CHILD RAPE AND SEX ABUSE IN BUDDHIST TEMPLE!

     Sexual abuse of children... it's not just for Catholic priests any more. And, as it turns out, enabling and cover-ups are not a Catholic monopoly either. According to a July 24 article in the Chicago Tribune, Theravada Buddhist monks are walking away from sex abuse accusations and temple superiors are frustrating law enforcement by insisting they have no control over monks' actions or whereabouts.
   Take the case of Camnong Boa-Ubol, for instance. According to a lawsuit filed against the Wat Dhammaram Theravada Temple in Chicago, a 12-year old girl told his superiors that the "monk had turned off the lights during a tutoring session, lifted her shirt and kissed and fondled her breasts while pressing against her..."
Here's the result (from the Tribune):
Shortly after that meeting, one of the monks sent a letter to the girl's family, saying the temple's monastic community had resolved the matter, the lawsuit says.

The "wrong doer had accepted what he had done," wrote P. Boonshoo Sriburin, and within days would "leave the temple permanently" by flying back to Thailand.
"We have done our best to restore the order," the letter said.
But 11 years later, the monk, Camnong Boa-Ubol, serves at a temple in California, where he says he interacts with children even as he faces a second claim, supported by DNA, that he impregnated a girl in the Chicago area.
Sriburin acknowledges that restoring order did not involve stopping Boa-Ubol from making the move to California. And it did not involve issuing a warning to the temple there. Wat Dhammaram didn't even tell its own board of directors what happened with the monk, he said.
"We have no authority to do anything. … He has his own choice to live anywhere," Sriburin said.
A second lawsuit against Boa-Ubol and the temple was brought by a woman who claims the monk sexually assaulted her back in the 1990s when she was 14 and fathered a child on her. DNA tests have verified that the monk is the father.
     My friends this kind of sexual abuses is entirely wrong.  The young girls are not expect this kind of sex torture in the temple.  The cruel Buddhist monks do this kind of ugly things.  What a shame it is!  Periyar said, "Who spreads the God is scoundrel"  It is exactly true! ok.
