Monks arrested on charges of procuring a young boy

Two monks were detained by police on June 19, 2013 and later released on bail after the parents of a 14 year old boy went to police charging them with luring their son to have sexual acts with the abbot of a temple in Chiang Dao. Based on reports from the boy and a driver the two monks allegedly took the boy to the temple in Chiang Dao several times since February.
The two men, Bandit Boonkhum, age 23, and Saranyaphat Rungruang, age 20 denied all charges and refused to leave the monkhood. They were released on 200,000 baht bail. The police intend to issue an arrest warrant for the abbot that the two men allegedly procured the boy for.

If proven to be true ... this is sad at so many levels.

Is there the presumption of innocent before guilty in Thailand?

.

So it isn't only Catholic clergy, then.

Remember the Wat Dog scandle a few years ago.

Monk thought to be sleeping with woman.

Hidden video set up.

The culprit has sex with a dog.

Then another dog.

Then woman.

Then an other dog after she then left.

...And it was at Wat Dog ?????? you wouldn't be making that up would you??????

If what you say is true, than maybe it should be Which Dog

Boy, those Thai monks are a randy bunch.. If this is even slightly true, they should be thrown out of the monk hood and shown across all the Thai newspapers. This is even worse than monks flying around in private jets.

No, a wat dog is the same as a soi dog, except living in a wat.

Released on bail, refused to leave the temple.

Sums it all up.

Monks are having a bad month

Couldn't be worse than the boys.

This is not new.

Quite a few years ago a government report stated what was not that big a surprise to people who had been paying attention over the years and who had onside red certain facts: monks and teacher were the most common offenders in sexual abuse of children, after family members ( always the largest group represented anywhere).

(If someone calls for a source I don't know if I can find it...I saved some articles on it somewhere...or you can just assume I'm lying for some odd reason.)

The saddest part is that the youngster possibly thought he was going with the very people he should have been able to most trust.

That is all too often the case with sexual abuse of children.

Damn beat me to the punch there. When it rains it pours.....

So what happens when monks refuse to disrobe???

Surely there must be some force available.

What disrobe???? I thought disrobing was the problem..... if they kept their robe on there is no problem..... like de-frocking...English is indeed a fun and funny language.

I have heard everything now. Truly incredible.

This is hardly the first case of this kind. Nor is it a recent phenomena.
