Head teacher Loryman convicted and jailed for sex offences against children

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.

Head teacher Loryman convicted and jailed for sex offences against children

aged nine to 13 and paid their parents to let them stay with him
Stephen John Loryman, 57, lured boys aged nine to 13 to his flat in Phnom Penh
He lavished children with gifts and paid their parents to let them stay with him
Loryman, from Bradford, was raided by police at the apartment in November
They found him engaged in a sex act with a boy, while three others looked on.
A total of six victims were identified with five telling police they had been abused by the teacher.

Loryman was found guilty last Friday at the Phnom Penh Municipal Court of 'committing sexual acts against minors under 15'.

He was sentenced to 15 months in prison, three months of which were suspended, and he was ordered to pay compensation of £1,200 to two child victims and fined £620.

He was also banned from Cambodia for three years following his jail term.
This does not seem a very serious sentence for such a horrible crime against small children, a man in a position of trust.
10 years would to me be a starting place to life in prison.
