Child Sex Flourishes in Cambodia Despite Crackdown
Buying sex with a 12-year-old girl in Cambodia takes less time and effort than changing money in a bank or paying a telephone bill. "Many thousands of children are still being abused in Cambodia's sex industry," said Laurence Gray, regional coordinator for development agency World Vision's program for children at risk. World Vision works with some 300 sexually exploited children in Phnom Penh. Nearly 60 percent are malnourished, 46 percent have sexually transmitted diseases and 18 percent have been infected with HIV, the virus that causes AIDS. :: This Reuters report submitted for your wickedness increases (Matthew 24:12) files.
