Motodop Arrested After Attempting to Rape British Expat LAURA MCFADYEN in Battambang
Posted: Sun Jul 08, 2018 9:56 pm
UPDATE: There is more to this story that appears, according to the victim, Laura McFadyen, who has reached out to CEO News to get the facts straight. She says it was more than just a robbery, and in fact an actual rape attempt. Here is the story in her own words as told to CEO:
'I was on my way home from dinner with friends and took a motodop. He took me into the countryside despite me asking him (in Khmer) to stop driving.
He then stopped on a countryside road with no lights or people and tried very violently to remove my clothes.
When I fought back with him he pulled out a gun. It has since come to my attention through the police that it was a replica, however, I am sure you can understand, in the pitch black, back end of nowhere, and not being a professional gun analyst that this is completely irrelevant.
The man realized he was getting nowhere with his attempted rape because I continued to fight with him. He then demanded money and when I said I didn't have any he snatched my phone off the ground and then he, as you say 'skedaddled'.
I have just returned from my third day with the police, who to be fair on them, have made surprising progress in a short amount of time. They caught the guy yesterday after me identifying his photo.
He has been arrested numerous times before, the last time in March 2018 for producing fake dollar bills, however, the police informed me that prior to my report, two separate Khmer girls have come to them with the same story and it is highly likely the culprit is the same person.
Thank you for your kind response and I really appreciate the story being correct.
Another important piece of information for me to be clear on is that I love Cambodia and its people and one disgusting piece of vermin rapist could never change my opinion about the kingdom.
Thanks for your time as I appreciate your report on a lot of cases across the country and do so in such a timely manner. I normally really enjoy your website's content.
Should you require any further information, please do not hesitate to contact me further.
Kind Regards,
Laura McFadyen'
