Let me speculate wildly that you are French and have been 'hanging out' at Angkor Wat recently.

Is Rodolphe Fourgeot a famous football player or something? Or is it soccer? Image

I still can't tell if Rodolphe Fourgeot (Rodolphe Frgt on Facebook) is a famous player or not.

Either way, here is a picture of him half-naked with an elephant:

Ok, so it looks like they are all friends from back in France, and maybe Alexandre Vix lives in New York now. He might be involved in sports, but doesn't appear to be famous:

One thing is certain: Vincent Bocquet flew from Paris, France to Taipei, Taiwan using a Hello Kitty ticket.

Hey Zeb, you should change your name to "zob" if you want to be credible on this forum :fool:

Note : zob is a slang French term for a soft cock.

It's already been reported in the local press, so there is no reason to remove it. If the perps are that sensitive about having their details online, perhaps they should refrain from streaking in public. A very stupid move on their part, in the light of the recent uproar about nude pictures at temples.
Silence, exile, and cunning.

Re: 3 French Tourists Arrested For Nude Photos at Angkor Wat

Three French tourists in their early twenties have been arrested by Cambodian authorities for taking nude photos of each other inside the country's famed Angkor temple complex, officials said Friday.

The male tourists were discovered inside the Banteay Kdei temple at the world heritage site on Thursday, Chau Sun Kerya, spokeswoman for the Apsara Authority -- the government agency managing the Angkor complex -- told AFP.

"The temple is a worship site and their behaviour is inappropriate. They were nude," she said.

Keat Bunthan, a senior heritage police official in northwestern Siem Reap province, confirmed the nationalities of the arrested and said many Cambodians would be offended by the tourists' actions.

"Their activities affect our culture. Nobody should take nude pictures at ancient temples," he told AFP.

The three were all in their early 20s, according to passport details released by the Cambodian authorities.

The Apsara Authority said in a statement that the three tourists have "admitted they really made a mistake by taking nude pictures".

The agency added Cambodian police were building a case against them and that they faced two possible charges.

The first -- public exposure -- is punishable by up to six months in prison and a maximum $120 fine while a second charge of making pornography could see the trio jailed for up to a year and fined $500.

The tourists were caught just days after a series of photos of Asian women posing nude at ancient Cambodian temples went viral online and outraged officials.

The Angkor Archaeological Park, a world heritage site, contains the remains of the different capitals of the Khmer Empire, dating from the 9th to the 15th century and is Cambodia's most popular tourist destination.

The trial of the three French tourists (Rodolphe Stephane Marie Fourgeot, Vincent Henri Bocquet and Alexandre Andre Raymond VIX)

Siem Reap, Cambodia: On 30 January, 2015, the court of Siem Reap opened the case of three French tourists who had taken naked pictures at the temples and the judgment took place immediately after the three French tourist were brought to the court.

After the trial JudgeKoy Sao decided to imprisoned them 6 months with 1,000,000 riel fine for each, as they were charged of trafficking pornography and exposing sexual organs in Article 39, paragraph 3 of the law on human trafficking and sexual exploitation in Article 249 of the Penal Code. However, the punishment was suspended in accordance with Article 107,109,111 of the Penal Code. So, they only need to pay 100,000 riel fine and they were banned to enter Cambodia for four years. In addition, the judge decided to confiscate some exhibits from them such as one Iphone, one Iphone 4, a camera, memory card, one video camera, one speaker, two camera stands and two phone chargers.

The three French tourists confessed in front of the judge that they took the naked pictures and they will apologize to the whole nation. Not to mention, they will not do it again.

Very astute to remember to confiscate the chargers. :lol:
