PHNOM PENH - A Cambodian court on Thursday sentenced a Japanese man to six years in prison for taking nude photographs of boys in the kingdom's popular seaside town of Sihanoukville, court officials said.

A prosecutor told AFP that the town's court found Shunichi Nakagawa, 33, guilty of taking pornographic pictures of seven boys aged under 14.

"The court today sentenced the man to six years in jail on the charge of producing child pornographic pictures," prosecutor Bou Bunhang said by telephone.

Police arrested Nakagawa in August last year for allegedly paying the seven boys less than eight dollars each to pose nude while he snapped photos.

Cambodia has struggled to shed its reputation as a haven for paedophiles, putting dozens of foreigners in jail for child sex crimes or deporting them to face trial in their home countries since 2003.
