Dutchman held with photos of child porn
Print Edition
A 53-year-old Dutchman has been arrested in Cambodia for allegedly taking thousands of sexually explicit photos of teenage boys in exchange for a few dollars, a police official said yesterday.
Evrard Nicolas Sarot, 53, was a detained on Tuesday in Siem Reap province with pictures on his iPad and a digital camera of naked boys aged between 11 and 15, according to police.
“At this early stage, there are 20 boys but the victims could be more than this. This is a big case,” Duong Thavry, chief of the provincial anti-human trafficking police said, adding officers found thousands of photos of naked boys in his possession.
The Dutchman, who has frequently traveled to Cambodia as a tourist since 2011, will appear before court today.
If found guilty “he faces between seven and 15 years in prison for producing child pornography,” she added.
The suspect convinced the boys to follow him to a quiet place and then asked them to perform erotic poses for between US$1 and US$4, according to Action Pour Les Enfants, an NGO that hunts pedophiles.
Cambodia is battling a reputation as a haven for foreign pedophiles, who take advantage of widespread poverty and poor — and often corrupt — law enforcement to abuse children.
Sarot’s arrest marks the third foreigner held over child abuse allegations in Cambodia this year, APLE said in a statement.
Last week, a 47-year-old Cambodian-American was also arrested by Cambodian police for allegedly sexually abusing 11 underaged boys.
