Swiss Man Arrested in Phnom Penh Child Prostitution Case

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.

This seems to be a controversial opinion in the West (though all my Khmer colleagues agree with me) but I think male pederasts who harm young boys should be given even harsher sentences for potentially creating a new generation of pederasts who'll go on to perpetuate the legacy they were given (unlike female rape victims, who generally do not do this), thus creating *that* much more societal harm.

Hopefully this monster will face extra charges for production of child pornography as well, then be extradited to Switzerland and serve his sentence all over again. 7-15 years is far too lenient (all my Western colleagues agree with me).

Tbh I don't know anywhere in the world that has adequate sentencing for crimes against children, for some fucked up reason. My own country Australia is fuckin shit for, I'm reminded of the sentencing in the Tialeigh Palmer case, which I'm still disgusted and angry at the QLD government for today. So at least he has the possibility of two sentences, which he surely wouldn't outlive. I hope Switzerland does that, anyone know?

Switzerland prisons are fare too luxurious for such a hefty crime. Clean cell, good foood, 5 star health cover.

As for "justice" in Switzerland: at the moment there is a huge church sexual abuse case pending going nowhere..therefore other offenders of the same may get treated with gloves too.

PS: a Swiss man who abused this daughter and her best friend for many years got sentenced to 6 years in Switzerland. Not very appropriate for my taste.
