Alleged victim backs out of sex abuse case

A German national accused of molesting five children continued to maintain his innocence in court yesterday, as the family of one of his alleged victims announced they were dropping charges. Udo Sabiniewicz, the 57-year-old head of FX Animation Studios, was arrested on June 16, 2015, following complaints from the parents of five boys, aged 7 to 13, police said at the time.

Two of the alleged victims’ families ultimately never stepped forward to press charges following the arrest. The case was further winnowed down yesterday as Srey Leak, mother of an alleged victim, didn’t show up to court, instead sending court officials a statement claiming that police had instructed her child to incriminate the suspect.

"sending court officials a statement claiming that police had instructed her child to incriminate the suspect."

If true the cops should get the jail time he was going to get! I know nothing about this case but I find it shocking that they would point the finger at cops like that. Seems risky even if true. Hope the truth comes out.

In Cambodia it is impossible to know.

Police frame-ups designed to get money happen. Pay-offs to victims to drop charges, also happen.

Yeah no way to know, but paying a victim to then turn on the cop seems risky.
