I am not in Phnom Penh at the moment to do so.
As per Article 7 of the TSE Law, a minor is any person under the age of 18 years. It should be noted that Chapter 6 (Articles 42-44) of the TSE Law grants minors who are 15 years and older (that is, persons aged from 15 years to under 18 years) the capacity to consent to engage in sexual relations, but the law does not grant such minors the capacity to engage in prostitution. All prostitution involving any minor (anyone under the age of 18 years) is considered child prostitution, and is illegal under the TSE Law.

I do realise that police on occasion may make up laws to suit their own agenda, but if you read the current law on the suppression of human trafficking it is quite clear.
Go back to my original post on page two I coppied and pasted this again because people seemed to have missed the original.Kuroneko wrote: ↑Sat Apr 28, 2018 11:26 amAnd the law states:Artful Dodger wrote: ↑Fri Apr 27, 2018 3:47 amIn a conversation I had with a district chief of police in P.P. I have known many years, the topic came up a while back about illegal brothels and 'under age' girls. He said that while a brothel is illegal under Cambodia law, they take on a 'pseudo' law approach that a sex worker in a brothel must be at least 21 years of age, as is the case in many countries around the world. Meaning, that if a sex worker in a brothel is under 21, she is deemed to be a minor.John Bingham wrote: ↑Thu Apr 26, 2018 11:44 pmI don't want to get into murky arguments about the age of consent here or elsewhere (they both look very young), but since when was a 19-year-old considered a minor here or in any neighboring countries?The Vietnamese victims are two female minors, aged 15 and 19.
This would explain how the police in this case deemed the 19 year old to be a minor.
Child Prostitution
The definition of child prostitution set out in the second paragraph of this article uses the same definition as for adult prostitution (defined in the first paragraph), with the important difference that the sexual intercourse or other sexual conduct must take place with a minor. Therefore, the definition of child prostitution set out in this article applies whenever the following elements are present:
1)An actor (either an adult or a minor)
2)has sexual activity (sexual intercourse or other sexual conduct)
3)with a minor (any person aged under 18 years)
4)in exchange for anything of value.
It should be noted that the actor (the one who purchases child prostitution) may be an adult or a minor.
As per Article 7 of the TSE Law, a minor is any person under the age of 18 years. It should be noted that Chapter 6 (Articles 42-44) of the TSE Law grants minors who are 15 years and older (that is, persons aged from 15 years to under 18 years) the capacity to consent to engage in sexual relations, but the law does not grant such minors the capacity to engage in prostitution.
