Australian Story
An Innocent Abroad (1) (24x16)
Udgivelsesdato: Aug 12, 2019
Encouraged by her friends to look for love online, Queensland teacher and mother-of-two Yoshe Taylor swiftly found herself immersed in the stuff of nightmares.
Communications with a man calling himself "Precious Max" led to a visit to see him in Cambodia. When Yoshe cooled on a relationship, her suitor switched tacks and suggested she work with him in an arts and crafts business instead.
The business was revealed to be an international drug smuggling racket that had also ensnared other unsuspecting Australians.
Sentenced to 23 years in a Cambodian prison for unwittingly carrying heroin, Yoshe was helpless and largely forgotten until a group of lawyers teamed up to fight her case.
Six years later, she shares her story for the first time, in a warning to others about the perils of online romance.
