In the grainy black-and-white video the tycoon is seen dragging the actress off a leather couch at a Phnom Penh restaurant. He throws her to the ground, kicks her head and pummels her with body blows. Now the man is pleading for mercy in a case that has outraged Cambodia. The 1-minute video, which the actress and TV personality known to fans as "Sasa" posted on her Facebook page last week, has become the focus of social media and morning talk shows and put pressure on police to deliver justice in a country where the wealthy often act with impunity. The attacker, a married and middle-aged property tycoon named Sok Bun, admits he made a mistake and said he is trying to pay for it. "I, Sok Bun, deeply regret what happened," he said in a statement issued Tuesday. "I could not control myself." He offered to pay his victim $40,000 to make the case go away, then upped the offer to $100,000, which she has rejected. He has now appealed to Prime Minister Hun Sen to take pity on him and guarantee his freedom. Sok Bun disappeared a day after the video began circulating online and is believed to be in Singapore, police say. In a second statement issued Tuesday, he said he was "absent from Cambodia" for medical treatment and will return when "my security is guaranteed."

This reminds me of the young Chinese man who murdered a girl while driving drunk then dared people to sue him as he was the son of Li-Gang. http://ift.tt/1OkyTYl It seems that the Cambodian government is not trying to cover this one up, yet.

Of course we have a similar problem in the USA. It's a "medical" issue called affluenza with one of the poster children being killer Ethan Couch.
