# 143 Would APLE's credibility be destroyed by a fair trial for David Fletcher?


On Tuesday 15th September, APLE published a Press Release “FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE” entitled:

“Note of Clarification from APLE”

This was in response to an article that had appeared in the Cambodia Daily about David Fletcher’s case. Mr Fletcher was sentenced to 10 years in jail, in 2011, in a secret trail, for the rape of 17year old Yang Dany.

“In 2009, APLE started an investigation into Mr Fletcher after he was seen behaving suspiciously towards children. A full investigation was conducted and the report of that investigation was handed over to the Anti-Human Trafficking and Juvenile Protection Police. In 2010, the police decided to interview two girls who had been closely involved with Mr Fletcher. During these interviews, one girl testified that Mr Fletcher had raped her twice.

As a result of the testimony made by the victim and a complaint filed by her mother, APLE offered legal representation to the victim. Mr Fletcher, however, had already left the country and was in Thailand at the time. He was arrested and detained in Thailand, but it would take another three years before he would be extradited to Cambodia. In 2011 Mr Fletcher was tried in absentia in Cambodia. The judge in this case found Mr Fletcher guilty of rape and sentenced him to ten years imprisonment.”

Using a timeline gleaned from court records, reports made by APLE and others, and a newspaper article, I will demonstrate that the assertions made here by APLE are not true. They constitute a deliberate attempt on the part of APLE to mislead journalists and the public about the true role the NGO has played in pursuing Mr Fletcher and seeing him jailed without even the semblance of a fair trial.

June 20th 2010

Journalist Andrew Drummond publishes an article in which Yang Dany refers to David Fletcher as her ‘sweetheart’, her ‘boyfriend’, her ‘fiance’ and as a ‘good man’.

Are these the descriptions one would expect a young woman to use when talking about a man who had, according to later testimony,  ‘brutally raped’ her 15 months earlier – on 15th and 22nd March 2009?

The location at which the alleged rapes took place – Rick’s Bar – did not open until 6 months later!

One week before Mr Fletcher’s arrest, Andrew Drummond had been provided with no evidence at all by APLE or any other investigative body that he had raped Yang Dany or been ‘grooming’ girls – the allegation made by Scott Neeson in Drummond’s article. (Neeson refuses to provide any evidence in support of his defamatory allegation.)

23rd June  2010

APLE  informs the Department of Anti-Human Trafficking and Juvenile Protection that APLE has been “watching” Mr Fletcher since 22nd Jan 2009 on the grounds that the NGO “suspected he may have sexual relationship with minor girls.”

‘Suspected’ is the key word here.

Despite having been ‘watching’ Mr Fletcher for 17 months, APLE had not, four days before Mr Fletcher’s arrest in Thailand, come up with any evidence of inappropriate sexual behavior on Mr Fletcher’s part.

This 17 months of ‘watching’ includes 15th and 22nd March 2009 - the dates when, it is alleged, Mr Fletcher raped Yang Dany.

An extract from this 23rd June APLE Report reads:

“On 30 May 2010, Mr Fletcher had built a relationship with a new girl at Stoeng Meanchey named Yang Dany, aged 17 (according to Residence Book). At that day he took her to visit Prey Veng. According to questioning, Dany told that Mr Fletcher was her sweetheart, and he proposed marriage to her by promising that he would give bride price in the amount of $5,000. On 7th June Mr Fletcher took some items like glasses, plates, wardrobe to Dany’s house and stayed there till over midnight without returning.”

This APLE  report was written 15 months after Mr Fletcher had supposedly raped Yang Dany! Having allegedly been raped twice by Mr Fletcher, but having failed to mention this to APLE during its 17 months of investigation, Yang Dany accompanies him to Prey Veng!

Other than the innuendo inherent in “stayed there till over midnight” there is no suggestion in this APLE report that Mr Fletcher had had either consensual or non-consensual sex with his ‘sweetheart’ Yang Dany.

2 days prior to his arrest in Thailand APLE had, by its own admission ( after a “full investigation”), no evidence of sexual misconduct on Mr Fletcher’s part.  This is clear in the report of that investigation (which) was handed over to the Anti-Human Trafficking and Juvenile Protection Police”

What APLE did have, however, was evidence that Mr Fletcher, preparing to leave Cambodia; was giving away all of his possessions – his wardrobe being given to Yang Dany and her mother. Mr Fletcher was not ‘fleeing to avoid arrest’, as APLE wishes to characterize his leaving Cambodia.

As Mr Fletcher prepares to leave Cambodia, Andrew Drummond’s article is still two weeks away from publication.

