Police launch hunt for young boy pictured holding hands in Cambodia with British suspect facing child sex abuse charges

A chilling photograph shows Sheppard with the little boy, wearing an orange T-shirt and gazing up at the Briton, and another boy.

The trio was photographed by investigators from child protection group Action Pour Les Enfants (APLE), which alerted police to Sheppard’s alleged behaviour.

Is he facing child sex charges because of that picture?

Apparently he had priors and was out on bail. Probably deserved.

Did you see they even managed to insert Gary glitter and Fletcher in the article?

After Verdict, Elderly Child Abuser at Large

by Khy Sovuthy and Sek Odom | June 18, 2016

A 77-year-old British man was sentenced to 18 months in prison on Friday after being convicted of sexually molesting three boys in Siem Reap City, according to court officials. But he has not been seen in months.

The disappearance of Roy Sheppard follows that of Indian national Raj Deo, 46, who was found guilty of assaulting a 14-year-old girl on Thursday and sentenced to 14 months, also at the Siem Reap Pro­vincial Court, also in absentia.

Both men were released on bail before their cases went to trial, and no attempts have been made to rearrest them, according to police.

Judge Nguon Nara, who pre­sided over Mr. Sheppard’s case, confirmed the guilty verdict and prison sentence on Friday but refused to comment further.

Mr. Sheppard was charged with committing indecent acts against two 13-year-old boys and one 15-year-old boy in October. He spent two months in provisional detention before being released on bail due to high blood pressure, according to Samleang Seila, country director for anti-pedophile NGO Action Pour Les Enfants.

The retiree molested the boys after luring them to his home, Mr. Seila said.

Poor little Camboland, to be such a 'haven for pedophiles' and 'sex tourist magnet'. I'd rather be known for lousy food or a disgusting teamcoach.

only 18 months? too short!!

Shame shame shame.
Roy Sheppard,77, British retiree, and Raj Deo,47, T-shirt vendor, are still at large after being convicted of sexually assaulting children in June 2016 while released on bail in Siem Reap. No arrest warrants have been issued, so technically they are not even "wanted" by the police, despite being found guilty and convicted to 18 and 14 months prison respectively.

Nearly three months after two foreigners were convicted in absentia of sexually assaulting children in Siem Reap, the provincial court has failed to issue arrest warrants for the men, whose whereabouts are unknown.
Both were out on bail at the time of their convictions, and the Siem Reap Provincial Court did not issue an arrest warrant for either, using a legal loophole to grant them a 45-day window to request a retrial or appeal the decision.

But with that period long expired, the convicted child abusers remain free.

APLE believes that both men are in Cambodia and may even still be in Siem Reap:

APLE is also pushing the Indian Embassy to get involved in the case, Mr. Seila said, given that “it is highly likely that he [Raj Deo] is still around in the country and exposed to children.”

As for Mr. Sheppard, he said the Briton filed an appeal with the court in July, but no hearing has been scheduled and APLE believes he is still in Siem Reap.

Siem Reap, the new hub for the Pedos

This is totally not ok. TWO foreigners convicted for sexual offenses against minors in Siem Reap go free. One could be a lapse of judgement, but two ?
From CD June 18, 2016:

Judge Nguon Nara, who pre­sided over Mr. Sheppard’s case, confirmed the guilty verdict and prison sentence on Friday but refused to comment further.

Mr. Sheppard was charged with committing indecent acts against two 13-year-old boys and one 15-year-old boy in October. He spent two months in provisional detention before being released on bail due to high blood pressure, according to Samleang Seila, country director for anti-pedophile NGO Action Pour Les Enfants.

The spokesman said on Friday, however, that because the court con­sidered Mr. Deo’s crime—sexually assaulting a 14-year-old girl—a misdemeanor, he had 30 days to contest the verdict before authorities attempted to arrest him.

Why not just say "Come to Siem Reap if you want to assault minors - boys or girls. We won't judge you."
