Cambodia deports seven ‘pool party’ revellers
Seven of the 10 tourists charged with ‘producing pornography’ following an organised pool party in Siem Reap last month have been deported.
The seven – from the UK, New Zealand and Canada – were ordered to leave Cambodia as part of their bail conditions and not to return, although the charges against them have not been dropped, according to the BBC.
Three others, including one from the UK, have been accused of organising the party and will face trial. If convicted, they could be jailed for a year.
All 10 deny the allegations. They were among about 90 travellers attending an organised ‘Let’s Get Wet’ event in a private villa.
The ‘Let’s Get Wet’ parties are described as ‘Asia’s biggest pool crawl’ which includes ‘a whole day of partying in a Villa Mansion’ with a BBQ and DJ.
The event was raided by police who accused them of ‘dancing pornographically’.
