Jan 31, 2015 8:17 PM UTC A trio of tourists from France were arrested for [taking nude photos](http://www.gmanetwork.com/news/story/422191/lifestyle/travel/french-tourists-in-nude-cambodia-photo-scandal-to-be-deported) of each other at a world-famous Cambodian temple, and will be deported. The three men in their early twenties were found Thursday inside Banteay Kdei temple at Angkor Archaeological Park, AFP reports, which houses Angkor Wat — a 12th-century temple and UNESCO World Heritage site. The trio were arrested by Cambodian authorities and given a suspended prison sentence of six months, plus deportation from Cambodia and a four-year ban on coming back to the country. The men were also fined $750 each. “They confessed to making a mistake and asked for the Cambodian people to forgive them for their actions,” prosecutor Koeut Sovannareth told AFP. The men claimed that they took the pictures as souvenirs, “but we believe that their intention was to use the photos in publications such as a calendar,” Sovannareth said. \[[_AFP_](http://www.gmanetwork.com/news/story/422191/lifestyle/travel/french-tourists-in-nude-cambodia-photo-scandal-to-be-deported)\] ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/3691107/french-tourists-nude-photos-cambodia-temple/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/3691107/french-tourists-nude-photos-cambodia-temple/"},"headline":"French Tourists to Be Deported Over Nude Photo Shoot at Cambodian Temple","datePublished":"2015-01-31T20:17:52.000Z","dateModified":"2026-04-13T07:16:25.665Z","description":"Court claimed three men were taking naked photos for use 'in publications such as a calendar'","url":"https://time.com/3691107/french-tourists-nude-photos-cambodia-temple/","keywords":["Newsfeed","France","World","Tourism"],"thumbnailUrl":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt5cbb6a6067b1db70/69877d153c16395d4e45186b/458730652.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Mandy Oaklander","jobTitle":"Oaklander is a senior editor at TIME.","url":"https://time.com/author/mandy-oaklander/"}],"articleSection":"","image":[{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt5cbb6a6067b1db70/69877d153c16395d4e45186b/458730652.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","width":1200,"height":675,"headline":"CAMBODIA-TOURISM-ANGKOR","caption":"CAMBODIA-TOURISM-ANGKOR","creditText":"Alex Ogle—AFP/Getty Images","representativeOfPage":true}],"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Time","url":"https://time.com/","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://time.com/images/logo.png","width":528,"height":156},"foundingDate":"March 3, 1923","sameAs":["https://www.facebook.com/time","https://www.instagram.com/time/?hl=en","https://twitter.com/time","https://www.pinterest.com/timemagazine"]}},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@id":"/tag/time-section-newsfeed/","name":"Newsfeed"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@id":"https://time.com/3691107/french-tourists-nude-photos-cambodia-temple/","name":"French Tourists to Be Deported Over Nude Photo Shoot at Cambodian Temple"}}]}] ```