25th June 2010

Department of Anti-Human Trafficking and Juvenile Protection files a report of its own - the subject of which is the allegation that David Fletcher was “suspected of having sexual relationships with minors.”  

Given that the Anti-Human Trafficking and Juvenile Protection report was written only two days after it had received APLE’s report I think it fair to assume that its report relied heavily on the APLE report.

The outcomes of the Anti-Human Trafficking two day investigation relevant to the charge of rape are, according to court documents, as follows:

“A girl named Yang Dany described that in May 2010, Fletcher tried to get in touch with her and asked her to go sightseeing with him in Prey Veng province. She revealed that Fletcher was her boyfriend and that he had asked to marry her by offering her a dowry of $5,000. The man bought her glasses, plates and wardrobe.”

There is no reference at all in this Anti-Human Trafficking report, written one day after Mr Fletcher had left for Thailand, that he had raped Yang Dany twice in 2009. There is no suggestion, in the report that David Fletcher and Yang Dany had engaged in either consensual or non-consensual sex. The very worst offence Mr Fletcher could be accused of, on the basis of this Anti-Human Trafficking report, is that he asked her to go to Prey Veng and offered to marry her and pay $5,000 bride price.

APLE’s and ‘Anti-Human Tracking’s’ reports, if they are to be believed, necessitate that 15 months after he had raped her, David Fletcher asking Yang Dany to go to Prey Veng sight-seeing with him – the young woman who had, in Andrew Drummond’s article of a few days earlier, described Fletcher as her ‘fiance’ and as a ‘good man’.

In her many interviews to date with APLE Yang Dany had not mentioned being raped by David Fletcher.

There has been no opportunity, this past five years, for Yang Dany’s rape allegation to be tested in court.

Two days after this report was written, David Fletcher was arrested in Bangkok.

The request made by the Anti-Human Trafficking Unit on 25th June 2010 reads as follows:

“To continue to work with APLE to monitor the activities and locate victims for interviews to collect evidence against the suspect.

To work with the British Embassy and CEOP organization to collect additional related information and background of David John Fletcher.

From these observations, to be found in court documents, all of which I have copies of, certain assumptions can be made:

- APLE, the Anti-Human Trafficking unit, the British Embassy and CEOP had been working together in hopes of finding evidence of ‘dangerous behaviours on Cambodian children’ prior to 25th June 2010.

- APLE, the Anti-Human Trafficking unit, the British Embassy and CEOP had not, as of 25th June 2010 uncovered any evidence at all that Mr Fletcher had raped Dany, had sex with her or had committed “dangerous behaviours on Cambodian children.”

- Two days later, in Bangkok, Thai officials, with the assistance of the British Embassy, arrest David Fletcher.

June 27th, 2010 

David Fletcher is arrested in Bangkok. The British Embassy takes possession of Mr Fletcher’s passport, which it will later destroy – offering 3 different explanations for having done so. (More on this subject in a few days)

24th July 2010

David Fletcher is accused of “sexual carnal knowledge offense committed on some of children in Cambodia”. 

No such evidence had existed 4 weeks previously but now, in the wake of Andrew Drummond’s 20th June 2010 article, there is sufficient evidence to warrant Mr Fletcher’s arrest for raping Yang Dany!

What new evidence had come to light in the previous 4 weeks? Other than Yang Dany’s declaration that she had been raped 15 months earlier by the man she described as her ‘fiance’ and under the noses of 4 different investigating bodies monitoring Fletcher’s activities?

Now, with this chronology in mind, gleaned from court documents, lets look again at APLE’S 15th Sept 2015 Press Release:

“As a result of the testimony made by the victim and a complaint filed by her mother, APLE offered legal representation to the victim. Mr Fletcher, however, had already left the country and was in Thailand at the time. He was arrested and detained in Thailand.”

APLE confirms here that it played a significant role in pursuit of Fletcher. Yang Dany insists that APLE asked her and her mother several times if she had had sex with Mr Fletcher. She told APLE, repeatedly, that the answer was ‘no’ – later borne out by the medical report declaring her to be a virgin still.

At the time of Fletcher’s arrest (27th June), Sekun had not yet told the police that he had raped her daughter, Yang Dany – a young woman who, one week before his arrest, is on record as describing him as a ‘fiancé’,  ‘husband to be’  and ‘good man’!

8th Sept 2010

An 8 page medical report commissioned by the Phnom Penh Municipal Court regarding Yang Dany's intact hymen is given to APLE.

