Phnom Penh - An elderly Austrian has been remanded in custody on charges of sexually molesting two teenaged Cambodian boys, police said Wednesday. Olaf Achleitner, 64, was charged by Phnom Penh Municipal Court Tuesday with debauchery, the Cambodian term for sex-related charges, and has now been transferred to the capital's Prey Sar prison, police said.
Phnom Penh Municipal anti-trafficking police chief Eam Ratana said Achleitner had been charged with raping two 14-year-old boys at a guesthouse, but could face further charges.
"He confessed to raping these two and also a number of others," Ratana said by telephone.
He can be held up to six months under Cambodian law while investigations continue. If convicted he faces up to 20 years in prison.

Olaf Achleitner is my father. Does anyone know of his whereabouts or how I could contact him. He has not responded to my e-mail and I haven't heard from him in a while.
Remember behind every juicy "story" is a humble reality.

Are you sure that your father's original name was "Achleitner"? Couldnt it be possible that he was a journalist reporting from Cambodia in the time of "killing fields", who was said to have been kidnapped together with cameraman Dieter Bellendorf?
XY from Austria
