Danny Pope was in a private room inside the massage parlor in capital Phnom Penh when officers raided the building on Saturday morning.

From Cambodian media:

 

Phnom Penh Municipal Court yesterday charged a suspected American paedophile who allegedly raped five underage Cambodian girls in the capital. Colonel Keo Thea, municipal anti-human trafficking department chief, identified the accused as Pope Danny Lee, 60. He said that Mr Pope was charged with rape with aggravating circumstances and also purchase of child prostitution and faces up to 15 years in jail if convicted. He is now in prison pending trial.

 

. .

“He was a foreigner who committed sexual abuse on our Cambodian underage girls since 2007,” Col Thea said. “He was arrested on Saturday by our municipal anti-human trafficking police after he brought an underage girl from her home in Sen Sok district to rape her at a massage shop in Kakab 2 commune.”

 

Col Thea noted that Mr Pope was arrested at about 3 pm at the Srey Neang 871 Massage Shop in the commune’s Kbal Damrey 2 village. He said that police arrested the accused following a complaint on Friday by the mother of a victim that Mr Pope had taken her daughter to be with him.

Such perverted scum as Mr Pope are just too mentally bent to consider the consequences of their actions beyond today's gratification.

And needless to say, they have no compassion for the children that they molest.

Good to see him put where he belongs.

Of course no Cambodian man have done this, not to mention Thai men. But good that this American was caught.

Someone didn't have enough money to pay his way out. If you plan on breaking the law in Asia you need a stash of "get out of jail" money.

He should be extradited to be given a 90 day sentence at any state prison in the US. General population with lifers only. Be sure his jacket is advertised to the other inmates beforehand. Short eyes are “kill on sight” he wouldn’t make it 90 minutes .

I think that TVF not publishing stories of other nationalities is no indication that they also are not prosecuted. There is actually quite a bit that happens in the world outside of TVF topics

I believe he will also be sentenced to serve time in the U.S. when his sentence is finished in Cambodia (at least that happens to Canadians). And the above poster is right, if I.D. 'd as a child molester in U.S. prison and not segregated he wouldn't last long. Although he has entered the gates of hell the children now have a life sentence, and no matter how much he suffers it won't repair the damage done.

Would he need to go through the court system in the USA, a guilty verdict and sentencing, or does the US judicial system automatically accept the verdict of the Cambodian courts?

From what I am told by well informed legal sources, there is no amount of money that can get you out when the girl is 15 or 16. At 17, you can buy your way out. 

 

Since American laws apply to all citizens overseas, an assistant district attorney will be dispatched, he will collect the suspect, flown back to the US in handcuffs, and he will be tried in federal court in the US, on statutory rape charges. They are hungry for these kinds of prosecutions. They love these cases. Makes the American puritans feel holier than thou. The feds will throw up to $10,000,000 at his conviction. Unless he is very wealthy and can afford a great legal team, he is going to spend at least 10 years in a federal pen and be on every sex offender list for the rest of his life. Even with a great legal team, he will likely be convicted. Without one, his life is basically over. 

 

What is the moral to this story? There is never an excuse for getting busy with any woman under 18. Even that is pushing it. But at least it is legal. Why go there? Why take those kinds of risks, and why do that to a young woman? It is beyond comprehension.

The guy is a paedophile who has operated in Cambodia abusing young girls since 2007 (according to reports).  Cambodia has always been an easy choice for these sort of people and it will be a long time before there is any significant change.  The NGO's have been thick on the ground for years and there have been many high profile cases but still it goes on.  But just like in Thailand, some of the locals also indulge making it less likely of people blowing the whistle, preferring to sweep it under the carpet.  

 

This man's life is now effectively over.  If you follow the Daily Mail link you can see the film of him being arrested, along with other clips of other arrests from other countries.

