Cambodian court sentences Michigan man to 13 years on charges of sexually abusing girl

A Michigan man was sentenced Thursday to 13 years in prison on charges of sexually abusing a 13-year-old girl, a Cambodian court official said.

PHNOM PENH, Cambodia — A Michigan man was sentenced Thursday to 13 years in prison on charges of sexually abusing a 13-year-old girl, a Cambodian court official said.

Jason Todd Bambauch, 40, also was ordered to pay 20 million riel ($5,000) as compensation to the girl's family, Judge Chan Madina said.

Bambauch, a designer whose hometown was not immediately known, was arrested last September. Police charged he had sexual relations with the girl for more than a year, paying her $100 a month for her school fees as well as other money.

Bambauch's lawyer, Chap Keo, said his client never had sex with the girl and that her parents promised that he could marry her when she turned 18. The lawyer said Bambauch would appeal the verdict.

Lax law enforcement and poverty have made Cambodia a prime destination for foreigners seeking sex with minors. But police recently have stepped up efforts to fight the crime, and several foreigners are serving lengthy prison terms.

Hmm ... 20,000 usd is not a fair price for a little shack in the slum, but 5,000 usd is a fair price for raping children.

Sounds like it paid to vote for Ah Scam Rainxy.

I finally discover why 1:05 and 1:09 always blame and write Ah Scam Rainsy: it is he is confused about the guy in the power: he thinks that Hun Sen is Sam Rainsy: no no dear 1:05 the prime minister name is Hun Sen and not Scam Rainsy. Stop fucking your dog ass and your brain will work better! Believe me!

He used to hang around in a bar called the Pickled Parrot on Street 104. Expats say that they thought this dude was a fruit cos he was NEVER seen taking hos. His best buddy was a reporter from the Phnom Penh Post called Tracey Shelton. Those guys from the Pocket Guide (Dean Lennox etc) were also on his Facebook Site as friends.
