British Doctor Clive Cressy Arrested in Cambodia on Pedophile Charges at Jars of Clay in Phnom Penh

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.

He has a Vietnamese wife and the child victims are also Vietnamese.

She's Khmer (ethnically), not Vietnamese.
That might account for the Cambodia passport they found and was shown in some of the photos. It was only the front cover, not the ID page, but if I had to punt a dollar it would be on it being hers.

I'd also punt another dollar on that creepy fucker dying in jail, he's got a long sentence coming. :thumb:

Ah, someone is paying attention. I'd forgotten all about that mystery.

So we're guessing an ethnic Vietnamese with Cambodian citizenship?

Out of curiosity, how do you know this? It seems like the article says he also visits Vietnam often as well, as far as what my impression of what it says from a few translations.
Because when comparing her face to full ethnic Khmer to ethnic Vietnamese, she (in my opinion) pulls very hard to the Khmer side. Her name is also Chea SokThea...not a Vietnamese name.

Alleged Pedophile’s Partner Brokered Sex: Police
1 May 2017
The girlfriend of a U.K. man has been arrested for allegedly convincing underage girls to have sex with the 69-year-old in Phnom Penh, police said on Sunday.
Chea Sokthy, 27, was arrested on Friday the day after police arrested Clive Cressy in a raid on his apartment in Chamkar Mon district, said Keo Thea, chief of the municipal anti-human trafficking bureau.
“She was the one who convinced the girls to have sex with the British man,” Mr. Thea said, adding that the couple had lived together in Phnom Penh for three years.
Police on Thursday said that four girls—aged 12, 13, 14 and 15—had been prostituted by an aunt, who was being detained and questioned.
Mr. Thea said Ms. Sokthy had admitted to taking one of the girls to Mr. Cressy.
The other three had also told police that they had been convinced by her, he added.
A charge of purchasing prostitution has been suggested for Mr. Cressy and soliciting child prostitution for Ms. Sokthy.
Mr. Thea said both suspects would be sent back to court today.

And now it's made its way to The Sun:

"SICK BAG OF TRICKS

Brit doctor, 69, arrested in Cambodia ‘for sexually abusing girls as young as 12’ had suitcase stuffed with kid’s clothes and Barbie dolls

DISTURBING pics show a British doctor’s suitcase stuffed full of kids’ clothes and Barbie dolls after he was arrested for allegedly paying for sex with virgins as young as 12.

Clive Cressy, 69, was arrested at a cafe on Thursday in Cambodia’s capital, Phnom Penh, following a police investigation and was charged on Tuesday.
"

And I just spoke with someone from the BBC, so I assume they'll have something up shortly if they can get the answers they're looking for. I was of no help. :( I passed him off to James McCabe of the Child Protection Unit, although I'm not even sure if he's on this case, but it's definitely the kind of case he deals with.

And APLE Cambodia shared our link on their Facebook page, so maybe this story is just getting a late start. Seems the creepy pictures of the Clive Cressy with children's clothing and toys would be enough on its own to get more people to pick up this story.

Crazy how long some stories take to get international coverage.

Brit tried for having sex with minors
Image
Phnom Penh Municipal Court yesterday tried a British man and his Vietnamese wife for allegedly forcing four minors to have sex with the husband after illegally adopting them.

Presiding Judge Thlang Phaneth identified them as Clive Robert Kingsley, 69, and Chea Sokthy, 27, both staying in a rented apartment in Chamkar Mon district.

Judge Phaneth noted that Mr Kingsley is charged with purchasing child prostitution and faces up to 15 years in jail if convicted, while Ms Sokthy is charged with soliciting child prostitution and faces up to five years in jail if convicted.

Colonel Keo Thea, municipal anti-human trafficking and juvenile protection department chief, said Mr Kingsley in 2016 told his wife to persuade the families of four young Vietnamese girls to allow him to raise them and teach them English. He noted that the victims were aged between nine and 13 years.

“But while the four victims were staying with them, the husband offered them between $2,000 and $3,000 each for them to have sex with him anytime he wanted,” Col Thea said.

He said that on April 27 last year, a child protection NGO saw Mr Kingsley with the children and followed them to his apartment.

Col Thea noted that NGO representatives waited until two children came outside and asked them why they were with him. He said that the children told them what was going on and the NGO alerted police.

Col Thea added that anti-human trafficking and juvenile protection police then raided the apartment and arrested the couple and rescued the four girls.

During yesterday’s trial, both accused denied the charges. They admitted that they adopted the four girls from poor families living in the city so that Mr Kingsley could teach them English.

Mr Kingsley told the court that he is an English Literature teacher and came to Cambodia in 2015. He noted that he taught the subject at a private school in the city.

Mr Kingsley said that the reason why he told Ms Sokthy to bring the four victims to stay with them was because they were from poor families and he wanted to teach them English to make it easier for them to find work when they were older.

He denied that he sexually abused the children.

Kingsley's wife, after several months on the run, was captured earlier this year, accused of being an accomplice who forced minors to have sex with her husband:
