Cambodian police officials arrested a US Army sergeant wanted in the United States on more than 40 charges of child rape and possessing child pornography.
The 34-year-old was arrested Tuesday after his ex-wife in the US tracked him down online to the southern coastal town of Sihanoukville and alerted authorities via social media in October, the Cambodia Daily reported.
"This case will serve as a warning that Cambodia is not an easy place for fugitives to hide," the report quoted Uk Heisela as saying, the chief of investigations with the Interior Ministry's immigration department.
The suspected deserted the army and skipped bail in January in the US state of Florida, where he was awaiting trial on 44 counts of child abuse.
He fled to Cambodia where he began working in Sihanoukville as a dog trainer under an alias, the report said.
He was arrested in the westerly province of Kratie, which borders Vietnam, after a two-week manhunt, and would be deported to the US, the reported cited an immigration police official as saying.
