He said the victim was unable to talk when asked what happened but then asked two female friends to accompany her to hospital for treatment.

Police questioned witnesses at the hospital and the alleged attacker was arrested at the hostel yesterday afternoon.

Very disturbing ... alcohol .. drugs .. backpackers party ... recipe for disaster

I,m not condoning the alleged incident, but the police arrested the British man. If it had been a local Cambodian he would still be free. As in the recent murders of western men, the police did nothing as the murderers were local Cambodians.

If it had been a local Cambodian he would still be free.

And how do you know that? Just a couple weeks ago an Irishman was attacked in PP and the Cambodian perp was arrested immediately.

The murder was in Shianoukville, a different set of cops there.

Here's the rub though.

A British person doesn't always mean a cocasian person

Just because you hold a British passport doesn't mean you are of quality character.

<deleted>!? How lame can you be? So only Caucasians (note the correct spelling) are quality people? What a jerk, who also can't spell or punctuate properly.

And if you are a "cocasian" , you are of quality character??

What a load of bs.

Associating quality of character with race, now that's classy--"cocasian" level classy!

Just because you're white doesn't mean you are a "quality character.", and here's the rub, just because you're Caucasian, doesn't mean you can spell.

What is quality character?

Are you saying white British people are only quality?

Does the lift go to the top floor ?

Come on OP quite a dramatic piece you wrote. Now follow up with facts.

CCTV show that the couple had consensual sex on a riverbank, whilst walking back to the hostel, the CCTV showed the girl fell and injured her wrist. It was two busy bodies who reported the "rape" to the police, the subject tried to get the allegation withdrawn, but police refused. The alleged rapists boss produced CCTV FOOTAGE TO SHOW THE FACTS.

So you are saying that in Cambodia is same same as in Thailand ...

[Skeptic7]

they should lock him up and throw away the key he is obviously a danger to women whether drunk or sober there is no defence for this kind of behaviour .

Rush to judgment much??? In spite of that, you are at least partially correct. There is no defense for this kind of behavior...HER behavior.
