– The article is in quotes from the Phnom Penh Post website –

Police have pulled a 15-year-old girl and her parents in for questioning over allegations the girl is being kept as a virtual sex slave in her family’s home in Banteay Meanchey province, where her parents had chained her legs to a bench to prevent her from escaping, police said yesterday.

The horrific allegations, which are also being investigated by rights group Adhoc, were refuted by the girls parents, who claim their daughter is simply being locked inside the house for her own well-being.

Neighbour Khiev Bory told the Post yesterday he had visited the girl’s family last week and saw that she had been restrained in shackles.

“The girl told me that her parents forced her to work, to be a beggar and to have sex with foreign men since she was 13 years old,” he said, adding that the girl had allegedly been shackled by her parents after her eighth attempt to flee and escape their abuse.
