Sep 2002Shocking and heart-rending secret footage takes us into the heart of Cambodia's child sex trade. We see girls as young as ten offered for sex, and uncover a web of corruption that shows little remorse.Chanting 'yum yum', the slang for oral sex, girls clamour for attention in a back streets brothel. They are ten years old. "Cambodian men believe that having sex with virgins boosts their sexual appetite, their strength, their integrity," explains Mu Sochua, Minister for Women's Affairs. Sunremita was tricked by her mother into prostitution to make money for her sick relatives. But the proliferation of child prostitutes is down to more than just poverty -- rife corruption also compounds the problem. In Svey Pak, police storm a brothel. A few girls are collected, but pimps and owners are left in peace. "For every single hour that [the brothels] operate the police are paid to let them," states Sochua. Even when paedophiles are arrested, it seems easy to escape justice. Photos of padlocks locked around the genitals of a 13-year old boy clearly show sexual abuse. But the French national accused walked away from court free, despite photos and the testimony of ten boys. Pol Pot tried deliberately to destroy the family; greed and corruption will hopefully not finish the job.Produced by ABC AustraliaDistributed by Journeyman Pictures

I am Khmer and my mom always told me her greatest fear was seeing her daughters become prostitutes. I thought it was stupid at first, I could be doing worst things (like killing people or being a junkie). But I then realize that in Cambodia and Thailand, a lot of girls are sold or kidnapped into the sex trade. It's a great fear to many Cambodians. It's unbelievably sad! Some policemen and political figures are know to OWN brothels.

Islamics in America encourage sex with men at the age of two - anal -- it preserves the 'virginity' and makes the girls more easily to be traded off for money as 'marriage' in islam doesn't exist.The largest Islamic Nation in the world is ASIAN - - Indonesia - - Please stop Islam in America - - stop American legal abortion on demand and partial birth abortion - - Abortion is murdering America
