The Phnom Penh Municipal Court yesterday charged a couple with procurement of prostitution for allegedly offering sex services out of their coffeeshop in the capital’s Meanchey district in exchange for a cut of the sex workers’ earnings.

Major Sok Kimsreng, an officer with the Ministry of Interior’s anti-human trafficking police, said suspect Duong Lim, 60, and his wife, Pham Thi Hieng, 38 – both Vietnamese nationals – employed six prostitutes, with at least one as young as 17.

“They allowed girls who worked in their coffeeshop to have sex with their clients in exchange for getting a commission from them,” Kimsreng said. “If found guilty, they will be punished with up to five years’ imprisonment each.”

Earning money through pimping commission is one of the lowest in my opinion that some one can take as profession, what to talk about dignity.

I believe their crime...is being Vietnamese...some folks likely did not appreciate the competition from their foreign neighbors...