From September 2010 onwards, as APLE fought tooth and nail for 3 years to have David Fletcher extradited from Thailand, Samleang Siela and Thierry Darnaudet knew that Yang Dany remained a virgin after two alleged rapes.

Though the entire trial process, conducted in secret in 2013, APLE was prepared to push the rape line, to insist that rape had occurred, despite compelling medical evidence (including the testimony of the alleged victim and her mother) that no rapes had taken place.

In an open court, with the press present and with David Fletcher present to present a defense, APLE’s case that David Fletcher has raped Yang Dany would have been a very hard one to argue with any credibility.

APLE requested that the case be tried in a closed court.

The secret trial that subsequently took place was, in itself, illegal:

Mr Fletcher’s right to a public hearing was (and remains) enshrined in Article 136 of the Cambodian Code of Criminal Procedure:

Article 316. Public Nature of Trial Hearing and Confidentiality

Trial hearings shall be conducted in public.

However, the court may order a complete or partial in-camera hearing, if it considers that a public hearing will cause a significant danger to the public order or morality.

It is difficult to see how Mr Fletcher’s trial, held in public, could possibly cause a significant danger to the public order or morality! A public trial, at which the media (along with Mr Fletcher) were in attendance would, however, have left APLE with some very awkward questions to answer – some of which are contained here both explicitly and implicitly; awkward questions that would raise serious doubts about the credibility and integrity APLE. A loss of faith in APLE could in turn, adversely affect APLE’s funding.

I am sure that readers will be able to join the dots.

  1. The Khmer Times has, this morning, published an excellent article that is relevant to Mr Fletcher's case. My apologies to the Khmer Times for 'stealing' it to include here.

    Group Finds Judiciary Wracked With Corruption
    Khmer Times/Pav Suy and James Reddick Thursday, 17 September 2015 136 views

    PHNOM PENH (Khmer Times) –The human rights wing of the International Bar Association has found Cambodia’s judiciary is riddled with problems that corrode citizens’ rights to a fair trial, including widespread graft.

    The organization published the results of a series of interviews with lawyers, judges and civil society groups yesterday, finding problems to be widespread. They reported endemic bribery on the part of judges, bailiffs and court clerks, as well as political pressure from members of the government that influences court decisions.

    They also describe serious structural problems, like a shortage of courthouses, low pay for judges and a huge gender gap in the representation of women in the courtroom.

    Exacerbating the problems, they wrote, are the electoral reforms passed last year, which have ingrained a system in which judges are at the mercy of the ruling Cambodian People’s Party (CPP) leaders in the Ministry of Justice for their professional survival.

    “In a nutshell, our concerns boil down really to one thing,” said Mark Wassouf, a Barrister at London’s Doughty Street Chambers. “That’s the potential that’s contained in all of [the laws] for the government to have undue influence over the judiciary.”

    The three laws passed in April last year gave sweeping powers to the Ministry of Justice – and to Minister Ang Vong Vathana – to oversee judges’ appointments and promotions. The minister sits on both the Supreme Council of the Magistracy, which appoints judges, as well as the board responsible for promotions and demotions.

    Gov’t Meddling

    The tangible impact of the laws is hard to calculate, but political analyst Ou Virak says the laws enshrine the government’s existing meddling in the judiciary.

    “Even before the laws were adopted, the government also did the same thing,” he said. "However, the new laws legitimize the government interference in the court system. So the court is not independent form the government.”

    According to the report, most judges appointed by the SCM have connections with the government and are affiliated with the CPP. They cited one example of the son of the President of the Phnom Penh Court of Appeal who was appointed a judge at the court in October last year.

    Perhaps most troubling, the majority of people interviewed by the researchers said it was common for judges to be “instructed” by members of the government. Those who did not comply, sources reported, are often demoted or sent to provincial courts, where the pay is lower than in Phnom Penh.

    The report also cited bribery as a chronic problem, with one group of legal professionals estimating that it was involved in 9 of every 10 court cases in Cambodia.

    This may be as a result of the judges’ low pay. As a result of the reliance on bribery, interviewees said that judges are dismissive of lawyers provided by NGOs because they do not give bribes, creating “an inequality of arms” between them and the prosecution.

    Ministry of Justice spokesman Chin Malin, who downplayed the report, said issues with bribery were not due to low pay but a “failure of ethics.”

    “This report is not different from that of some institutions that always criticize the government,” he said. “It is like the widespread infection from one to the other. It does not acknowledge the achievement of reform and new evolvement of the judicial system.”

