26-year-old Ekwegbalu Ugochukwu Udok, has been sentenced to 5 years in jail by a Municipal court in Cambodia for beating and raping Norwegian 27-year-old tourist, Nodia Ebert, in December 2014.
According to the presiding judge, on the day
of the incident, the young lady had just stepped out of a night club when she
met Udok who pretended to be a taxi driver and asked that she take a ride with
him.
“Udok said that he would bring her to the
Okay Boutique Hotel, but instead, he brought her to his rental house. After
arriving at his room, he raped her.” the presiding judge, Im Vanak said while
presiding over the case.
Udok however said outside the courtroom that
he will be appealing the court’s judgement at the Cambodia Supreme
court, “I believe that the court’s verdict was unjust for me, and I cannot
accept it. I will bring the case to the Appeal Court.”
