David Fletcher has a New Sign "NGO CORRUPTION"
An old British guy accused of raping a woman in Cambodia
Phnom Penh: According to Kampuchea Thmey News, an old British man was accused of raping a 16 years old Cambodian girl. On 14 September 2015, he was brought from Prey Sar prison to the Supreme Court for his trial.
Mr Pol Someoun, the judge, said the offender name Davit John Fletcher, 74 years old. He was sentenced to 10 years in prison by the municipal court of Phnom Penh for raping following the article 241 of Cambodia law. The trial was carried out without the presence of the offender. He refused to accept the verdict of the municipal court and asked to bring the case to Supreme Court.
The offender said that the reason that i wanted to bring this case to Supreme Court, because I wanted the Supreme Court to re-judge this case, because at the municipal court of Phnom Penh I had made a complaint against the trial without the presence of the offender, but I was refused to do it. He added, it was the fault of officers at the municipal court of Phnom which made it impossible for him to do so.
After the questioning, the judge of the Supreme Court decided to declare the verdict on 25 September, 2015
PS: At the end of 2009, the offender knew a woman who lived on Stung Meanchey dump site, after that he raped her and fled to Thailand. After that, after the investigation he was arrested by Thai police and was sent back to Cambodia. He had been imprisoned since then until now following the sentence of Municipal court which he was sentenced to 10 years in prison.

Re: An Old British Guy Accused of Raping a Woman in Cambodia
This has been going on for some time now. The Daily Mail article from 2013. (At least it's in English.)
Fletcher is still claiming that he is innocent and wants a retrial:
https://www.cambodiadaily.com/news/conv ... nce-94212/
http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article ... rison.htmlA notorious British paedophile is expected to spend the rest of his life in a mosquito-plagued Far East prison after being convicted of raping a 15-year-old girl five years ago.
Former hairdresser David Fletcher, 67, has been sent to prison in Cambodia's insufferable Prey Sar prison to serve out a 10-year sentence after he was arrested when he was extradited from neighbouring Thailand earlier this week.
He had been convicted of rape in his absence by a court in the Cambodian capital, Phnom Penh, after he fled to Thailand in the wake of claims that he was using a charity to groom for sex a number of poverty-stricken children who lived in a rubbish dump...

I'm pretty sure he's 64, but he looks fucking wrecked.
Silence, exile, and cunning.
Re: David Fletcher has a New Sign
If you read the history of the NGO APLE you will find this is/was a common practice.

Re: David Fletcher has a New Sign
The whole case is a travesty of justice...Convicted Rapist Insists Retrial Will Prove His Innocence
BY MATT BLOMBERG AND KHY SOVUTHY | SEPTEMBER 15, 2015
[...]
San Sony, a lawyer from anti-pedophile NGO Action Pour Les Enfants (APLE) who is representing the victim, and Hing Bunchea, the Appeal Court prosecutor, urged the judges to disregard Mr. Fletcher’s claims and focus solely on the fact that he had missed the deadline. “The time to appeal has passed,” Ms. Sony said. “The defendant is just making excuses.”
In October last year, Ms. Dany and her mother, Keang Sokun, recanted the rape allegations to reporters, saying that APLE had told them they would receive $5,000 compensation if they made the claims.
“APLE knew that Dany was not raped,” Ms. Sokun said.
Outside court Monday, Ms. Sony conceded that the doctor’s report suggested Ms. Dany was not raped but said the facts of the case were irrelevant at this point.
“I deny to focus on this fact of the case because my director…didn’t allow me to,” she said. “This case only involves procedure.”
She was a virgin.
APLE paid her an her mom $5,000 to say he raped her,
He is innocent of these charges, but he is not innocent.
In a nation run by swine, all pigs are upward-mobile and the rest of us are fucked until we can put our acts together: not necessarily to win, but mainly to keep from losing completely. HST
