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.

It's a hard conversation because every time we have it there is the usual fool who says things like: OBVIOUSLY it's a setup.

Personally I think it's odd and it would never occur to me to defend someone accused of this sort of thing unless I actually know something about it, which these clueless morons yelling "setup" don't.
You dumbass know-it-all, you have no clue how law enforcement works, this is the 'Arrest Pushers or Users Argument' - LOL, you are not your avatar like you're some kind of intellectual typing out your grand opinions.....you are a joke.
The entire brothel was raided. Did you have an argument to make?

LEO expert, did it occur to you that maybe the parlor is a honeypot targeting western pedos? Could be good reason why there's just one arrest.

It is very possible that people that may be guilty of this kind of thing are also entrapped.
certainly they all claim this.
I have been visiting Cambodia since 2007 and lived in the city and provinces for over 4 years.

I have never been "profiled" as doing anything remotely untoward in either of my domiciliary countries outside of Cambodia.
I put that down to the authorities knowing very well what I am doing in Cambodia.

I think that's why they now don't do it, it doesn't happen anymore when I fly home. But they also asked questions when I returned from Amsterdam, so its not just Cambodia. So they asked and became satisfied I guess.

So you don't think this is possible or has ever happened? I have heard about it happening a lot. Of course I know that most guilty people would say it.

You have been reading too many Ricketson rants. It doesn't happen. There are only people like Mark Smith (still waiting) who say it was a setup by evil Khmers, or Fletcher being setup by evil Aple, Stefan Struik who "didn't know aaah eeeeh uuuuh" like he explained in his YouTube video where he defended his boyfriend psycho who tortured a 3 year old boy, and that sniper_m4 guy who claimed he had been mistsken for another pedo with the same name as him (surprise it was him all along).

Again, none of them were innocent.

prisons are full of innocent people.
So you don't think this is possible or has ever happened?
i said it never happened to me.
probably because everything i do is very overt.

maybe you get grilled because you come across as knowing a lot more than you actually know.

you say you never lived in PP.
that is certainly not the impression you give here.

maybe the authorities view that as inconsistent.
they are all over these boards and fb you know.

someone recently mentioned the social credit score the PRCs use, and said western democracies do it in a more stealthy way.
that is so, and if they surveill you for a while and you come up clean you move to trust but verify category.

I get the impression that this was not his first visit to this establishment. He confirmed that he was giving a girl $100 per month. I wonder how long that that had been going on for?
Now he's in the Big House as one of Bubba's many wives for the next 20 years. Oh well, what's for lunch.

The question was, do you not think its ever happened that a person was entrapped or worse, innocent of the charges but framed? And I don't just mean Cambodia.
the terms of reference are too broad to have any meaning.

i am certainly not aware of any where it comes to pedos in Cambodia. prey sar is full of convicted pedos who claim it though.
some people believe it i suppose, though it "looks bad" for those who do.

some fathers have been harassed in the past with their children by stalking twats on Riverside who were soon disabused of their assumptions.

This report says that police have said that Danny Lee Pope has been molesting and raping Cambodian children since 2007. (!!!)

March 5, 2019
American held over rape of five minors

Phnom Penh Municipal Court yesterday charged a suspected American paedophile who allegedly raped five underage Cambodian girls in the capital.

Colonel Keo Thea, municipal anti-human trafficking department chief, identified the accused as Pope Danny Lee, 60.

He said that Mr Pope was charged with rape with aggravating circumstances and also purchase of child prostitution and faces up to 15 years in jail if convicted. He is now in prison pending trial.

“He was a foreigner who committed sexual abuse on our Cambodian underage girls since 2007,” Col Thea said. “He was arrested on Saturday by our municipal anti-human trafficking police after he brought an underage girl from her home in Sen Sok district to rape her at a massage shop in Kakab 2 commune.”

Col Thea noted that Mr Pope was arrested at about 3 pm at the Srey Neang 871 Massage Shop in the commune’s Kbal Damrey 2 village.

He said that police arrested the accused following a complaint on Friday by the mother of a victim that Mr Pope had taken her daughter to be with him.
Col Thea said that after receiving the complaint police searched for the accused and later found him staying with the victim at the massage shop.

He added that after his arrest, police rescued five underage girls who were staying with him.
Col Thea said the five girls told police that they all had sex with Mr Pope.

A North Carolina resident was arrested on Monday in Cambodia after officials deemed he was engaging in illegal activity with underage children at a child sex brothel. Danny Pope was caught in the capital city Phnom Penh when the brothel was raided on Saturday. He was in a private room.

Both Pope and the brothel had been monitored for a couple of days prior to the raid. The 59-year-old told officials he only gave one of the five prostitutes taken into custody, three of whom were minors, money “for food and clothes.” He gave one of the girls $100 a month.

Via the Daily Mail, a spokesman for the Anti-Human Trafficking and Minor Protection Office said in a statement that Pope was facing charges of “rape, aggravating circumstances and soliciting child prostitution.”

Sex tourism is a major industry in Cambodia. By one estimate, a quarter of all the foreign visitors to Cambodia in the early 2000s were sex tourists. A 2017 report from ABC News called the country a "sordid world where sex is the hot commodity and children are still used as currency."
