Canadian Man (ANDREW EYRE) Poses as Doctor to Sexually Assault Village Children in Cambodia

Post by CEOCambodiaNews »

Andrew David Eyre arrested in Cambodia over child sex crimes.

Image
Cambodia News, Kandal province: On August 3, a 43-year-old Canadian man (now identified as ANDREW EYRE from Vancouver, BC) was arrested and appeared at Kandal Provincial Court and was charged with a number of offenses, including child rape and child molestation. He was remanded in custody for legal action. A search warrant was also issued for this accommodation, and some exhibits were collected as evidence.
The ECHO22 Joint Task Force from the Child Protection Unit (CPU) is assisting and cooperating with the Federal Police of Canada and the Office of the Federal Police of Canada in Thailand in investigating these crimes.

Image
The complaint was filed with the district police on the morning of August 1, when Andrew Eyre returned to the village. The district police inspectorate responded immediately as the suspect escaped from the police but was found and arrested at around 11am. On the evening of August 1st, the CPU was notified of an alleged rape of an 8-year-old child in Kandal Province. The CPU was informed that a 43-year-old foreign national had been detained by local police for allegations of impersonating a medical professional, and providing health check-ups for children in local villages, at which time he assaulted them. The CPU responded immediately to conduct an initial investigation. Task Force ECHO22 was established with the Ministry of Interior, Kandal Police Command and the CPU ICAC and FST teams to investigate the allegations.

It soon became apparent that there were other child victims living in the same villages and communes. The ECHO22 Joint Task Force, in collaboration with the Kandal Provincial Police Force, is preparing to establish the duration of the suspect's actions based on the descriptions of the child victims, and is continuing to gather additional evidence to substantiate the allegations of sexual assault. Authorities are investigating the whereabouts and activities of the suspect at the time of the allegations.

On the morning of the 2nd of August, CPU Child Protection Officers assisted the Anti-human Trafficking and Juvenile Protection Department of the Kandal Police Command in taking victim statements from 8 children whose ages ranged from 8 to 12yrs old. All child victims have received medical services and will receive ongoing welfare assistance.

Numerous allegations of indecent assault and rape were made. The incidents occurred in July 2022, when the suspect arrived at the village on his motorbike and told the villagers that he was a medical professional and was there to do a health check on children. The suspect was witnessed inappropriately touching the victims, raising concerns among adults. The suspect returned to the village on several occasions under the same pretense, however, was denied entry and the police were notified.

The investigation is ongoing. If anyone receives information related to this crime case, we encourage you to contact the Kandal Provincial Police or the CPU Child Protection Unit directly.

Hopefully this will be dealt with domestically .... Canada is much too lenient when it comes to this type of criminality and the current government has both removed mandatory minimum sentencing and reworded the legalize as to what constitutes pedophilia .... for shame .....

Don't recall the pixelation of face and name being withheld in arrests of this nature in the past

If the accusations are true he deserves all that's coming his way

I’m shocked that a certain NGO wasn’t the first to be involved. Their bread and butter money is producing foreigner pedophiles for their donors.

And bravo for the CPU. I have to agree with a previous poster. They seem to be doing their job of protecting children. Khmer or foreigner.

Quite an eye opener that even if this day and age, anyone can rock up anywhere, tell everyone they’re a medical professional, and willingly be handed as many kids as you can handle with absolutely no checks or balances.

Although the fact he was caught goes some way to show that locals are now suspicious enough of this type of thing to get the authorities involved.
The difference between animals and humans is that animals would never allow the dumb ones to lead the pack.

Is he wearing a white chef shirt with a black skirt?

Bottom pic he looks impressed with himself. ("Wait till the lads in the pedo group see this!") :tard:

It's the role-playing game aspect that disgust me, on top of his vice.
Make believe you're here to help, to cure, to use high skills for the benefit of locals, but no.
Not even feeding the saurians of a bankrupted local, willingly or not.
F**k him.
