Rape is a redundant crime for Westerners in Asia, plenty of girls out there, willing and able.

I agree, it's about exerting power. If you rape in Asia you're a pretty poor specimen of manhood.

Kep is not a city. It's not even a town. It's a seaside village.

As others have said, rape is about domination and power. Also, down there in Kep its unlikely this massage parlour was also a brothel - they're nowhere near as common as in Thailand. Kep is where Khmer families go for a weekend - its not a sex tourist kind of place.

I have been to Kep and they have certainly got one "hairdressers" that fronts as a brothel. Like Thailand you will be hard pushed to find a village that doesn't have prostitution available somewhere.  Not for foreigners but if they ask then it is there.

 

Having said that, it doesn't mean that this young lady was a prostitute.  It could have been that the American thought he was buying more than a massage and when he was refused he tried to rape her and when she fought back he killed her.  Whatever it was I hope the scum gets his just desserts!

Good police work by the Cambodians. Hope this one rots in prison.
