Englishman MARK SMITH (Golden Bridge International School Vice Principal) Arrested in Cambodia for Child Sex Crimes

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.

some foolishly lose their passports in the mekong above steung treng and report directly to Vientiane immigration.
the local Laos immigration along the river may arrest such ppl and send them to Cambodia.
in Vientiane, they can fine them a kilobuck but normally $400 seeing as how too stupid to drop their passport in the river like that, it is like they are not right in the head, they don't take advantage of retards.
criminals with warrants may find it different though.

vs released prisoners, and visa overstayers i mean.
seems at least a few here serve time and not deported after they serve their sentence.
maybe their overstay fines are too high to leave by then!

This headline from the the Phnom Penh Post says "International School VP Charged for Alleged Sexual Assault."

http://www.phnompenhpost.com/national/i ... ex-assault

The Khmer Times also reported that he was charged with sex crimes:

http://www.khmertimeskh.com/5074405/tea ... sex-abuse/

And here's the Cambodia Daily article titled "UK Teacher Charged in Child Sex Abuse Case"

https://www.cambodiadaily.com/news/uk-t ... se-133035/

What is your basis for saying "there were never any charges"?

Why do you say Smith's lawyer blew them away in court? Were you there, intently listening to the proceedings in Khmer?
