The decision to pardon three pedophiles in December “undermined the credibility of Cambodian efforts to combat child sex tourism”, according to the US State Department’s 2012 Trafficking in Persons Report, released yesterday.

Russian national Alexander Trofimov, also known as Stanislav Molodyakov, German national Alexander Watrin and Dutch national Rene Paul Martin Aubel were granted royal pardons from pedophilia convictions by King Norodom Sihamoni.

Collectively, they had been convicted of committing sex crimes against 27 boys and girls.


“Three convicted foreign pedophiles – one of whom is also a sex-trafficking offender and one of whom was convicted in the largest child sex offender case in Cambodian history [Trofimov] – were pardoned and released early from prison,” the report states.

Ministry of Interior and Department of Anti-Human Trafficking and Juvenile Protection officials could not be reached yesterday.

It is very strength for the action of the king to pardon the convicted pedophiles, but doing nothing the 15 people from Borei Keila recently arrested and put in present just to defense their which have been robbed by the rich.

The kinghood since the Norodom clan ascending to the crown has since plaque the Khmer kingdom of lost land and endless atrocities. The country should abolish these useless loyalty termites and declare Cambodia as a republic state. Down the CPP! Rise up Khmer before it's too late, OR is it?!?!

Take it easy buddy, you look too much into the past you'll create guilt. You look too much into the future you'll create fear. For now you have passed most obstacles otherwise you wouldn't be here, we can do it again.
