Lake’s arrest followed an investigation by Cambodia's anti-human trafficking police squad in tandem with the anti-paedophile NGO, Action Pour Les Enfants (APLE).
APLE administration chief Vando Khoem reportedly told Daily Mail Australian Trevor Lake came to their attention light after one of the alleged victims, a girl aged 16, made contact with NGO's ground staff in Siem Reap.
