Phnom Penh, Aug 26 (AFP) A Cambodian appeals court today ordered a Russian businessman to serve a reduced prison sentence of eight years for buying sex from 17 under-age girls, including a deaf victim.
Alexander Trofimov was arrested in 2007 after six girls aged between six and 13 accused him of sexual abuse.
Since then, many more young girls have filed complaints against the property developer, making him the focus of Cambodia's largest-ever paedophilia case.
The court found that Trofimov paid up to USD 2,000 a time to have sex with virgins.
He had been convicted in three separate cases and handed a total of 17 years in prison.
But in light of Trofimov's confessions, remorse, and lack of understanding of Cambodian customs and laws, he deserved a reduction of the sentence, said judge Seng Sivutha of the Court of Appeal.

You have corrupted justice system in Russia and why not in Cambodia, you go in for few months to make people forget your case, after you pay and you go back to your Russia, don't worry.
Alexander Trofimov, you are really lucky that you have committed the sexual crime in corruption court country like Cambodia, if you committed this kind of crime in other country out of Cambodia you will never see the sunlight anymore, good luck boy.
Cambodian court please stop making a fool out of yourself. Cambodia still and will be a heaven for pedophiles because of your ignorant corrupt institution. No one will have justice under your in-justice system.
I fucking have a Question where all the mother fuckers those Judge people go to school at?
