A Michigan man was sentenced Thursday to 13 years in prison on charges of sexually abusing a 13-year-old girl, a Cambodian court official said.

Jason Todd Bambauch, 40, also was ordered to pay 20 million riel ($5,000) as compensation to the girl's family, Judge Chan Madina said.

Bambauch, a designer whose hometown was not immediately known, was arrested last September. Police charged he had sexual relations with the girl for more than a year, paying her $100 a month for her school fees as well as other money.

Bambauch's lawyer, Chap Keo, said his client never had sex with the girl and that her parents promised that he could marry her when she turned 18. The lawyer said Bambauch would appeal the verdict.

6. He did.

13 years in prison in Cambodia.


He'll be dead in a few years of abuse, disease or contraband drugs. If he somehow makes it, I doubt he'll be capable of giving anybody trouble again.

9. Can no sex involved be proven? Such short responses here.

Medically?

I just wonder. It's easy to be doubtful, but is this a case of it's okay to exploit children as long as you don't give them enough to be educated, but if you educate them you'll be exploited as a molester even if you've done no molestation.

I notice the DU responses here seem to be knee-jerk.
