A 13-year-old Thai boy alerted his family after enduring repeated sexual assaults from the head of a temple in Nakhon Phanom, in the Isaan province. The child kept the incidents a secret as he wished to continue his education at the temple.

 

The child's mother, 40-year-old Lawan, reported the alleged perpetrator, a head monk named Boonsong, to the Tart Phanom Police Station on July 16. She also provided a medical certificate as proof of the sexual assault.

 

The victim told authorities that due to the family's financial constraints, he was sent to the temple to pursue his studies. However, during his two-month stay, he was repeatedly violated by Boonsong, despite wanting to continue his studies.

 

According to the victim, Boonsong forced him to give massages in his private quarters, coerced him into performing sexual acts, and later sexually assaulted him. After these incidents became increasingly frequent, the boy confided in his mother.

 

Lawan expressed her shock, as the family held Boonsong in high regard. Having lived at the temple for over five years, there had been no previous allegations of sexual misconduct on his part.

 

 

Despite the emotional toll the incident had taken, Lawan expressed her hope that her son could still pursue his studies at the temple.

 

Uthit Aoonchai, a community leader, confirmed to Channel 7 that Boonsong admitted to his actions and proposed to compensate the victim's family and remain a monk. However, the monks' committee denied this request due to his severe misconduct.

 

Boonsong stated his actions sprang from love and impulse, confessing to multiple instances of sexual assault on the boy during his stay.

 

Having been expelled from the monkhood due to his atrocities, Boonsong was transported to a local police station for further investigation. He faces charges of sexual assault and rape of a person under the age of 15, with a potential maximum sentence of 20 years in prison.

Strange how there aren't the same calls for "crackdowns" on monks and their associates as there are on foreigners... 🤔
