70-year-old held for molesting Cambodian boys

I found this story on Child Abuse Victims Daily. This story shows the importance of being aware that pedophilia is something that is world wide. This pedophile Reginald Blakeley sexually abused children in Cambodia. One of the realities of having pedophiles world wide is that it increases the need for sex trafficking. In some Countries having sex with children (aka sexually abusing children) isn't looked on as negatively in other parts of the world. At least with all of the hard work of advocates for the children who are sold as sex slaves that in Cambodia this pedophile may go to jail for 3 years. Not long enough but at least Cambodia is starting to understand that having sex with children is wrong. Right now in the US there is a movement that is helping reduce sex-trafficking at the Superbowl. Apparently the Superbowl plays a large role in human trafficking. I am thankful to the many, many agencies and people who are trying to stop this. There are children who are born into sex trafficking and die as a sex trafficker/. I am learning that the life expectancy isn't high for these children. Very, very sad, :( Rosie

A 70-year-old retired British teacher has been charged with molesting at least five minor boys in Cambodia, a media report said. Reginald Blakeley, who allegedly molested the children as young as seven, was held after investigators secretly filmed him approaching youngsters outside schools, The Sun reported. Eleven boys in Siem Reap city complained to police about the man's behaviour while five said he committed indecent acts on them. Blakeley visited Cambodia five times since 2010. He was also filmed with children at a stall outside two schools near the world-famous Angkor Wat temple. Child protection group Action Pour Les Enfants (APLE) said it monitored him after claims of indecency. APLE official Long Samnang alleged that Blakeley would pretend to be playing with the children and start hugging them. Blakeley is in custody and faces trial at the Siem Reap provincial court. He faces up to three years in jail and a 10,000 pound fine if convicted.
