Man arrested over rape of teenage ‘girlfriend’
Russei Keo district police on Sunday arrested a 21-year-old man after the family of a 13-year-old girl filed a complaint with police, accusing him of raping the girl on Friday night. The man denied he raped the girl, saying they had loved each other for a month. He said that on Friday the girl called him twice to pick her up from home to elope so they could leave Siem Reap, but they did not have money so the girl slept at his home, where they had sexual intercourse. The girl’s family sued the man for rape after they learned about the incident.
