On Monday 12 January, the Banteay Meanchey provincial tribunal handed a rather severe sentence. The accused, a moto-taxi driver, found an original mean to get paid for his service from a client who did not have money to pay for her fees.
25-year-old Kim Koun received the sentence for sexual harassment following a complaint raised by a 20-year-old woman. According to the Rasmey Kampuchea newspaper, the plaintiff accused Kim Koun of planting a kiss on her while the pair did not even know each other. In front of the judge, the accused man did not hide the facts. However, he explained that in April 2008, the young woman used his service to travel to several places. “I asked her for the fees owed for the transport service, but she told me that she had no money. I decided to give her a kiss in lieu of the fees,” Kim Koun argued. In spite of these details, he was nevertheless handed down an 18-month jail sentence for sexual harassment. The amount of monetary compensation has not been fixed yet.

No!No!No! The story didn't tell it right. It was a lot more than a kiss. She was wearing a mini skirt and he got so horny that he actually tried to touch her pussy.
Rea....ly!
No! No! No!

Gang rape the bitch!!! I don't mean it wholeheartedly, but she deserves.....something!!!
As for the man: you're young,desperate, and naive!!! 18 months for such crime is ridiculous!!! What a barbarian regimes and brainless xmers!!! Hated to be Khmer!!!!
Sexual harrassment is not to be tolorated. You do the crime you pay the time.
Pros & Srei Sakmai Hun Sen...
Who know?
you guys here are so immature. Grow up....
the question is why did the woman hail his service in the forst place knowing she couldn't pay ? She should be guilty stealing/fraud. she shouldget something, too.
what a stupid court
god, srok chkout, rule by the idiot chkout and the prei
killing is not a crime but kissing a guilty woman is a sever crime
If I’m the judge and want the law to work equally for all Cambodian people, in this case I would put both party in jail for 6 months min and 1 year max.
The man goes jail for kissed, and maybe also did some other thing to the woman without her permission. The woman goes to jail for stealing/fraud/shoplifting…or whatever you want to call it.
18 months in jail for KISSING a girl is too excessive.
I supported 10:10pm or The Cambodian judge need to spend some more times in the school because they know nothing.
