Englishman MARK SMITH (Golden Bridge International School Vice Principal) Arrested in Cambodia for Child Sex Crimes

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.

Are his children with their mother? Surely he wasn't allowed to leave the country with them...

Why wouldn't he be allowed to leave the country with them? Who would have stopped that?

Like Smith, I have full custody of my 2 children; granted by the Cambodian justice system. As in other systems, the other parent is granted access rights. Smith couldn't have legally taken the children out of the country without the permission of the mother and they would have been denied UK entry, if authorities follow the same procedures as Australia.
It is possible, as the children's mother gave Smith her full support during the course of his case.

Has he ever told his story publicly? Is he back in Cambodia? I see that his FB profile says "The Two Most Powerful Warriors Are Patience And Time," whatever that means.
