Five Britons face up to a year in a Cambodian prison after police arrested them for "dancing pornographically" at a party.

Cambodian officials have charged a group of ten foreign tourists with "producing pornographic pictures" after images emerged of people apparently demonstrating different sex positions during a police raid on a rented villa.

Before appearing in court on Sunday, the Britons protested their innocence and said they were "trying to keep a good vibe".

The young men - several of whom had recently attended a popular pool party event called Let's Get Wet - said they had slept on the floor of a police station for three days, but "friendly" officers had bought them pizza.

Their arrests come after Cambodian authorities last year cracked down on tourists posting revealing images of themselves on social media.

Police said they had found people "singing and dancing pornographically" at the party in Siem Reap town near the Angkor Wat temple, a world heritage site.

It has been reported that police arrested 77 tourists who were taken to the local police headquarters to be “educated” on Thursday.

Most were released, but ten alleged "organisers" were held for 72 hours at the police station before appearing in court on Sunday, where they were put in pre-trial detention.
