Police say they arrested the pair in April as they tried to take two Vietnamese women, aged 17 and 21, to the Cambodian-Thai border.

From there, they were to be taken to Malaysia to work as prostitutes.

The Vietnamese man has been jailed for 16 years.

His female accomplice has been sentenced to 13 years jail.

The court has sentenced in absentia the woman's husband, who is at large, to 18 years in prison for trafficking the two woman and making fake passports.

In July, the court handed sentences of 10 and 15 years to two Vietnamese for trafficking females from their homeland, including the daughter of one of them, to be sex workers in Malaysia.

Cambodia is both a significant sender and receiver of trafficked people because of its weak border controls and poorly enforced migration laws, according to the AFP news agency.
