2 US sisters deported for temple nudity
Print Edition
Two American sisters have been deported from Cambodia after they were convicted of taking naked photos inside the country鈥檚 famed Angkor temple complex, officials said yesterday.
Lindsey Adams, 22, and her 20-year-old sister Leslie were discovered taking nude shots of each other inside the Preah Khan temple at the world heritage site on Friday.
The sisters were both given a suspended six-month prison sentence on Saturday evening on public exposure and making pornography charges and will be banned from re-entering Cambodia for four years, Koeut Sovannareth, prosecutor at northwestern Siem Reap provincial court said.
鈥淭he court decided to expel them from Cambodia,鈥 he said, adding that the women had confessed to making a mistake and were fined US$250.
Sam Reaksmey, a senior tourism police official in Siem Reap, said the sisters were deported late Saturday night.
It is the second time in the last fortnight that tourists visiting the sprawling temple complex have been caught without their clothes.
Three French tourists were deported last weekend after they pleaded guilty to taking nude pictures of each other inside another temple within the ancient complex.
Cambodia says the women鈥檚 actions are offensive because Angkor is sacred ground.
鈥淭hey lowered their pants to their knees and took pictures of their buttocks,鈥 said Keat Bunthan, a senior heritage police official in Siem Reap.
The three deported French men received the same suspended sentence as the American women.
