An Australian nurse has been jailed for 18 months in Cambodia for providing commercial surrogacy services.
Tammy Davis-Charles was arrested in Phnom Penh in November last year, shortly after the Cambodian government had banned commercial surrogacy.
During her trial the 49-year-old denied the charges and said she only provided medical care to the surrogates.
Commercial surrogacy has grown in South East Asia in recent years, prompting some countries to take action.
In 2015 Thailand imposed a similar ban on foreigners seeking Thai surrogates, following a string of scandals.
