32 US Embassy Workers Fired for Sharing Underage Porn in Phnom Penh, Cambodia

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's made it to the Phnom Penh Post, but they just cut and pasted from Reuters:

The irony on that statement. At least they mentioned the source, a few times infact.

I think you missed the point. There isn't any new information in there, it's the same info we've already read. Waiting for the local English press to dive deep and give us some more answers.

It's very vague. They haven't really told us much about the arrests, they were just quick to point the blame at Cambodians and Khmericans, and say that no diplomats were fired, not even clarified if any diplomats if were involved, just that none have been fired over it.

I expect stories like these to break locally first, in the Phnom Penh Post or Khmer Times, not Reuters.
