Hawaii man accused of sex with Cambodian girl

HONOLULU — A Hawaii man accused of having illicit sex with a 12-year-old girl in Cambodia is being held without bond in Honolulu pending a detention hearing.

Federal prosecutors say Richard David Mitchell of Kamuela, Hawaii, was arrested by police in Cambodia in August 2008. He remained in custody until he was returned to the U.S. on Saturday, when he was arrested at Honolulu International Airport.

U.S. Attorney Edward Kubo said Tuesday that the prosecution of the 61-year-old Mitchell is part of stepped up efforts to identify and prosecute "sex tourists" who travel to Cambodia to engage in sex acts with children.

According to court documents, witnesses reported seeing Mitchell engaging in curbside sex acts with the girl in August of last year.
