British Teacher MATTHEW WILLIAM WATKIN Arrested; Accused of Sexual Assault in Siem Reap, 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.

...and thin lips. I'm not sure why, but I have always had a deep mistrust of people with thin lips and beady eyes which are too close together.

I really hope for his sake that he's guilty. This would be terrible thing to happen to an innocent man.

This only gives a very good indication of the way you must dress, if you think that is exceptionally well-dressed
Not quite. It gives a very good indication of how the people in other mug shots I've seen posted were dressed.

Just to point out, he's been 'arrested' by Cambodian police, so whether or not he's guilty, it's in the legal system now, and more than just 'accusations.'

If Matthew William Watkin is found 'not guilty' or charges are dropped, we'll be sure to update the article.

ahh tried in the court of CEO

Everyone knows, even if he is later acquitted of all offenses/charges, he will be forever guilty online...
cause his name was mentioned.

The allegations sound more like grooming than assault. Maybe there is more to be added by the girls that they haven’t told the authorities yet. But I find that difficult to believe, but time will tell. Maybe the girls mother has an ulterior motive? Who knows but asking for a massage, kissing on the forehead and rubbing his beard on her face looks weird and inappropriate for sure. But what if he has had a long term paternal relationship with the girls? Raised them for so long they see him as a father figure and he treats them as daughters. Would that excuse or explain his seemingly inappropriate actions?

Who knows but there’s a lot we don’t know about the case and we do like to speculate, and then there’s the rule of law here and we do love a good witch-hunt.
