A Florida lawyer raped 2 minors a day at least 5 times while overseas, indictment says

A Tampa lawyer arrived in Cambodia with a photo or video of sex involving two kids, then raped two minors on at least five different days while there, according to a federal indictment.

Rugh Cline is back in Florida now, on house arrest after being released Monday on $100,000 bond. Cline, 40, pleaded not guilty to five counts of engaging in illicit sexual conduct in a foreign place and one count of possessing child sex abuse materials. He’s represented by attorneys Andrew Searle and Fritz Scheller.

Cline’s Florida Bar profile says the University of Miami School of Law graduate was admitted to the Bar in 2010, but is delinquent on Bar fees and can’t practice in Florida.
