SENSITIVE BUT UNCLASSIFIED
¶1. (SBU) Summary: During the fourth quarter of 2008, Cambodian
police arrested 10 persons on human trafficking charges and two on
prostitution charges in connection with two cases in which seven
rescued prostitutes were under age 18. During the same period, the
Phnom Penh Municipal Court convicted one human trafficker. Police
rescued 28 victims of trafficking and reported that they returned to
their families or were referred to NGO victim shelters. Five NGOs
reported that they provided services to 53 victims of trafficking
during the reporting period. End Summary.
Efforts to Improve Understanding of New Law
-------------------------------------------
¶2. (SBU) In October 2008, Deputy Prime Minister Sar Kheng signed
into effect "Guidelines on the Implementation of the Law on
Suppression of Human Trafficking and Sexual Exploitation" in an
attempt to address concerns about human rights abuses of prostitutes
rescued during brothel raids, HIV/AIDS prevention efforts being
negatively affected by enforcement efforts using the new law, and
police arresting perpetrators on charges that appeared
inappropriately matched to the crime. The guidelines are generally
considered to be helpful in emphasizing that prostitutes should not
be treated as criminals. [Comment: However, the guidelines did not
clarify the difference between trafficking victims and prostitutes,
nor provide guidance on screening of prostitutes or others rescued
during brothels for indications that human trafficking took place.
End comment.]
¶3. (SBU) In December 2008, the Ministry of Justice (MOJ) and
Ministry of Interior (MOI) collaborated to conduct a joint two-day
training workshop on Guidelines on the Implementation of the Law on
Suppression of Human Trafficking and Sexual Exploitation. The
training was funded and partly organized by the United Nations
Inter-Agency Project on Human Trafficking in the Greater Mekong
Sub-region (UNIAP) and the International Justice Mission (IJM).
Attendance included: six police officers from national-level
Department of Anti-Human Trafficking and Juvenile Protection, 24
police officers from provincial Anti-Human Trafficking and Juvenile
Protection offices, 21 provincial prosecutors, five staff people
from various NGOs working on trafficking issues, and representatives
from UNICEF and The Asia Foundation (TAF). In addition to sessions
explaining human trafficking articles and sexual exploitation
articles of the law, the Director of the police Anti-Human
Trafficking and Juvenile Protection Department provided a session on
the U.S. recommendations for action handed to RGC officials in
October 2008.
Amcit Arrest
-------------
¶4. (SBU) On October 26, police from the national Anti-Human
Trafficking and Juvenile Protection Unit worked in cooperation with
Action pour les Enfants (APLE) to secure the arrest of Michael James
Dodd, a 60-year-old American male, at his rental house on the felony
charge of purchase of child prostitution, and rescued two
14-year-old female victims. The perpetrator financially supported a
family of one of the two female victims and was allowed by the
family to have private time with the victim. The perpetrator
committed sexual acts with another female victim in exchange for
money twice on different occasions. Police reported that the
perpetrator is now in pre-trial detention and the victims were sent
to World Hope International for victim assistance.

victim's family. Police reported that the perpetrator fled the
scene, avoiding arrest, and that the victim returned to her family
after the rescue. Police reported that they continue to search for

prison sentence of American national Thomas Wayne Rapanos who was
convicted by the Phnom Penh Municipal Court in August 2008 of
indecent acts against two underage victims from two years and six
months to one year under the same article. With evidence that money
exchanged hands to facilitate the sexual abuse by the perpetrator,
the court could have charged the perpetrator with the felony crime
of child prostitution which carries a heavier jail sentence. There
was no grievance letter filed to Supreme Court regarding the Appeals
Court sentence.
¶21. (SBU) On December 11, Phnom Penh Municipal Court convicted
27-year-old Soeung Channa, male, under new Anti-TIP and Sexual

for Cross-border Transfer" and sentenced Ly Than to eight years in
prison. The court reported that the perpetrator was arrested in
December 2007. [Note: Article 3 is a definition article of the
law, not an article that proscribes a punishment for a particular
crime. End note.]

¶29. (SBU) The NGO Cambodian Human Rights and Development
Association (ADHOC) reported that on October 9 Thai local police
from an unknown department or unit handed over to Koh Kong
provincial police a 23-year-old man named Ho Reth who was trafficked
by a 29-year-old perpetrator named Len. The victim was persuaded to
work in Thailand as a fisherman for a salary of 4,000 Thai Bath (USD
114) per month. The victim paid the perpetrator 2,000 Thai Bath
(USD 57) to secure the job. The victim worked for one year without
payment and decided to return home, but was arrested by Thai local
police, likely on illegal immigration or entry charges, along the
way. Thai local police detained the victim for 10 days. ADHOC

perpetrator and only wanted the money to return home. ADHOC helped
the victim return home.
¶30. (SBU) ADHOC reported that on November 11 local Thai police from

Bath (USD 142). The victim paid the perpetrator 2,000 Thai Bath

Bath (USD 457) after working for eight months. The victim's boss
complained to Thai local police that the victim was in the country
illegally when the victim demanded more payment; the victim was
arrested and detained for 10 days in Klang Yai, Thailand. ADHOC
reported that the victim decided not to file complaint against the
perpetrator and only asked for money to return home. ADHOC helped
the victim return home.
¶31. (SBU) During the fourth quarter, Cambodian Women's Crisis
Center (CWCC) reported that the center received two 25-year-old
female victims of transnational human trafficking cases from Taiwan
and Malaysia. The center helped bring the two victims back after
receiving the complaints from the victims' families.
¶32. (SBU) During the fourth quarter, Cambodian Defenders Project
(CDP) received three new cases of sex trafficking involving eight

lawyers for the victims.
