Phnom Penh - A Cambodian grandmother is seeking a record sexual harassment payout after accusing her 55-year-old, one-legged neighbour of attacking her, groping her breasts and stealing a kiss, police said Monday.
Bavel district deputy police chief, Kom Reiy, of the northwestern province of Battambang said Pin Mean had demanded a settlement of 1,800 dollars.
She is demanding that her 'fumbling' and love-struck neighbour, named as Moung, pay restitution for allegedly attacking her from behind and forced himself on her.
'He denies the attack so at this stage we are still investigating - it is an unusual case,' Reiy said. 'We have no idea why he may have decided to fall in love, but she does not love him back.'
If Mean does win the record settlement in court for Friday's alleged attack, it would be a landmark decision in a country where sexual harassment usually goes unpunished and the majority of people live on less than a dollar a day.

of course, there is always first time for most things in cambodia. someone got to do it. this is how the rest of the world is evolved as well; cambodia just happened to be the late comer to the scene. welcome, cambodia!
Just chop off his other leg.
I he keep harassing her again than chop off his small and short middle leg.
Sounds fishy! She did not like him making the fence, said she 70 years-old and "kann sael," but is demanding an unsual (by Cambodian standards) sum of money. If you read Koh Santepheap, she graphically described how her boobs got bruised - without being ashamed. Anyway, true or untrue that poor guy is "up a creek without a paddle." Crap, if your reputation is to be ruined, it should not be because of a puke-faced old woman! What has the world come to???
more from 9:54AM:
damned, even young and good-looking Phnom Penh hookers would not charge $1,800.00 for just groping and kissing!!!
Mature cost more.
oh, you are so funny, 10:26 AM. (lmao!)
