The Kampot provincial court on Tuesday began proceedings in a suit against a military official brought by Sam Rainsy Party Deputy Secretary-General Mu Sochua.
A court prosecutor said he questioned Mu Sochua in court Tuesday morning, declining further comment.
Mu Sochua, who brought a suit against Brig. Gen. San Sman, who she claims assaulted her during a dispute in Kampot ahead of July's national election.
Mu Sochua said Tuesday she had filed three complaints against San Sman: assault, sexual harassment and attempted murder.
"My request is to urge the court to have a hearing in this case very soon," she said.
During an argument, "the army general assaulted Mu Sochua and her shirt became undone, leaving her half-naked in front of a crowd of men," the party said in a statement ahead of Tuesday's proceedings.
In Cambodian courts, a prosecutor determines whether a case goes on to an investigating judge. Kampot prosecutors must now question San Sman, according to procedure.
San Sman denied the accusation in a brief comment Tuesday.
"If I had rancor with her, it would be right to accuse me of attempted murder," he said. "But she and I never knew each other."
He called the case a "political issue" and declined further comment.

Go ahead General, kill the half chinese, white man-fucking bitch who disquises as a Kmer nationalist. Half chinese like them only rake in profits off the backs of our poor Khmers. That goes for everyone of them, in any political party, or organization. They never send their kids to die in battle fields in defense of our Khmer land. Only the pure Khmers shoulder the hardship in defense of our nation. Many of them take advantage of the Khmere Rouge brutality by writing books professing themselves as experts on Khmer culture and claiming themselves as nationalists. Fact of the matter is, they are half Chinese, married or dating a white man or another foreigner, on top of that they are Jesus freaks. These ingredients are so unlike Khmer. Yet they still have the nerve to claim themselves unashameably as Khmer patriots. No offense to the true Chinese nationals. I have lots of them as friends. But the Chinese-Cambodian (they preferred to be called that way) are just parasites in our Khmer blood veins. If you half Chinese want to fit in, send your brothers and sons to fight along side my Khmer friends at the Preah Vihear Khmer border. And don't give me your concocted conspiracy that Hun Sen is using the standoff to boost his popularity. Our Khmer soldiers are facing real harship and real dangers, regardless of what the politicians do. I know, because I fought along side with them for half a decade. OTHERWISE, WE NEED ANOTHER KHMER ROUGE-STYLED REVOLUTION.
You'e f*cking son of a gun 6:00am. You're sick. If found gulity that f*cking general'd better go to prison for life. There is no such thing as to honor an attempted harassement attempted raped and murdered person. You 're one sick Khmer and should be so ashamed of yourself asshole!
This may be why some Cambodian women chose to marry a white men or someone else rather than their own race, becuase some of them are truly sick and needs helps bad.
No evidence, no case, stop wasting time with the bitch!
Is Sok An a paras parasite ? Look ! Sok An, Cham Prasith, Bun Rany ( Hun Sen's wife) are all Chinese-Cambodians. If you ( the 6:00am) think Chinese-Cambodians are just the parasites, that means Sok An, Cham Prasith, Bun Rany are also the parasites.
Halaluya!
Thank you for working hard to improve Khmer Women status!
You are my model. Having a great name in the history will be important than having a luxury non-sense life.
When I was a boss in an NGO 7 years go, many men against me, too?
But at least, we have more chance to protect Khmer women when we have more power.
No power, women will like the hostess at the restaurant who was grabbed in the car and were raped in Prek Leap.
Cambodia is the rule of jungle!
let the court put this crazy dog general in jail and disposition him .
Oh dear me 6:00AM I believed that you were graduated from jungle school. You spoke like the beasts (satt derechhan).
She must be already big & deep if she's married to a white man.
