Cambodia sentenced an American man to more than two years in prison for committing indecent acts against minors, and has arrested a Frenchman accused of abusing boys, officials said.

The American, Thomas Wayne Rapanos, was sentenced to two and a half years in prison after being convicted of committing indecent acts against minors, said judge Din Sivuthy.

Rapanos, 55, was arrested in March after police raided a guesthouse and found a 12-year-old Vietnamese girl and a 16-year-old Cambodian girl in his room.

Frenchman Michel Roger Blanchard was arrested on Monday for sexually abusing four Cambodian boys aged between eight and 18.
