Drayton Valley woman arrested in Cambodia released on bail
A young woman from Drayton Valley is among seven Westerners to be released on bail after they were arrested last month in Cambodia for allegedly posting photos on social media of themselves engaged in sexually suggestive dancing.
The 10 — from Canada, the U.K., Norway, the Netherlands and New Zealand — were arrested on Jan. 25 when police raided a party at a rented villa in the northwestern town of Siem Reap and found people “dancing pornographically” at an event organizers called a pub crawl.
Siem Reap is near the famous Angkor Wat temple complex.
A Cambodian court spokesman in Siem Reap said Thursday that the investigation of the case has been completed but no trial date has been set. He said three other people remained in detention but he didn’t know their names or nationalities.
