Siem Reap: 71 year old convicted pedophile (who has since been identified as Tony Munro/Anthony Munro) from Adelaide has been arrested upon returning to Australia for crimes against children as far back as 1962.
He seems to have been a person of interest in the disappearance of 3 children, Arnna, Jane and Grant Beaumont from Glenelg Beach in January of 1966.
The man arrested last month has not been named in the media, but has been charged with 3 counts of buggery, 2 counts of unlawful sexual intercourse and 7 counts of indecent assault.
He was in Adelaide in 1966 when the 3 children went missing and was also a person of interest in that unsolved case, but there is no evidence to suggest he was involved in that particular case.
It sounds like his name is being withheld because there is an ongoing SAPOL (South Australia Police) investigation. Not only for the recent charges and the missing children, but also an investigation into a pedophile ring.
According to CEO’s source, “Mr X” has been living in Siem Reap for many years and runs a well-known bar. He left Cambodia to go back to Adelaide for tax reasons in June and was arrested at the airport for the child sex charges when he arrived in Australia.
His court case over the recent charges has been set for October and he is currently out on bail.
Here are some related links that are interesting to anyone looking into this story. They explain that Mr X was a successful businessman back in Australia, then fled to South East Asia and has been living in Cambodia and Burma, financing orphanages.
Several people have been following Mr X’s tracks in Siem Reap and are not surprised by his recent arrest. There are also some accusations out there by individuals who suggest Mr X is being protected by SAPOL, but those seem to be unfounded.
More information will undoubtedly come out in the near future.
An article in the Phnom Penh Post back in 2014 by Peter Olszewski shedding some light on Mr X in Siem Reap:
