US Embassy in Cambodia Fires 32 Staff for Sharing Pornography
TEHRAN (Tasnim) - The US embassy in Cambodia has fired 32 people after they were allegedly caught sharing pornographic material in a non-official chat group, sources familiar with the matter said Friday.
Four sources told Reuters that pornographic videos and photographs, including some featuring people under the age of 18, were shared in a Facebook Messenger chat group.
Some of the images were seen by the wife of an embassy worker who reported the incident to an official at the embassy. The matter was then forwarded to the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI), the sources said.
“They had their identification cards taken and some of their phones checked,” a former US embassy staff member told Reuters on condition of anonymity.
He said the 32 embassy workers included Cambodians and Cambodian-Americans. Many were guards and some were clerical staff. There were no diplomats among them, they said.
