Kiwi accused of rape

A New Zealand man went on trial yesterday for allegedly raping five girls in Cambodia. Graham Robert Cleghorn, 55, was charged with raping the girls at his home in Siem Reap province, said Aing Mearadey, an investigating judge. He was arrested in October. The girls, who came from poor rural families, worked in Cleghorn's home as housekeepers, Aing Mearadey said. Cleghorn has denied the charges.
