Two Naked American Tourist Sisters, Lindsey and Leslie Adams, Arrested in Siem Reap, Cambodia for taking nude photos at Angkor Wat Cambodia.
Siem Reap, Cambodia: 2 American sisters, Lindsey Adams and Leslie Adams, have been arrested for taking nude pictures at the Angkor Wat Temples Complex. They have been arrested but no charges have been filed yet. [UPDATE: LINDSEY ADAMS AND LESLIE ADAMS HAVE BEEN CHARGED AND DEPORTED TO THAILAND BY BUS]

Apsara Authority has confirmed that that Lindsey Adams and her sister Leslie Adams were caught at Preah Khan temple taking pictures of each other with their pants down.
"They lowered their pants to their knees and took pictures of their buttocks," said Keat Bunthan, a senior heritage police official in northwestern Siem Reap province.
This is clearly very upsetting to many Cambodians and comes just weeks after a series of naked foreigners have been arrested while naked in Cambodia. This includes three foreigners riding around on their motorbikes naked, three french guys taking completely nude pictures from behind in the Angkor Complex, a Western couple having sex on a tuk-tuk, and even a Japanese girl releasing pictures of herself posing topless in the Angkor Wat Temple.
The temples in Siem Reap, Cambodia are holy places for Cambodians, so they are very offended when foreigners run around them naked like they are on Spring Break in Cancun, Mexico.
A spokeswoman for Apsara Authority, Ms Chau Sun Kerya, told AFP, "Perhaps they did not know Angkor is a holy site. But their inappropriate activities affect the sanctity of the place." She considers the American tourists actions to be very offensive because Angkor is considered to be sacred ground.
Lindsey Adams and Leslie Adams, the 2 tourists from America have already admitted they have made a mistake by taking nude pictures of each other.
The Lindsey Kate Adams, 22 years old, and Leslie Adams, 20 years old, are both from Yuma, Arizona, but it seems Lindsey lives in Prescott, Arizona, where she just graduated university, and according to her Facebook is "retired" as of January 17, 2015. And Leslie Adams seems to be living in Tempe, Arizona and studying at Arizona State University.
They seem to be on a long holiday and have also done some previous traveling, at least to Europe.
Here's some photos of Lindsey and Leslie Adams in Cambodia:
Their court appearance in front of a judge, which is always fun:
UPDATE:
Apsara Authority declared that it had arrested two more foreigners for taking nude pictures at Preas Khan temple yesterday.
According to the declaration, Apsara Authority with the cooperation from Tourist Police Unit in Siem Reap and Heritage Protection Division in Siem Reap had prevented the act of taking nude pictures at Preas Khan temple around 10:00 am on 06/ Feb/ 2015. The foreigners are Lindsey Kate ADAMS, 22 years old and Leslie Jan ADAMS, 20 years old. Both of them are American.
Mr Koy Sao (Judge of Siem Reap Court) had declare on Saturday that the court decided to imprisoned them 6 months with 1,000,000 riel fine for each and banned them for re-entering Cambodia for 4 years, 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.
Mr Koy Sao added, “ Both of them confessed that they had taken nude pictures at the temple.
Both of them will be expelled from Cambodia tonight by bus from Siem Reap to Bangkok, Thailand.

UPDATE:
Ok, I've solved the mystery of where the nude photo was taken of Lindsey Adams under a waterfall with her arms up, topless with nothing but panties on:
It was taken on a previous vacation with her friends hiking in the Grand Canyon.
Here's the semi-nude picture of Lindsey Kate Adams:
And here is a picture of her friend in the exact same location:
There is mention of yoga, so maybe a nude yoga retreat.
