Stephen John Loryman Arrested for Purchasing Child Sex

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.

It could be true. It could be inaccurate information. However, it wouldn’t be prudent to have Cambodian kids living in your house without government approval (fostering situation or adoption). Taking the right steps is one way to protect yourself. I guess we will wait and see what evidence is found on his computer/smartphone. Otherwise he doesn’t have much going for him. Sort of looks like he has been hiding his activity if he doesn’t have proper approval.

He was charged in the court today, and the judge has issued an order for his detention while he awaits his trial.

His blog, of a couple of teachers in Cambodia trying to make a difference, sounds very normal IMO, but that doesn't prove anything I guess. It seems that for some time now they had "adopted" some street kids and were trying to give them a head start. There's a mention of renting some of them a place of their own to stay in (because they were sleeping on the street), sending kids to school, and taking the kids on outings.

Some of these "streetkids" have families who may not be doing so well. In this situation, it's not uncommon that the parents of the kids want a share in the new-found wealth. I would not defend a pedophile, and I won't, but for the moment the situation is unclear, and I think that the suspect deserves a certain presumption of innocence until further proof.
How to know ?

What I do know is that there are plenty of cases of informal "adoptions" of poor kids by westerners who put them through school etc because the parents are too poor. In all these cases, the kids are happy, but often, the parents also expect to be helped. When you take on a kid, you get the family as well. This is Cambodia.

It sounds like the only evidence against him at the moment is the testimony of a mother and victim/s and the fact that he bought the kids lots of stuff.

It’s not much in Cambodia. Slighted people do lie with no regard for the implications on others.
I hope the authorities have more than that.

Actually I hope they have nothing and no actual abuse has ever taken place. Feel sorry for the guy if that’s the case though.

In this series he's seen before and after cuffs have been put on in a room with young boys sitting on a mattress. It looks like the moment of the arrest and maybe that room is the crime scene. It's not looking very good.

I was wondering about the mattress.

If that's the only mattress in the house where he and 4 boys slept, it won't help his case.

I think it is him they call Steve the Regional Manager on this blog https://thekumimessenger.wordpress.com/?s=steve

Pictured far right. Notice the distinct Cambodia elephant pants on the broad. Is that the wife he mentioned on the Cambodia blog? The picture was taken in Uganda 2016.
