PHNOM PENH, Cambodia — A prosecutor says a 75-year-old American man has been charged with sexually abusing four Cambodian boys.

Prosecutor Nuon San says the man has been charged after allegedly molesting boys aged between 9 and 13-years old. He faces up to three years in prison if convicted.

Police say Jack Louis Sporich was arrested Monday in Siem Reap, a major tourist destination 143 miles (230 kilometers) northwest of Phnom Penh.

Police say Sporich, who said he was from Chicago, Illinois, has denied the allegations.

Cambodia has long been a magnet for foreign pedophiles because of its poverty and lax law enforcement, but action against sex offenders has been stepped up in recent years.

Wow, 3 only years prison term! And as for a viet thug 11:01PM, we know you're a true Xmer. Get a job; you waste people time here by posting tasteless comment. I hear your mother's calling you to help out feeding chicken, so hurry up and go, and make yourself useful.

agreed with the statement that said: you can't do this in your own country, what makes you think that you can do just that in cambodia?
