A New Zealand man is appealing his 10-year sentence for sexually abusing Cambodian boys.
Malcolm Hatfield was convicted of debauchery in 2004 after being convicted of molesting four boys aged 12 to 14. He claims the evidence against him was fabricated by child welfare organisations.
The 62-year-old hid his face behind a plastic bag from reporters as he emerged from a two-hour closed-door hearing at Phnom Penh Appeals Court.
Cambodia has struggled to shed its reputation as a haven for paedophiles, putting dozens of foreigners in jail for child sex crimes since 2003.
