Swede jailed for child sex
PHNOM PENH (Cambodia) - A CAMBODIAN court has sentenced a Swedish man to six-and-a-half years in prison for having sex with three underaged boys including his adopted son. Judge Chhay Kong says Johan Brahim Escori, 62, was convicted Tuesday on charges of illegal sexual intercourse with his 9-year-old adopted son and indecent acts with two other boys. He also ordered Escori to pay a four million riel (S$1,336) fine and be expelled from Cambodia after serving his sentence. Lax law enforcement and poverty have made Cambodia a prime destination for foreigners seeking sex with minors. But police working with social activists have stepped up efforts to fight the crime, and several foreigners are serving lengthy prison terms. -- AP
