62歳のドイツ人男が13歳の少女を買って逮捕される プノンペン カンボジア 2007/04/09

ほとんど同じタイトルの記事を何度見たかわからないほどなので、昔のニュースかと思って日付を確認したら最新のニュースだった。

このブログに載せただけでも「ドイツ人男」「カンボジア　プノンペン」「13歳（12歳）の少女」というニュースが何件あったか。

これは最近増えたというのではなく、ようやく問題にされ多少本気の取締りを受けるようになり、報道されるようになったというだけのこと。

東南アジアで児童、幼女とセックスをしているのは昔も今も（何百年も前から）、圧倒的に白人たちである。

Cambodian Police Arrest German Man on Child Sex Abuse Charge

09 April 2007

Cambodian police say they have arrested a German man on charges of sexually abusing a 13-year-old Cambodian girl.

A police official says the 62-year-old German tourist from Stuttgart, Walter Munz, was detained Sunday in the capital, Phnom Penh. The official says police raided the man's guest room and found him with the girl.

The German was charged with sexual offenses against a minor, a crime that carries a prison term of 10 to 20 years.

Cambodia has long had a reputation as a haven for pedophiles, although police have recently stepped up action against offenders.

カンボジア警察がドイツ人男を児童性的虐待で逮捕

2007年4月9日

カンボジア警察は、ドイツ人男を13歳のカンボジア人少女を性的に虐待した罪で逮捕したと述べました。

警察当局者は、ヴァルター・ムンツというシュトゥットガルト出身の62歳のドイツ人ツーリストが、日曜日、首都プノンペンで拘束されたと述べました。当局者は、警察がその男の宿の部屋を手入れして、男が少女と一緒にいるところを見つけたと述べました。（前には二人の少女といるところを見つけたとか、裸でいるところを見つけたというのもあった）。

そのドイツ人男は、児童に対する性的犯罪行為で訴えられました。この犯罪は10年から20年の懲役になる罪。

カンボジアは長らく幼児性愛者の安住の地・避難所としての声価が高かったが、警察は最近、侵犯者に対する取締を強化しています。

他の報道によると、男はこの少女とその両親に英語を教えてやるといって近づいたらしい。

debaucheryもカンボジア警察の買春担当警部補Keo Theaさんもすっかりおなじみになってしまった。

Phnom Penh - A German man has been arrested for alleged sexual abuse of a 13-year-old Cambodian street girl, an anti-trafficking official said on Monday.

Walter Munz, a 62-year-old tourist from Stuttgart, was detained on Sunday after police raided his guesthouse room in the capital Phnom Penh, said Keo Thea, deputy chief of the municipal anti-trafficking police.

When officers burst into the room, they found the German man in his underwear with the girl, Keo Thea said.

Munz was arrested on charges of debauchery - a statute covering a broad range of sex offences that carry possible jail time of between 10 and 20 years.

"He met with the girl some days ago along the riverside and convinced the girl and her parents that he would help the girl study English," Keo Thea said.

He said Munz had paid the girl's family $20 a week for two weeks, notionally to pay for daily expenses, and had taken the 13-year-old to and from school each day.

The girl told police that Munz forced her to have sex with him many times. She said that she reported the abuse to her mother, who did not believe her.

Keo Thea said Munz, who entered Cambodia in 2006, had also committed sexual abuse against children in his home country.

He will be sent to court to face formal charges on Monday or Tuesday.

Last month, Phnom Penh municipal court sentenced two German men to 28 and 12 years in prison on charges of human trafficking and abusing several Vietnamese girls as young as 10-years-old.

Around two dozen foreigners have been jailed or deported to face trial in their home countries for child sex crimes since 2003.

But officials, including foreign diplomats, have begun urging authorities to target Cambodian sex offenders as well as Westerners.
