A 69-year-old British doctor
has been arrested for paying girls as young as 12 years old for sex in
Cambodia.
Clive Cressy from Hove, East
Sussex, was arrested at a cafe in the capital Phnom Penh last Thursday after a
police investigation. During the arrest, a suitcase packed with children’s
clothes and Barbie dolls was found with him.
Police accused him of paying
for sex with four girls aged 12, 13, 14 and 15. He was also said to have paid
up to £2,300 to have sex with a virgin.
Apart from what was found on
him, after raiding his address, the police are alleged to have found a stash of
lubricants and sex toys.
The report also has it that his
Vietnamese girlfriend Chea Sokthy, 27, was also arrested at his apartment after
being accused of procuring the youngsters.
The pair appeared at the The
Phnom Penh Municipal Court on Tuesday and were both charged and remanded at the
Prey Sar prison to await trial.
Investigations are on on the
matter as the police are saying there might be more children who had been
abused by the duo.
A Cambodian news portal, NKD news,
claimed Cressy had been in Cambodia for a while as a tourist and that he had
been under investigation for some time after the police received complaints
from the mothers of the girls who had allegedly been abused.
