After two years on the run, the convicted trafficker who abused two Cambodian girls in Malaysia was arrested by the Anti-Human Trafficking Police in Cambodia.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ny* was 12 and Lalin* was 16 years when they were trafficked to work in Malaysia in 2017. The promise of a well-paid job had been a lie, and they were not paid. The girls were forced to work long hours with little sleep or food. Additionally, the main broker sexually assaulted Ny*.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

IJM collaborated with the Malaysian authorities and a local NGO partner when the rescue of the victims was conducted in 2019. Jacob Sims, Field Office Director for IJM Cambodia said:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Our staff worked relentlessly to provide legal representation for both survivors and ensured they had received aftercare support to cope with the trauma.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

The first arrest operation in 2019 failed because the information was leaked to the perpetrator. The main broker escaped, and there was no sight of him until 2021.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In January 2022, IJM received a tip-off and quickly requested the police to conduct the arrest. Over a holiday break in February 2022, the Anti-Human Trafficking Police from Kampong Thom Province responded rapidly and successfully arrested the trafficker in another province. An IJM Cambodia staff shares:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It was a tense affair as he tried to escape when he spotted the police, but we thank God for their quick action to arrest him before he jumped off the stairs.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

The Anti-Human Trafficking Police in Cambodia planning for the arrest operation.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

The accused, who was the primary recruiter and abuser, was already sentenced in March 2020 to serve 17 years in prison. The three other accomplices were convicted for six years; however, two had successfully appealed the decision resulting in reduced sentences.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

IJM applauds the proactive and coordinated response of the Cambodian police and their commitment to dealing with trafficking and forced labour issues across the borders.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

IJM staff and partners are celebrating that the main perpetrator who caused them untold suffering has now been brought to justice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Now that the main perpetrator has been brought to justice, the girls are safe and can begin rebuilding their lives with hope.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
