-Battambang Province
-Police and the Battambang Provincial Court prosecutor converged on the residence of an Australian man on the morning of the 12th of August, 2013, looking for corroborative evidence after they had received a complaint from a woman claiming that the Australian had sodomized her (រំលោភតាមរន្ធគូទ) against her will until she passed out.
-The (alleged) incident occurred on the evening of the 11th of August, 2013, at the house of the Australian, located in Group 7, Somraong Takok Village, Somraong Knong Commune, Phnom Ek District, Battambang Province.
-Chet Vunny, ‘Battambang provincial deputy police chief in charge policing justice’ (my take on translating: ស្នងការងទទួលបន្ទុកនគរបាលយុត្តិធម៌ប៉ូលិសខេត្តបាត់ដំបង) identified the accused as 61 years old ‘Rucioch Robert Peter, and his victim as a 27 year old masseuse.
-He stated that on the evening of the 11th of August, 2013, the female victim had filed a complaint with police stating that the Australian had forced her into performing sex with him at his house until she had blacked out.
-The deputy police chief stated that, according to the statement of the victim, the Australian had arrived at Massage 99 where she worked and stated he needed a girl to take to a hotel room for a massage. The victim then got on behind the accused on his motorbike and rode with him all the way to his house in Somraong Takok Village.
-The victim stated that when they entered the house it appeared empty. Once the Australian had gotten the victim to shower, he had forced the victim to submit to him and raped her until she passed out. When the victim came to she found the Australian absent in the bathroom. She then bolted from the house with just a towel around her, screaming for help.
-A neighbor of the accused stated that on the afternoon of the 11th of August, he had seen the Australian ride up to his house on his motorbike with a female riding pillion before disappearing inside. Later that evening he had seen the female fleeing from the Australian’s house with a towel wrapped around her waist screaming out that the Australian had sodomized (រំលោភរន្ធគូទ) her into unconsciousness.
-The deputy police chief stated that police had enough evidence to charge the accused on the strength of the victim’s complaint, the video evidence of the mobile phone (the Australian had recorded the rape according to KOH) and the trauma evidence of the victim. Nevertheless, to clinch the matter, they had taken the accused and conducted a thorough search of his residence on the morning of the 12th of August, 2013, to ferret out additional evidence before handing him over to Office 2 (ការិយាល័យទី២) for processing.
