Victorian school teacher deported after night in Khmer cells

A VICTORIAN school teacher cleared of molesting children in Cambodia was quietly deported home to freedom after paying Khmer officials.

The man is still permitted to work as a teacher in Victoria.

Education Minister Martin Dixon had nothing to say about the case.

The man told the Herald Sun he had paid police in Cambodia's Sihanoukville province about $100 before they released him from his cell last June.

He had been detained overnight accused of inappropriately touching local children as he played with them on the beach.

He denied the allegations and insisted the cash was not a bribe, but a fee for the food he consumed.
