Three Preah Sihanouk province Cambodian girls have been raped by their father, according local Preah Sihanouk police on Thursday.

The father was arrested after a complaint from the victims’ grandmother. Kol Tha, 42, a farmer living in Ou Chamnar village, Oknha Heng commune, Prey Nop district, was sent to Preah Sihanouk Provincial Office.

The first daughter was identified as Sok Sea, 13, the second as Sok Kun, 3, and the third as Sok Pisey, 2. All were said to have been raped by their father. The accused has 6 children, one son and five daughters. Three years ago, the children’s mother died, according to local police. The eldest daughter lives in another village.

One of the three victims said that “My father started to rape us before the Cambodian P’Chum Ben Festival. He raped whether it was day or night. He started with Sok Sea first.”

“My father sent us to live with my grandmother at Phnom Pech pagoda, but my grandmother was very busy with the festival, so she told my father to bring us back home.”

An injury to one of the girl’s genitals apparently piqued the grandmother’s superstitions so she alerted police.
