There is something fishy about this story...a Mexican does not need to fly halfway around the world to abuse minor children...plenty of opportunity exists in Ole Mexico...

This article got the age wrong. A 15 year old would not be a minor --- the age of consent in Cambodia is 15 years.

Based on article in Cambodia Daily, she was under the age of 15 (https://www.cambodiadaily.com/news/police-arrest-mexican-for-rape-of-minor-in-sville-85640/). Exact age not specified, could have been anything below 15 years to qualify under Cambodian law as rape of a minor.

Could once again be a scam. Girl gets raped ,tells her folks , they find out who the nearest person is with some cash and blame him. Too many finger pointing folk about. Maybe this Mexicon is guilty but not enough info here.

I thought it is 16 (wiki says so at least) but it is definitely not 18, as most of the HANG'EM HIGHER - Crowd here would like it to be.
