A 16-year-old hostess (beer girl) working for a “beer garden” in Chamcar Mon (Phnom Penh) was abused by two men during the night of Saturday 05 September.
The two men who committed the crime were customers of the restaurant and they got acquainted with the young hostess during the evening. Lying in waiting in their car, they waited until the young girl and her mother – who always accompanied her daughter back to their nearby home every evening – to walk by and asked mother and daughter to follow them under the threat of a gun. The kidnappers got rid of the mother soon after by pushing her out of the car during the trip. In the process, the kidnappers also dropped one of their guns on the road. The car then took off to one of the numerous “love hotels” – guesthouse-like for short stay – located in Prek Leap, outside the city along National Road No. 6.
In spite of the screaming and the call for help by the victim, a room was still rented for them. The owner of the establishment did not even register their names, as required by the district police. Clients of the hotel, as well as the employees, turned a blind eye to the desperate begging for help by the victim who was raped by the two men. After their misdeed, the pair then took off in their car without any problem.
The young girl came out of the room after the rapists left, she then borrowed a phone from an employee to call her boss who came to fetch her. He then took her to the police station to file her complain. Her mother brought along the piece of evidence: the gun dropped on the road. The gun bears a serial number and if it belongs to a cop or a soldier, its owner can be traced.
The Prek Leap police chief cannot be reached on Sunday. This type of aggression – including kidnapping and rape of young women working in restaurants – are quite frequent in the city. However, the criminals are rarely arrested or brought to face justice. The police do not even keep track of the number of this type of violence.

Khmer legacy after the Angkor era: Bashing and praise on each other, but kowtow to the aggressors like Thai and Viet. I love my mother land, but (recently) not her people. I have yet known any country like Cambodia where the people lack
patriotism, nationalism, and ignorance of being colonized. What a race!!!
If you were born as Khmer race, you're a beast and savage in nature. This is a culture of violence and ignorance, which makes these people savage and ultimately become wild beasts. Unsurprisingly, after all, what do you expect from a savage and uncivilized society that sits on a time-bomb waiting to explode, despite the exponential economic growth. Soon people will start killing each other once again, inevitably.
Very Very hurt for this pity girl. These evil men will be punished by the God!!! if they do like for your mom or sister, how to you think???? Are you hurt??

Khmer people are becoming more and more like animals. It wasn't like that before.
This is so tragic. No society should treat women like this, nor should a government. This is so sickening. May this girl find some help and eventually some peace.
The authories must question Mr. Hun To about the tragic incident. Also, the girl and her mother must be protected, or Mr. Hun To will send someone to silence them.
Mr. Hun To must be brought to justice for the crime in which he has perpetrated.
Ah Hun To is worse than animal
What do you have to say about the incident, Mr. Hun To. We are certain that you're being protected by your criminal uncle (one-eyed directionless leader).
Ah To must be brought to justice!
