Cambodia arrests U.S. Army deserter sought for sex crime

Col. Oum Phy, deputy police chief in northeastern Kratie province, says Michael Edward Harris was arrested there Tuesday on a request of the Interior Ministry, though he did not know for what reason.

The English-language Phnom Penh Post reported Wednesday that a U.S. Army spokesman earlier said Harris had been charged in Orlando, Florida, with 44 counts of possessing child pornography, and was also being investigated on allegations of indecent acts on a child and forced sodomy. It said the 34-year-old sergeant entered Cambodia on Jan. 17 after earlier skipping bail in Florida.
