PHNOM PENH - A FRENCHMAN has been arrested for allegedly soliciting sex with a child prostitute, Cambodian police said on Monday.
Police said they found Olivier Madrieres, 48, at a guesthouse on Saturday in the Cambodian capital Phnom Penh.
'He was arrested while he was having sex with a prostitute,' said Keo Thea, chief of the municipal anti-trafficking and juvenile police unit.
Madrieres, who arrived in Cambodia last month as a tourist, was being held on charges of soliciting sex from the 15-year-old girl and faces up to five years in jail if convicted, Mr Keo Thea said.
Cambodia has struggled to shed its reputation as a haven for paedophiles, putting dozens of foreigners in jail for child sex crimes or deporting them to face trial in their home countries since 2003.

ReplyDeleteIsn't the Brotle's false that it employs 15 years old prostitute(s)?
ReplyDeleteIf someone brought a girl to him and said she is 19, how could he know? Could be a setup to make money and send him to jail.
