Fourteen Americans are facing charges in the US on allegations of sex crimes in Cambodia, said John Morton, assistant secretary for the Department of Homeland Security, who signed the pact with National Police Chief Neth Savoeun.

Morton, who arrived on Monday, met with NGO leaders in Phnom Penh and was scheduled to meet with immigration and archeology officials and others in Siem Reap on Tuesday.
