PHNOM PENH, Cambodia (AP) - Prince Norodom Ranariddh has been charged with adultery for having a mistress while still being legally married to his wife, a Cambodian court official said Monday.
The prince, a former prime minister now living in France, faces up to a year in prison and fines of up to $245 if convicted, said Sok Kalyan, a prosecutor at the Phnom Penh Municipal Court, adding that the charge was filed last month.
Muth Chantha, a spokesman for Ranariddh, said the charge is politically motivated. The prince's opponents want to prevent him from returning to take part in political activity in Cambodia, Chantha said.
