Police in Thailand arrest two senior monks for sexually assaulting underage novice monks<\/h2>\n

On 20 March, police in Bangkok raided a temple in the Charoenkrung area after receiving reports that senior monks had been sexually assaulting underage novice monks under their care.<\/p>\n

According to Khaosod, authorities arrested two 24-year-old monks. They also discovered a plethora of items deemed unfit for a monk’s lifestyle within their living quarters.<\/p>\n

Knowing that phone use was forbidden in the temple, the seniors would tell the young monks to come to their private quarters.<\/p>\n

Police stated that the senior monks sexually abused the novices at least 30 times. Additionally, they secretly recorded the rapes.<\/p>\n
