The arrest was made just weeks after Cambodia became the latest country to ban commercial surrogacy. Tammy Davis-Charles, 49, was arrested on Friday along with two Cambodians during a raid on a rented house in Phnom Penh, Police Colonel Keo Thea, head of the Anti-Human Trafficking Office, told AFP. "She has been arrested for being an intermediary in surrogacy and for falsifying documents," Keo Thea said. She could face up to two years in jail if convicted, Keo Thea said, adding it was the first arrest for surrogacy in Cambodia. Cambodia now boasts some 50 surrogacy agents, a number of which cropped up in the past year, according to experts.
