Phnom Penh - The trial of two German nationals charged with the drugging and repeated aggravated rapes of at least five girls, ages 10 to 14, to make pornographic videos for sale internationally began in a Phnom Penh court Thursday.
Karl Heinz Henning, 61, whom police earlier said had a passport issued in Bad Essen, and Thomas Baron von Engelhardt, 42, of Munich were arrested in August and began their trial in Phnom Penh Municipal Court.
Three ethnic Vietnamese - Nguyen Hong Voeng, 20; Cheng Thi Yu, 21; and her sister, Cheng Thit Heu, 45 - are also charged in relation to the case. They are accused of providing the children for sex, some of whom are their own offspring.
The two Germans face sentences of up to 20 years in prison if convicted of debauchery, the Cambodian term for paedophilia-related crimes, and the Vietnamese face 10 to 20 years if convicted of human trafficking and providing children for sex, police said.
Both men were expected to plead not guilty.

give then twenty and more. Sent them back to where they came from so they will go back in shame and stay in prison there to act as example for their fellow paedos!. Else we can also lock them up in Prey Sar indefinitely....
May be Cambodia should change the law for this kind of criminal. Instead of put them in jail costing monoy, just cut their penis and let them go.
