Re: Stephen John Loryman Arrested for Purchasing Child Sex
Phnom Penh: On 28 November 2018, police officials from the Anti-Trafficking and Minor Protection Department sent a British suspect to the Phnom Penh Municipal Court on charges of sexual abuse of children under 15 years of age.
STEPHEN JOHN LORYMAN , a 57-year-old British school teacher, was arrested after police became suspicious because he had four young boys living with him.
From the testimony of the witnesses, it was concluded that the suspect had committed sexual assault and rape on children, using money and gifts as payment. One of the victims said that they had been given phones, food, shelter, clothes, school equipment, bicycles and money.
The case is still on-going as the court examines the evidence.

There is no problem with schools hiring gay teachers.
The problem is when they hire paedophiles.
As he was previously working in a British school, I presume he had no criminal history.
There may have been no way of knowing he was a paedophile, if in fact he is guilty.

Re: Stephen John Loryman Arrested for Purchasing Child Sex
The story has made the Daily Mail:
https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/articl ... bodia.html
British teacher, 57, is arrested on suspicion of child sexual abuse after being found with four schoolboys at his home in Cambodia
A former deputy headmaster from Bradford was found with four young boys
Steve Loryman had been volunteering in Cambodia with his wife since 2017
Cambodian police say the boys were under 15 and they were alerted by a mother
The police allege that Loryman used phones, bicycles and food to groom them
By Ross Ibbetson For Mailonline
A British former deputy headmaster has been arrested after allegedly sexually abusing schoolboys in Cambodia by luring them to his house with gifts.
Steve Loryman, 57, had been volunteering in the south east Asian country with his wife Alison since June 2017.
Police said they received a complaint from a mother of one of the boys claiming he was being abused by Loryman.
According to social media, Loryman previously volunteered with a Christian mission in Sierra Leone
The Brit, who taught at a school in Bradford, West Yorkshire, was arrested at his rented home in the capital Phnom Penh on Sunday at around 1pm.
Police claim there were four boys all under the age of 15 with him at the time.
Police photos show three of the children sitting on the ground while another sits on a chair behind him.
A statement from the Cambodian General Commissariat of National Police said that Loryman had been sent to the Phnom Penh Municipal Court today.
They said: 'Police of the Anti-Human Trafficking and Juvenile Protection Department on 28 November 2018 sent a British suspect to the Phnom Penh Municipal Court to enforce the legal procedure involving child prostitution under 15 years of age.'
Lieutenant Colonel Lal Lin, the chief of the child protection department, said that the suspect had been renting a plot of land in the Khan Chbar Ampov district.
Newspaper cuttings show that Loryman was a former deputy headmaster at Eastwood Primary School in Keighley, Bradford
Lt. Col. Lal Lin said: 'On November 25, 2018, at 12:30 am, the suspect brought four boys to his rented home.
'On suspicion, the police reported to the Deputy Prosecutor requesting to check the above rental address.
'In monitoring and with the cooperation of relevant authorities, police found that there were four children with the suspect, and the police followed the procedure and brought the suspect and some electronics and four children to the department for questioning.'
The statement said that 'according to the victim's comments', Loryman 'used various means to attack the child. For example, by donating money, buying a phone, buying food, taking a walk, buying clothes, buying school supplies, buying bicycles and so on.'
Police said that there were complaints from a mother and her child, which lead them to take action.
The statement added: 'It is concluded that the suspects sexually assaulted and molested the children by using money and materials to attract them.
'It is decided to build a case to send the suspects to the Phnom Penh Court for disciplinary action and to follow the appropriate legal process.'
According to Loryman's social media entries from 2012, he had been working in Sierra Leone since 2006 with a Christian based charity called Mission Direct.
In 2012 he self-published a fiction book called 'Kissy Boys' which tells the story of a child 'abducted from his home and destined to be used for body parts or as a sacrifice in a ritual.'
Reports in Keighley News say that Loryman was a former teacher and then deputy head at Eastwood Primary School in the town of Keighley in Bradford, West Yorkshire.

Re: Stephen John Loryman Arrested for Purchasing Child Sex
No, sorry but most sexual abuse is committed by heterosexual males. According to Ann Salter, the average child molester victimises between 50 and 150 children before he is ever arrested (and many more after he is arrested).
Anyone who is interested in safeguarding their own children or is responsible for the safeguarding of others, should read Predators: Pedophiles, Rapists, And Other Sex Offenders by Anne Salter. It's also commonly used in graduate studies for many relevant subjects. Also recommended for women.
A world-renowned expert provides a psychological profile of serial sex offenders-how they think, how they deceive their victims, and how they elude the law.. Psychologist Anna Salter has been studying sexual offenders and their victims for more than twenty years. What she has learned in countless hours of interviews with sexual predators-from respected community leaders to clergymen and trusted family friends-will shock and outrage readers.
What motivates sexual abusers?
Why are so few caught?
Drawing on the stories of abusers, told in their own words, Salter shows that sexual predators use sophisticated deception techniques and deliberately rely on misconceptions surrounding them to evade discovery. A man who raped more than ninety people tells how he fooled authorities by inserting elements of truth into his story. As recent reports of abuse by priests have shown, abusers often lead double lives in their communities. Two girls repeatedly raped in front of each other told Salter that their assaulter was "still moderator of the town meetings."
Arguing that even the most knowledgeable among us can be fooled, Salter dispels the myths surrounding sexual predators and gives us the tools to protect our families and ourselves.

People are beginning to defend the accused on other social media, including one suggestion that the arrest is the result of false accusations made by a colleague who was angry with Steve.

Not taking sides here but,, if he was innocent, what evidence would he need to show to prove to everyone that he was innocent ?
Cambodia,,,, Don't fall in love with her.
Like the spoilt child she is, she will not be happy till she destroys herself from within and breaks your heart.

Was thinking that myself. He’s been stupid and naive for sure and should have known better.Duncan wrote:Not taking sides here but,, if he was innocent, what evidence would he need to show to prove to everyone that he was innocent ?
But none of the reports say there is much evidence like child testimony or physical proof. Seems to be mainly a complaint from a parent. Also not saying he is innocent, but his name is now plastered everywhere now as a pedophile with limited published evidence - what would/could he do to rectify this if it is the result of a bitter parent/co -worker. Probably little he can do I imagine.
