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
What the hell a middle age single French guy leave France to come to live in cambodia? Of course he paid every one to go free.

The madam and pimp in this video spoke Vietnamese! The same for some of the children. I would venture to say that these Vietnameses operate out of Cambodia due to its lack of police enforcement, and/or plentiful of police cooperations for kickbacks.Which region of Cambodia was this filmed?

i think the discussion on white men is based on the fact that the majority of pedophiles are white, and most child sex cases involve white men (worldwide )but of course it doesnt mean its only white men.i've always wondered thou, the rate of female pedophile cases ???

why do so many people argue about how bad countries are or how great their country is, or when the US falls it will be like this... no country, rich or poor should be like this. Human trafficing is wrong regardless when or where it happens. The leaders of the world need to work together in creating safeguards against this kind of stuff.
