That's the first one in a while. Always Siem Reap.

I wonder if this guy is going to rot in prison like the British guy for 12 years -dont know what became of him. Michael Julian Leach. What if the allegations are false? Is there a way to determine that?

I think it's normally called an investigation; the process of determining if the allegations against somebody are true or false :dm:

Is it going to be a fair investigation?

Parents need a swift back hand too for being moronic.

What sane parent lets their kids go to some guys house?

Poverty is horrible, being a dim wit, careless parent is shameful.

I hope the courts deal with this properly.

Children are natural liars, especially when they have been corrupted with gifts. The court trying this case should bail the Belgian and deport him forthwith. I am sticking my neck out for this bloke because I have always found the Belgians to be decent folk. His presence in Cambodia weakens his case. At any rate, he should be let go on humanitarian grounds.

" At any rate, he should be let go on humanitarian grounds."

What?????? The man is charged with sexual assault of children. What are the humanitarian grounds? That he can go spread his perversion elsewhere?

I hope they investigate and if he's guilty then lock him up for a long time. Then send him back to Belgium. We've got several other "real winners" floating around Siem Reap that they could send along in a package deal.

Being charged does not automatically mean he is guilty. In allegations of this type, you cant prove guilt. In the interests of justice, he should bailed and deported. Am afraid, you cant lock him up and throw away the key.