  2. This is becoming a very dark time for a lot of people; These people have enjoyed the good life for a very long time; at the expense of the poorest of people; The very people that David Fletcher wanted and did help.
    Aple is responsible for a lot of kids going to sleep hungry, in need of medical attention and with out an opportunity for better education.
    Their evil actions may have caused deaths but at the very least, they have shown that they do not care for human life; they care about money. About having a good well paying job and an easy life;
    David Fletcher has not enjoyed the easy life; David was about 65 when he went to prison in Thailand, was tortured and forced to live in conditions we would not allow our pets to endure.
    Now 70 David is still very much alive; I am sure aple is disappointed by that fact. The result of David's suffering my very well be that all of this crooked and underhanded dealings are coming to the light of day and hopefully the light of justice.
    These evil and corrupt people, and especially some employees at both the Thailand and Cambodian British embassies well be exposed for their actions.
    The Daily is taking on a very important role is all of this and should be applauded for doing so.............proving that they do care about Cambodia and the corruption that must stop if her people are ever going to enjoy prosperity. I very much look forward to seeing these people stand before their peers and explain why so may people have suffered while they enjoyed the good life.....Wes

  3. Not hard to see why APLE opted for a secret trial and will do whatever is necessary to make sure that there is no re-trial. What a farce!

    ReplyDelete
  4. Let me get this straight

    On 15th March 2009 David Fletcher brutally raped Yang Dany in a bar that did not open for another six months? This rape in the bar that did not exist was not observed by APLE who at the time had David Fletcher under surveillance.

    A week later Yang Dany returned to the bar that did not exist to be raped again, having failed to mention the first rape to APLE - which, she knew, was looking for evidence to use against Fletcher.

    Neither of these rapes in the bar that didn't exist resulting in the breach of Yang Dany's hymen.

    15 months later, Yang Dany tells Andrew Drummond that David Fletcher is her fiance, her future husband and a good man despite the two brutal rapes that left her hymen intact.

    Before leaving the country David Fletcher gives Yang Dany and her mother some of his furniture, in the same month that APLE admits it has no evidence that he has had sex with Yang Dany, either forced or consensual.

    A month later Yang Dany accuses her 'fiance' of having raped her twice in the bar that did not exist in March 2009.

    In September that year a doctor's report says that Yang Dany is a virgin, her hymen in place after the brutal rapes that took place in the bar that didn't exist whilst Fletcher was under APLE surveillance.

    Am I missing something?

  5. James, your tireless work is finally coming to fruition! Perhaps David's conviction will ultimately result in exposure of a corrupt legal system as well as the NGO's that have defrauded many well intentioned people out of their money.

  6. Action Pour les Enfants has lost what little credibility it had left. It will be interesting to see which NGOs continue to work with APLE now that the NGO has been comprehensively exposed as a corrupt organisation with no respect for the legal rights of either the victims of sex crimes or those accused of committing them. APLE is a money-making machine that needs to feed sex offenders in one end to be chewed up and turned into dollars that spout out the other end.

  7. Not just APLE that has lost all credibility but NGOs that work with APLE including Licadho. A human rights organisation conspiring with APLE to pervert the course of justice! Interesting concept, but hey, this is Scambodia, why am I even a little bit surprised!

    I have no doubt in my mind that we will NOT see the justice David Fletcher and those following his case are hoping for. Rather we will see more distractions, NGO press releases and behind doors negotiations how to shut down David Fletcher's case so that he dies in jail.

    The NGO profiteers are in bed with most of the press and with the British government. They do not want anyone taking their luxury life from them. I also have my doubts about the media. Given the fact that the only newspaper that I thought would make a difference, namely the Khmer Times fell for the CCF trick to publish a happy CCF dumpsite girl story that would have never made it without Neeson and his CCF reminds me of the press releases put out by the Somaly Mam Foundation. Good to see the Cambodia Daily finally getting interested in this story though.

    Pretty well all the ‘facts’ that make up this blog have been gleaned from court documents and are available to anyone interested in facts; in evidence.

    It is when the agreed upon facts are laid out along a time line that it becomes apparent there are holes in APLE’s case that you could drive a Mack truck through. A young woman raped twice in a bar that did not open until 6 months later! Etc.

    APLE knew this back in 2011, which is why its lawyers insisted on a close court (secret trial.) And today, in September 2015, it is the lack of credibility in any case APLE could run with now in the Appeal Court that makes the NGO so determined that there will be no appeal. (Join the dots).

    In anticipation of this, Mr Fletcher’s lawyer and I have begun preparing a case for the Supreme Court - in which all the evidence I have revealed to date on this blog (plus a lot that that I have not yet revealed) can be heard in an open court.

