Contact us about supporting APLE
APLE have been working with anti-trafficking police and international authorities since 2003, to identify sex offenders travelling to Cambodia with the intention of abusing children. They also provide counselling and legal assistance to victims and their families, liaise with a network of NGOs working with children and create public awareness in order to prevent further abuse of children by paedophiles. Their team of investigators work around the clock, surveilling hotspots where children are known to be at risk, to collect and collate evidence for use in court. In 2009 they investigated 254 sex suspects which resulted in 37 arrests.
In our experience:
- APLE staff are devoted to the cause
- Are knowledgeable, sensitive and very well organised
- Have a track record with several high profile arrests
- Have strategic plan to pre-empt next wave of sex offences
