The lawyer for a New Zealand man convicted of sex charges in Cambodia says his latest appeal hearing went well and they presented a good case.
Graham Cleghorn was convicted in 2004 of raping five women who worked for him, and was sentenced to 20 years in prison.
Yesterday, a Cambodia court heard Cleghorn's appeal in private, after a previous appeal was abandoned when witnesses were not summoned.
Cleghorn's Cambodian lawyer, Ry Ourky, says three out of the five complainants were cross-examined.
A decision on the appeal will be made next week.
