Cambodia anti-slavery hero Somaly Mam resigns after Newsweek exposé
By Michael Martinez
She was the world's crusader against the trafficking of girls for sex in Cambodia, and she told an extraordinary personal tale: she was a village girl sold by a grandfatherly man into sex slavery.
Triumphant as well as beautiful, Somaly Mam won attention from Oprah Winfrey, a New York Times columnist, a PBS documentary, Time Magazine's 100 Most Influential People of 2009, and even CNN, which named her a "Hero" in 2007.
The fame - and her memoir "The Road of Lost Innocence" - generated millions of dollars for her Somaly Mam Foundation, fighting sex traffickers.
But her personal story wasn't true, according to a Newsweek exposé this month.

Hello freedom fighters !
I think you must open a new front in the field , perhaps most important. And that is to open an international tribunal to try aevery religion , their books specially the Quran, their so called profets . charge them for crime against humanity and genocides. The least benefit of these trials would be the believers get information about the content of their sacred books they never have read them !!. Please do at least an anouncement about the matter in the name of humanity
I am ready to give my life for this if necessary.
