Two sisters have been arrested in Cambodia for taking naked photos of each other inside the country's holy Angkor temple. Lindsey Adams, 22, (brunette) and her 20-year-old sister Leslie (blonde), from Prescott, Arizona, were discovered taking 'nude pictures' inside the Preah Khan temple at the world heritage site on Friday. It seems, based on pictures from earlier in their trip (such as this, bottom right), that the girls have a tendency to strip down when.....
gracing new places. Local police said the girls 'lowered their pants to their knees and took pictures of their buttocks.' The pair are now being questioned and could be forced to cut their holiday short. The girls can be seen beaming in earlier tourist pictures in the South East Asian country. On Friday, they looked sullen (main image) as they were addressed by law enforcement.
The pair have been fined 1 million riel ($250) each, given six-month suspended jail sentences and are currently being deported by bus to Thailand, reports claim.
They have been banned from returning to Cambodia for four years.
A world heritage site, Angkor contains the remains of the different capitals of the Khmer Empire, dating from the 9th to the 15th centuries, and is Cambodia's most popular tourist destination.
Chau Sun Kerya, a spokeswoman for the Apsara Authority, said the women's actions were offensive because Angkor is considered sacred ground.
According to Cambodia Expats Online the pair were charged with indecent trafficking pornography and exposing sexual organs.
'Perhaps they did not know Angkor is a holy site. But their inappropriate activities affect the sanctity of the place,' she told AFP.
'The two tourists admitted that they really made a mistake by taking nude photos.'