    7. At the risk of belabouring the point, Anonymous 1.34, these facts have all been gleaned from hundreds of pages of official documents - the entire records of the court proceedings in Cambodia and hundreds of pages of documents acquired though FOI legislation in the UK and other documents relevant to the whereabouts of Mr Fletcher at particular times.

      In a proper court case I doubt very much that Mr Fletcher would ever have to take the stand since the defence could demonstrate, with these documents alone (and there will be more soon) that, amongst many other things, Mr Fletcher would have to have raped Yang Dany in a bar that did not open until 6 months after the alleged rape took place.

I would love to be a fly on the wall. They cant afford a trial that will make them all look like fools. And they cant let Fletcher die in jail now that its pretty fucking clear that he is an innocent man. A rock and a hard place. Welcome to Scambodia, Kingdom of Wonder

    These 'facts' are not based on Fletcher's version of events. They have all been gleaned from hundreds of pages of (a) court documents and (b) documents acquired through FOI legislation.

    The only way that APLE could come out with a big 'fuck you' would be to find in these same documents a timeline different to the one I have presented. If they can, then the differences between the two timelines is precisely what courts are meant to look at and adjudicate.

    If APLE is confident that it has facts, evidence and truth on its side, the NGO should be eager to have a fair trial and put to rest, once and for all, conjecture about what did or did not happen in this case.

  16. My letter to the Editor of the Cambodia Daily:


    As a voluntary legal advisor to David Fletcher’s, I challenge Chea Nara’s assertion that APLE “has never seen or received any evidence that that changed its opinion about the girl's victimization.” This is both misleading and untrue.

    On 8th September 2010 APLE received a medical report, commissioned by the Phnom Penh Municipal Court, stating that the alleged victim’s hymen was intact, that she was a virgin, despite having allegedly been raped twice by Mr Fletcher.

    Did this medical report not raise any questions at all with APLE’s legal team about the veracity of the alleged victim’s statement to the police regarding her rape?

    "This doctor’s report was entered into evidence by APLE in a closed trial in 2011. The judges determined that the alleged victim’s hymen must have grown back.

    In November last year I personally handed APLE's lawyer, San Sony, a USB drive that had on it two interviews I had conducted with the alleged victim and her mother. Both asserted in the interview (with 3 other journalists present) that no rape had taken place; that the charges were laid after they had been told that they stood to receive a substantial amount of money in compensation.

    If Chea Nara “fully supports that Mr Fletcher…be granted a retrial," why didn’t he instruct San Sony to support Mr Fletcher's application for a retrial so that the alleged victim’s evidence could be tested in court?"

  18. The more one looks at this, the more one has to look at the British Embassy.

    Someone in the Embassy in Thailand knows exactly what happened to David's passport.

    Someone in the Embassy knows some if not all of the people involved in the framing of David.

    Someone is the Embassy, perhaps more than one, knows that an innocent man has lingered in prison for five years.

    I suspect that they never expected David to ever see the light of day and therefore never bring any of this to the world's attention.

    James has discovered just how deep this corruption runs; and it’s very deep.

    Scott Neeson may be the head but there are a lot of tails out there, following him blindly; no doubt for the money, and there was a lot of money involved.

    David got in the way. His mistake was caring about feeding the kids.

    When all of this comes to see the light of day, the British Embassy will not be blameless. The Foreign and Commonwealth Office needs to start correcting this failing.

  20. APLE - The "How To" Business Model that will never put the man
    responsible, namely APLE's founder Thierry Darnaudet, in the dock.

    The trick works like this:

    You found a NGO with local Country Director, a puppet, in charge. The local country director, Samleang Seila will be responsible for everything this NGO does. The man pulling the strings (Darnaudet) though gets away with everything because he doesn't stay in the country and goes out of his way to not seem connected to the organization.\

    Years ago when Darnaudet started putting his gangstalking videos on youtube and on TV channels around the world there was at least one English reporter who said "APLE is using questionable methods" to which I might add that they are also "illegal" in most western countries.

    This did not prevent from countries like the UK, US, Netherlands, Switzerland actively supporting APLE - whose track record catching western pedophiles seemed just to be too good to be true. (It was too good to be true!)

    It's sad to add that most of the Western media were no better. They wrote and broadcast sensational stories that translated into:

    CASH.

    Cash for Thierry Darnaudet, Samleang Seila and others in APLT including Naly Pilorge.

    That tells us a lesson or two about the value of a human being from the
    western perspective.

    Will Thierry Darnaudet ever be held responsible for his gangstalking,
    vigilantism and the destruction of many mixed race families in Cambodia ?
