Phnom Penh Municipal Court yesterday began the trial of an American tourist who allegedly had sex with five minors. Presiding Judge Le Sokha identified the accused as 60-year-old tourist Danny Lee Pope.

 

Judge Sokha said the accused was charged with sexual intercourse with a minor and purchase of child prostitution. If convicted, the accused could be jailed between five to ten years. He noted the accused was arrested by Phnom Penh police’s anti-human trafficking department in Por Senchey district on March 2.

 

Colonel Keo Thea, chief of the anti-human trafficking department, yesterday said the accused was wanted for sexual abuse of minors in 2007, but fled overseas before he was able to be arrested. Col Thea said the accused returned to the Kingdom and was arrested on March 2 at a massage parlour in Kakap II commune.
