American man gets 10 years in Cambodia prison for purchasing child prostitution
Online Edition
A Cambodian court on Tuesday sentenced a 53-year-old American man convicted of purchasing child prostitution to 10 years in prison.
Brian Naswall, former chief executive officer of Phnom Penh-based aviation firm Aero Cambodia, was "found guilty of purchasing child prostitution," said a verdict pronounced by Phnom Penh Municipal Court Judge Khy Chhay.
The verdict also ordered Naswall to pay about US$2,000 in compensation to each of eight victims.
Naswall was arrested on May 22 last year on Koh Pich island in Phnom Penh for allegedly having a 13-year-old girl touch his genitals in front of her two friends. Another six underage girls have also joined the case to testify against him.
Cambodia launched an anti-pedophilia 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.
