An Australian nurse at the centre of a surrogacy business yesterday admitted to hiring Cambodian women to carry babies for Australian couples, but denied falsifying Cambodian documents at the closing of her trial at Phnom Penh Municipal Court. Tammy Davis-Charles, 49, has been jailed since her arrest in November 2016, just weeks after the government banned commercial surrogacy following the industry’s spread into the country.

 

Ms Davis-Charles is on trial along with two Cambodians, Penh Rihty, 28, and Samrith Chan Chakriya, 35, who aided her with her booming business. They face surrogacy and document forging charges. At the close of her trial yesterday, Ms Davis-Charles admitted to running the surrogacy business, but denied accusations from police and prosecutors that she facilitated the forgery of birth certificates.

 

Ms Davis-Charles said she came to Cambodia to run the business, called Fertility Solutions PGD, after a similar venture in Thailand failed due to the Thai government outlawing the practice. She said from 2015 up until her arrest, she had hired 23 Cambodian women to carry babies for Australian couples.
