David Fletcher Denied a Retrial in Cambodian Rape Case

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.

On Cambodia440 Ricketson says: "Now, the new owner of Khmer440 refuses to allow me access to his site to attempt to undo the damage Khmer440 has done to Mr Fletcher." link

On 440 scob says: "...James is also reporting that the new owner of 440 refuses to allow him onto the forum to discuss it. Not entirely true. I have told him he is free to rejoin, providing he abides the forum rules of not revealing the real life identities of current 440 members...". And I have no reason to disbelieve scob here. In fact I think I recall his also saying a while ago that Ricketson was welcome to rejoin so long he obeyed the rules.

In this one small detail in which we do in fact know the truth clearly, we can see that Ricketson has presented a skewed version, resembling the truth but omitting key information, and recasting his unwillingness to agree to play by the rules as 440's refusal to let him join.

What does this say about Ricketson's presentation of the facts about Fletcher and his case?

U mean SISHA (Steve Morrish) ?? K440 old friends LOL

this is why he was in jail in Bangkok
NOTHING related to any alleged rapes;
On Sunday 27th of June, Mr. David Fletcher, a British national living in Phnom Penh, suspected of child abuses, was arrested at the guest house by Royal Thai Police for immigration offences, (one day after his arrival in the country) specifically failing to notify the Thai immigration authorities of his previous criminal convictions in the UK.

On Wednesday the 23rd of June 2010, media articles were published in Cambodia and other countries which alleged that Fletcher was running a not-for-profit organisation which provided food and medical services to children living in the Stung Meancheay dump site in Phnom Penh. The media articles further alleged that Fletcher was sexually abusing young children living at the dump site.

On Friday 26th of June 2010, as a result of media articles published, Fletcher fled Cambodia and traveled across land into Thailand.
For the past two years, the British Police Child Exploitation and Online Protection team (CEOP), in cooperation with the Cambodia National Police and NGO’s South East Asia Investigations into Social and Humanitarian Activities (SISHA) have been investigating British national Mr. David Fletcher for alleged sexual abuse of children in Cambodia.

The British Police Child Exploitation and Online Protection team (CEOP), in cooperation with the Royal Thai Police and NGO - South East Asia Investigations into Social and Humanitarian Activities (SISHA), acting on information provided by concerned citizens living in Cambodia, located Fletcher at a guest house in Bangkok.

Actually, the story I was given is that Fletch was lured to Bangkok in a sting operation by an undercover operative. When the Sunday Mirror article was published and the shit hit the fan big time for him in Cambodia, Fletch had a phone call/email offering him a safe haven in Bangers until things blew over.

The 'safe house' was nothing of the sort and Fletch's mate was actually working undercover for an NGO. Flech was swiftly nicked at the supposed safe house.

We also see Scobiez's own agenda (or that of his fat puppetmaster) in attempting to entice Ricktson onto K440 for the purpose of outing me. Subtle, they aint.

You are totally wrong, KiR.

I have repeatedly told Ricketson he is only welcome on 440 if he abides by the rules of not outing members. He asked me if that extended to you. I said yes.

As a result of me refusing to let him use 440 to out you, I'm being rewarded by him with an honorable mention in his upcoming book.

No need to thank me.

I'm still sipping my first coffee of the day so I freely admit I'm probably a bit more twatty than usual.

By your argument, internationally-recognised war criminals that have not between prosecuted in their own country cannot be guilty. I was a having a chat with a guy from the Hague Tribunal the other day that would have some strong views about that.
I don't get your point?

My point is, he is a sex offender in the UK for consensual sex with a 15yo. Sex offender because she is below the UK's age of consent.

In Cambodia the age of consent is 15 so the reason why he is a sex offender in the UK is not a crime in Cambodia. Therefore I doubt they would recognise the fact that he is a sex offender.
