Cambodia News, PHNOM PENH: A karaoke girl, who has been forced to work as a sex worker in a karaoke bar in Por Senchey district, opposite Phnom Penh International Airport, filed a complaint with police on 4 November 2019.

Tearfully, the woman explained that her Chinese boss at the karaoke, named Jin Jin, forced her to sleep with his guests for money. But she was paid very little, and on 4 November, there was an incident where she refused some Chinese customers who repeatedly slapped and hit her. And then her Chinese boss threw her out on to the street.
Desperate, the woman decided to complain to the relevant authorities at Chom Chau police station, so that action would be taken against her boss, and that other women would not be tricked into working for him. However, it is not known if the charges against the man will be followed up by the police or not.

If there isn't any follow up by cops, front of airport, close to immigration, Chineses involved, then i guess there isn't any hope for the other pending cases.

Move your asses, cops.

Proximity to the cops is irrelevant. The local cops may have been treated to tea or this Jin Jin or his boss may be politically protected.

If she wants justice, she should post on Facebook. Maybe one of the Khmer bloggers will carry her story and get public sympathy and the ear of Iron Man. Then the cops will be forced to act.

Just another reason to stay as the eternal tourist to the KOW.

That's if you actually believe the lady being 'forced'.

Another angle is she is a hooker who got paid less money than she wanted and decided to exact revenge.

Otherwise why mention she only got paid a little... and kept working there!!

Using the "Tearful Pussy Pass" Routine

Only for debate you understand. It could be she is truthful and Jin Jin will be prosecuted. More facts needed.

It could also be that she is truthful and that JinJin will not be prosecuted.
Let's not forget that she says that she was beaten up by "customers", perhaps hit by several Chinese guys according to the report, and then her boss threw her out on the street. I don't care if she was prostituting herself; nobody deserves to be treated like that.
It is not an easy decision for sex workers to complain to police. They know that they don't count for much, even when they are beaten or raped. I'm not against prostitution between consenting adults, but don't let's kid ourselves that all prostitution is freely consented.

Well if she's truthfull and nothing is done, then it's really a low, lower than i expected.
Not that i had high expectancies about Khmer cops in general, but that would lower it more anyway.

I guess catching the American dealer from Bangkok would be more rewardfull for sure...will they even move their asses for this one ? I'm not even sure

Yep - the third angle is on the books.

If she was assaulted as she alleges - I'm on her side 100%

Let me show an example. I was out and went to a GH with a lady. I called off the session as I became a little dubious inside the room. She then proceeded to block me from leaving and became violent even though I had paid her the time.

I managed to leave, but in the street I was accosted by her and her B/F pimp or whatever who she told I had hit her (completely untrue) and they started the shake-down.

Situations like this can completely escalate so I handed over 10 bucks and went on my way.

Other instances involve a guy I knew who was suddenly accused of rape by his ex. He was almost killed in the street when word went around and left town. In the end the woman served time for false allegations.

This explains my reasons for not entirely believing this story without credible witnesses among her colleagues

Is Jin Jin a common Chinese name? post370699.html#p370699
