• Australian teacher Garry Mulroy has been jailed for two years in Cambodia
• He was found guilty of indecent assault but more serious charges were dropped
• Charges that were dropped included accusations Mulroy molested schoolboys 

 

A Cambodian court has found former Australian teacher Garry Mulroy guilty of a lesser charge of indecent assault and sentenced him to two years' imprisonment, but allegations of child prostitution have been dropped.

'He was prepared for the verdict. He is upset but doing okay,' his risk management adviser Ross Milosevic told AAP on Tuesday.

Mulroy had faced up to 15 years' imprisonment on allegations he had molested six boys at a home school he was building. The court in Siem Reap ordered that time served be taken into account.

Sounds like made up charges. Fancy that, innocent, set up a school to help and allegedly get framed instead

No, not made up, he is a very lucky man to get out of this with 2 years, got the lesser charges dropped on a technicality

Not sure where you're going with that, but in any case, samurai swords only have one.  Just sayin.

Anything with APLE involved is probably bogus.
