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.

Shouldn't we all have waited until we heard his side of things before we ,, the internet jury,,, judged him guilty ?

It was a CPP conspiracy to get money from the CNRP supporting owner of the school. That's the story that will clear him from everything. His father said he's a top bloke.

Yeah, he's been given a platform, and has even said he was going to post, then changed that and said his dad will post, and even that hasn't happened yet.

I don't know the ends and outs of it all, but I kinda feel he loses some credibility when he says he'll let CEO know what happened, then doesn't.

Well maybe he was waiting for his British court case to be over before writing his tell all, just to give it a proper conclusion (or maybe not to jeopardize his case)....If he was thinking of writing a book to get money from him it is unlikely anyone will be interested now that this has come about. I have no idea about the UK legal system but I would assume it is evidence based, ergo they have received evidence from Cambodia of his case, of the charges, of the conviction and of the sentence he was given and also why he had to leave Cambodia.

If he says he wasn't charged and if i recall General you saw him out and about as free man and that he was just leaving Cambodia due to damaged reputation and fear for his safety as a CNRP stooge then none of this would have attracted any attention from the British courts I would think. So how has it come to court and put him on a register....they must have seen some evidence.....

Sadly, I have to agree.

He's not got a British court case. If you are convicted of a sexual crime against minors overseas, which he has been, but the sentence compared to committing the crime in the UK is considered too lenient, a la Glitter, then you get a British court case. However he's not, he's got an order to sign the Sex Offender's Register. In order for the offence not to stand he has to get it rescinded or commuted in Cambodia.
