Canadian sex tourist is jailed for Cambodia abuse

Kenneth Klassen, a 59-year-old father of three and an art dealer in the western city of Vanouver, pleaded guilty to charges related to having sex with underage girls, and of one count of importing his own DVDs of the acts.

Klassen had argued in court that Canadian laws against sex tourism did not apply to him, because the acts had taken place in other countries.

Justice Austin Cullen of the British Columbia Supreme Court dismissed the argument and in sentencing called Klassen's behavior “intensive, intrusive and degrading,” local media reported.
