Bradley James Gordon, a lawyer representing the family of Elizabeth Ross Johnson, the American heiress who in 2003 founded the Sovann Komar orphanage, spoke at length to The Cambodia Daily about the organization’s ongoing legal battles.
In a 2018 audit of Sovan Komar, Gordon’s team said they discovered “horrendous child abuse and fraud.” The organization has since been embroiled in legal battles over control of the orphanage and its assets.
The home’s former director, Sothea Arun, has denied the allegations.
