of the alleged victims’ families ultimately never stepped forward to press charges following the arrest.
The case was further winnowed down yesterday as Srey Leak, mother of an alleged victim, didn’t show up to court, instead sending court officials a statement claiming that police had instructed her child to incriminate the suspect...
Then there's the troubling story of the stolen iphone:
The German claimed his troubles with Soravy began when he drove her and her son home one night. Before getting out of his car, Soravy said something to her son about the defendant’s iPad, Sabiniewicz said. When the iPad turned up missing, he believed the son had taken it per his mother’s instructions.

The suspect claimed that when he called Soravy the following day to demand the iPad back, she threatened him with arrest and prison if he “made trouble” for her.

“She said ‘if you report me . . . I will harm you’,” said Sabiniewicz. “What did she do? Threw me into prison.” ....

The whole case sounds bizarre, especially the withdrawn evidence and low sentence, but which one isn't when one of these child protection NGOs are involved? In other news, the Dutch/Belgian guy convicted by a foreign court is still running free...

Well, Udo Sabiniwicz (the former CEO of FX Animation) was arrested again on Monday for not having a passport or visa and will be deported.

Apparently his passport was revoked while he was in jail for a brief while.

He was arrested at Golden Home Guesthouse after being released June 18, on Street 172, where almost half of the action in Cambodia happens.

Police claim that his most recent arrest had nothing to do with his previous arrest sexually assaulting children, but that they would do this with any foreigner living in Cambodia illegally.

Obviously it did. There's an unwritten policy to refuse visas and deport convicted pedos.

Wow, shades of Eric Erdmann. Sounds like the western embassies may be applying a new technique to get their citizens deported/returned to their home countries without being bothered with a pesky extradition process. They just find a way of depriving you of your passport (eg refusal to renew, revocation, etc) then drop a dime to the Cambodian coppers about you not having a passport/visa, prompting your arrest and deportation. Slick.

What happened to all his audio gear? From pictures I've seen it was all top spec. and probably worth more than $10-20k.

Probably generously donated to the Policemen's KTV & Mistress Fund about 5 minutes after he was arrested.

Yeah, it sounds like they're doing exactly that.

I must say, it's a pretty efficient strategy.
