“She told police that she was traveling on the bus from Phnom Penh to Preah Sihanouk province. When the bus was just past the outskirts of Phnom Penh at about 3 or 4 a.m. on Tuesday, Long Sopheap fell over her and touched her body,” Mr. Chhun said. He declined to elaborate on the nature of the alleged assault, but said that Mr. Sopheap had denied the accusation.

“According to Long Sopheap, he sat down to pick up a blanket, and when he stood up he made contact with her,” Mr. Chhun said...

Chuon Narin, the provincial police chief, confirmed that Long Sopheap, 31, an assistant to a driver for the Virak Buntham bus company, was charged Thursday evening and sent to provisional detention at the Preah Sihanouk provincial prison.
