Alexander Trofimov |
PHNOM PENH, Cambodia (AP) — A prison official says a Russian businessman convicted of sexually abusing more than a dozen girls in Cambodia has walked free after being granted a royal pardon.
Preah Sihanouk Prison director Pich Veasna says 45-year-old Alexander Trofimov was one of 360 prisoners granted amnesty by Cambodian King Norodom Sihamoni. Trofimov had been convicted of buying sex from 17 girls between the ages of six and 13.
Before his arrest in October 2007 Trofimov was chairman of a Russian-led investment group developing a Cambodian tourist island.
Trofimov was originally sentenced to 17 years in jail but his term was slashed to seven years in August 2010.
Trofimov was one the higher profile cases in recent years in Cambodia's efforts to crackdown on pedophiles.

AH Sihamoni is sending a clear message to all sexual predators around the world that Cambodia welcomes them and condone their sexual perversion!
Because Hun Sen's father have sex with under age girls too. The king likes to promote under age sex in his kingdom of wonder. Good on the king.
why? because he bribed his way out.

to avoid this sort of things happening again
King crap of Khmer Kingdom!!! Cambodia and its people are foreigners' latrine and toilet papers. Where is SRP's MP Son chhay? Khmer needs your input on the matter. Time to shine by blasting the fruitcake and useless pathetic king of nobody!!!
Look beyond the problem. Why this problem occurs?
The puppet government's defiance of the 1991 Paris Peace Accord and its adoption of the bilateral treaties with Vietnam encouraged Thailand to do something that is conformed to those bilateral treaties, using a new drawing map.
To resolve this problem, the puppet government must abrogate those bilateral treaties, then adopt and implement the 1991 Paris Accord.
Hun Shit must free himself from Yuon's slave. He is old now. He should die as Khmer hero, not as Yuon's slave and the biggest traitor in Khmer history beside Sdach Lob Sihanouk.
Cam these Cambodians write some rational comments?
First, Cambodia is a state of mafia that ruled by uneducated thugs like Hun Sen who is so corrupted.
Second, mafia has all power and thus this King is just a puppet, and the word "PUPPET" meas "do as he is told" or otherwise.
Third, Cambodia today is full of crimes. Family members killed one another for $$$$ only. a Khmer son just killed his own Khmer mother by cutting her throat like animal. This Russian guy has million of US dollars, and so Hun Sen and his organize crimes said "Get the money and let him out. Tell Sihamoni to sign and be sure let him know the bullets are our order if he refused".
Some big mouth around here won't be able to cough if you were Sihamoni.
A son who cut his mother's throat was rich but he was jealous of his mother helping other her poor children. He murdered his mother by cut her throat in front of his 4 years old son.
The funeral went on then the young 5 years said to his uncle while his uncle cut the chicken throat "Uncle cut chicken throat like my dad cut Mak Yeay throat."
Cambodia becomes an evil nation and many of her people are so evils including these daily cursers. No wonder Khmers have continued the sufferings like Viet Congs.

King Sihamoni, are you following your father's footstep of destroying Cambodia? You are overseas educated person and you should not done this. How much have you got bribe out off this?
Norodom Sihamoni is a King of Cambodia representing a monarchical institution with years of history in our modern-time Cambodia, the institution whose existence is called into question many times as the King appears to be an automatic apparatus without its own funtioning brain and will to think for Himself and interests of His people and the country whom He continues to profess to love and serve.
Granting a Royal Pardon to such a criminal that took advantage of the very small, poor, weak and vulnerable girls of Cambodia indicates clearly how far the King is willing to go to maintain His palace in a land whose justice can be bought with money and power.
There are many political prisoners in Cambodian jails whose crimes are nothing more than their speech and actions to defend democracy, social justice, independent courts and desire to protect Cambodia's territorial integrity and independence and yet they remain in jails unjustly and suffer because they dare to do a job that a King would not even dare to think about for ONE minute.
This kind of a Royal Pardon is a nasty and disgraceful slap in the face of the greatest King Jayavarman VII who built the great Kindom of Cambodia between 1181 and 1218. King Jayavarman would move furiously and unsettledly in his grave with such an ignominious decision.
Like it or not, His Majesty, the King of Cambodia has become a willing lending hand to the government of PM Hun Sen to fulfill its desire of accomplishing its hidden agenda with this Russian businessman and at the same time obviously weakening His own monarchical institution itself. One arrow from PM Hun Sen'bow does kill 2 birds at the same time.
His Majesty does indeed help, by His lack of courage and wisdom, to weaken and eventually kill His own reign, role and relevance in modern-day Cambodia by refusing to be on the side of the weak, young and poor Cambodian girls. It certainly sends a strongly wrong message to everyone.
The existence of the Royal Institution in a poor country of Cambodia where so much money has been used to maintain it should be called into question when it cannot even defend the obviously and easily defensible case by refusing to let this Russian criminal walk free.
What else can one say, but "Shame, shame and shame!"
You can certainly bet that, if allowed to vote freely, to abolish such a useless institution, my vote will and always shall be a "YES"!
Why would one want to bother to keep it, the Royal Institution has steadfastly died from within itself anyway.
Pissed off
Only one solution right now is having more sex to produce more babies in compete with Vietcog population in Cambodia.
More sexual intercourse to save our nation.
The Khmer King is promoting under age sex in his kingdom of wonder.
To attrack more tourists to come to his kingdom of wonder in compete with Thai prostitutes markets. Under age sex in Kingdom of wonder.
he has billions you stupid poor heads!
The king and Hun Sen must have sex with that predator last night. What is a joke? Hun Sen is good to jail the opposition or kill his opponent, but let the sex predator go free. Hun Sen must get a lot of money from this Russian predator.
Cambodia doesn't need king and hun sen. Get rid of all the royal family tree, cambodia doesn't need to waste anymore money on them. Cambodia can still be as corrupted as now even without the king, former king, king son, king grandson, etc..
Ah Chkae Hun Sen and ah Chkae Sihanomni had sex with underage girls that why they allowed this predator to go otu and have more sex with underage girl. Ah Chkae

Now I get one Cambodian can make rational comments. I don't disagree with your comment. King Sihamoni may be a sweet and kind person, but what he does is very wrong, though he is a puppet, he should use a commonsense.
But who are we to claim that we know what behind this closed door?

That is what I heard from Vietnamese and Thais that Cambodia does not need Monarchy, Hun Sen, or any Khmer, Cambodia needs to be emptied and let Thais and Vietnamese take care the rest.
10:22 AM. Stop speaking to Siem and the Vietnamese and go speak to the real Khmer. or better if you go live with the real khmer. victims of force home eviction, not luxury lifestyle with CPP.
Only AH CHkae Hun Sen and Ah CHkae Sihamonic is allowing the Vietnamese
to live illegally and to steal our resources and land.
