American man gets 10 years in Cambodia prison for purchasing child prostitution

PHNOM PENH, June 14 (Xinhua) -- A Cambodian court on Tuesday sentenced a 53-year-old American man convicted of purchasing child prostitution to 10 years in prison.

Brian Naswall, former chief executive officer of Phnom Penh-based aviation firm Aero Cambodia, was "found guilty of purchasing child prostitution," said a verdict pronounced by Phnom Penh Municipal Court Judge Khy Chhay.

The verdict also ordered Naswall to pay about 2,000 U.S. dollars in compensation to each of eight victims.

Naswall was arrested on May 22 last year on Koh Pich island in Phnom Penh for allegedly having a 13-year-old girl touch his genitals in front of her two friends. Another six underage girls have also joined the case to testify against him.

That daily bowl of Rice won't support his body mass.

I worked for a German that spent 2 years in the Soviet Gulag as a POW. He said that the big men were the first to go. Short and wiry guys lasted longer. Of the 300 German POWs that first arrived, only a handful survived.

"Asked why he was spending the evening with three street children, Mr. Naswall said he was trying to make them happy.

“I get joy, happiness in helping people,” he said."
