STOP PEDOPHILIA
ENACT UNIVERSAL HEALTH CARE

It is difficult to know how pervasive child sex tourism is in Cambodia, or in any other country, because of the illicit nature of the crime. Undercover investigators working with human rights activists continue to find many brothel owners and traffickers selling minors for sex in Cambodia. There are increasing reports of men traveling there to have sex with underage girls for as much as $4,000, according to the State Department's Trafficking in Persons Report of 2009. The report designated the Southeast Asian country as among those that should receive special scrutiny because it has not made enough progress to eliminate the problem.

Still, Cambodia has made some efforts. Over the past year, after enacting laws with anti-trafficking provisions, the government convicted a dozen offenders and prosecuted nearly 70. U.S. legislation, including the PROTECT Act of 2003, has also helped combat the problem. The legislation bolstered federal laws targeting predatory crimes against children outside the United States by expanding crimes and increasing penalties.

Officials say Twisted Traveler, launched in October, will help with the enforcement of existing laws. Under the initiative, the Federal Bureau of Investigation and ICE jointly trained the Cambodian National Police and local police in Phnom Penh, the nation's capital.

"Some part of what we're trying to do here is change attitudes and change acceptance of child sex tourism as something that's always been around or can't be changed," Carol Rodley, the U.S. ambassador to Cambodia, said in a telephone interview. "And I think that's very much true of the Cambodian police -- that their attitudes about the issue have changed in part because of the collaboration, next we'll got after Dutch drug tourism"

Authorities in both countries relied on information provided by Action Pour Les Enfants, a nonprofit group, and the International Justice Mission, a human rights agency. Their involvement, Rodley said, marked a breakthrough for Cambodia, which historically has had an uneasy relationship with such organizations because of their criticism of the government.

In a statement announcing the latest allegations, officials said Boyajian, of Menlo Park, is accused of having sex with a 10-year-old Vietnamese girl. Peeters, of Norwalk, is accused of engaging in sexual activity with at least three underage Cambodian boys, paying them between $5 and $10. And Sporich, of Sedona, Ariz., is accused of sexually abusing at least one Cambodian boy, and allegedly driving through city streets on his motorbike dropping money as a way to attract children.

If convicted, the men face sentences of up to 30 years for each victim.

Officials said they hope the arrests would dissuade would-be sex tourists. Over the past six years, ICE has arrested more than 70 suspects nationwide on child sex tourism charges.

"The appeal of a place like this is that it's very far away and pedophiles feel like they can come here and be anonymous, and be outside the reach of U.S. law enforcement," Rodley said. "I hope the message that it sends is one of deterrence."
