32 US Embassy Workers Fired for Sharing Underage Porn in Phnom Penh, Cambodia

Post by CEOCambodiaNews »

CAMBODIA NEWS: The United States embassy in Cambodia has fired 32 people after they were allegedly caught sharing pornographic material in a non-official chat group, several sources familiar with the matter said on Friday.

Four sources told Reuters that pornographic videos and photographs, including some featuring people under the age of 18, were shared in a Facebook Messenger chat group.

Some of the images were seen by the wife of an embassy worker who reported the incident to an official at the embassy. The matter was then forwarded to the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI), the sources said.

Any breakdown as to what percentage were Cambodian/Americans, Americans or Cambodian citizens? All I know is the long waits just got longer.

It sounds like some of them would qualify as "yanks," as I assume Cambodian -Americans (Khmericans) are American citizens.

"He said the 32 embassy workers included Cambodians and Cambodian-Americans. Many were guards and some were clerical staff. There were no diplomats among them, they said."

The article says it’s not possible to determine how many people work at the embassy. Back in 2016, the ambassador said there were 786 employees, 132 of whom were American.
