Australian filmmaker James Ricketson has been found guilty of espionage and sentenced to six years in jail. 

The 69-year-old was dressed in prison orange and looked relaxed as the verdict was handed down on Friday by a bench of three judges in Phnom Penh. 

He was whisked away in a prison van yelling: "Which country am I spying for?"
