    Indian Jailed For 14 Months In Cambodia

    The Canadian Press, 16 Jun, 2016 12:53 PM
      A Cambodian court on Thursday sentenced an Indian man to 14 months in prison for sexually abusing an underage girl, an anti-pedophile agency said.
       
      Raj Deo, 46, a cloth seller living in the northwestern province of Siem Reap, was convicted of "indecent assault" against a girl aged 14, said a statement from child protection NGO Action Pour Les Enfants (APLE).
       
      The Siem Reap Provincial Court also ordered the Indian to pay $750 in compensation to the victim.
       
      Raj Deo was arrested by Siem Reap Anti-Human Trafficking and Juvenile protection police in December after receiving a complaint from the victim.
       
      Cambodia launched an anti-pedophile operation in 2003 in a bid to end its reputation as a haven for child sex offenders. Since then, dozens of foreigners have been imprisoned for child sex crimes.