Not much of that is true at all.  In almost all cases, unless part of the crime occurred in the US, US criminal statutes do not apply at all to US citizens who commit crimes abroad (such as murder, bank robbery, whatever); however, the Protect Act (you can google it) was a special federal law passed which made it a federal crime for a US citizens to have "illicit sex" ( being defined as commercial sex with or sexual abuse of anyone under 18 years of age...or any sex with anybody under 16 years of age).  The charge will be a violation of the Protect Act and the notion that the feds need to pay 10 million dollars to prosecute one of those cases is ludicrous.  While 95% of those charges end up with the defendant pleading guilty, the feds have been known to fly witnesses (sometimes the kids and a parent/guardian) in to testify at trial (but even in those cases you're only talking about several thousand dollars versus millions).

It depends on the age of the partner of course. Nineteen year old with a sixteen year old partner is not so shocking.

But there isn't even a mutual attraction involved here. It's just P4P. He is just disgusting.

Since 2007 they state. Perhaps the mother went to an NGO, who has contacts with a US agency. All speculation of course.

But as stated earlier, no reason for him to contributing to the corruption of children. It's bad enough encouraging people who feel they need money to sell themselves, but to do it to children is beyond the pale. So stopped he should be.

One particular religion's #1 Prophet is a pedophile and took a child bride. Hint: it rhymes with shmuslim. 

[biggles45]

"How do some religons get away with child brides , their as bad as this creature.?."

 

A good question, in some countries they even give them government benefits, accommodation to live with their young "wives"  etc and police/authorities just turn a blind eye to the disgusting behavior which this man will get a long jail sentence for...and thoroughly deserved of course.

Absolutely incorrect. It happens all the time. And when the feds prosecute an American man for statutory rape crimes committed overseas, they spend a fortune on the prosecution. It is like a hobby for them. 

 

The extraterritorial sexual exploitation of children is the act of traveling to a foreign country and engaging in sexual activity with a child in that country.  Federal law prohibits an American citizen or resident to travel to a foreign country with intent to engage in any form of sexual conduct with a minor (defined as persons under 18 years of age).  It is also illegal to help organize or assist another person to travel for these purposes.  This crime is a form of human trafficking, also referred to as child sex tourism. Convicted offenders face fines and up to 30 years of imprisonment (For more information, see Citizen's Guide to Federal Law on the Extraterritorial Sexual Exploitation of Children).

 

CEOS attorneys work with the High Technology Investigative Unit (HTIU), the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI), Immigration and Customs Enforcement/Homeland Security Investigations (ICE), United States Attorney’s Offices around the country, as well as foreign governments and law enforcement personnel to investigate and prosecute cases arising under federal statutes prohibiting the extraterritorial sexual exploitation of children.

The future life of the altar boy anal raped by the bishop may greatly disrupt the boy's life, if he lives in USA, OZ , UK or etc.

But the same may not be true here of the young girl subjected to fornication, as her cultural background would be very different.  The girl 'may' have been invited to participate even by her family who desperately need cash.  She may see herself as good worker who loves her parents.

Sex here is much less sinful or evil compared to the West.

This, unfortunately, is very true and a lot more common than we realise. I recently watched a program about 12-year-old girls going with rich Chinese businessmen in Phnom Penh for 2/3 days so they could pay off the family debt. The young girl interviewed did not want to do it but she didn't want to let her family down. The deals were brokered by the money lenders.

Well , with a Facebook page like this I wonder why he was not arrested earlier ?

He is a disgusting POS!  Sadly the US liberals have protected these perverts by giving them protection in prison, keeping them separate from the general population.  As another post said, send him back here to the US, and get the general population deal with him.  I agree!

 

Tell this POS that he is going into the general population with no protective custody, then just watch the fear on his face...

 

I feel so sorry for the victims, these perverts are pure evil!

Because you can do anything you want as long as you can make pay-offs, or unless you act against someones interest or insult them?

 

Because people in the region tend to look and "think" the other way, unless you force them to take notice of you?

 

Because nobody gives a s*** what happens to someone elses family?

 

Because they have no notion of the "body public" and offences against it?
