Claims of sex abuse at B'tbong NGO circus; trial in France.
A Frenchman has been arrested and is awaiting trial in France on charges of sexual abuse against minors allegedly committed in Cambodia while working for the Battambong NGO Phare Ponleu Selpak. Apparently, the guy was arrested July 22 in France by French police, so this is not new; maybe the trial is starting soon ?
It would be interesting to compare this trial in France to a Cambodian equivalent: APLE are involved and the suspect says he was set up. Sounds familiar. There are also allegations of attempts to bribe the victim, as well as allusions to extortion attempts by the victim - it all sounds very Cambodian, so don't know what the French will make of it.
