Stint in jail for Aussie

A CAMBODIAN court yesterday sentenced an Australian nurse to 18 months in prison for sourcing clients for a surrogacy clinic in the impoverished kingdom, as authorities tackle “womb for rent” businesses.

Tammy Davis-Charles, 49, has been in custody since her arrest in November, weeks after Cambodia abruptly banned commercial surrogacy.

Police said Davis-Charles took advantage of the continued demand for surrogates, charging Australian clients up to $50,000 for each request.
