Cambodian monk arrested for molesting French girl at Angkor

PHNOM PENH--A Cambodian monk has been arrested and defrocked for molesting an eight-year-old French girl while she was touring the country's Angkor temples with her family, police said Monday.

The monk, 16-year-old Ouk Ratha, confessed to touching the girl's genitals last Friday after luring her into a quiet corner of the Bayon temple, one of the Angkor complex's most famous monuments in northwest Cambodia, said police official Sun Bunthong.

The monk also said he forced the girl to fondle him, Sun Bunthong said.

The girl's parents first became aware of the incident after noticing that she appeared frightened to have her picture taken with the monk.

"She agreed to be photographed twice with the monk out of fear," Sun Bunthong said.

"Afterwards her parents asked her why she was scared and she told them what the monk did to her," he added.

The parents complained to police and Ouk Ratha was defrocked a few hours after his arrest.

He faces three years in jail if convicted on sexual assault charges.

"It was a bad thing to do since monks represent Buddhism," Sun Bunthong said.

Large numbers of monks gather at the Angkor temples, the devoutly Buddhist country's spiritual center and largest tourist attraction.

This is a shame to Cambodian people and buddhism. This is what the job Tep Vong should be, to impart morality into these loss monks and defrock them when they break the religion, rather he spends his time going after good Khmer-krom monks who stand for what is good in religion and our culture!

Monk hood is very strict. either your committed and abide by the laws and rules of buddhism or you dont. Breaking the sacred laws is as bad as losing your soul. This boy knew exactly what he is (a Monk) and he knew exactly what he was doing (Molestation). I dont solely blame this on the child monk because this also shows that the elder monks aren't doing their part in teaching them well enough.

Yes, the Khmer people are all fuck up right now: King, Religion, Gov, People.
Do they learn anything? No.
Worse, they blame on Vietcongs, everyone who diagrees with them is Vietcong.

You will see another killing fields, again and again.

Blame is the name of the game. it is Vietcongs. These people brains are all fuck up very bad. Don't expect monks to be any better. Thet were the oncs used by Pol Pot to execute millions of their own people. Pol Pot, Nuon Chea, Ta Mok all were in monkhood, who turn out to be most savage people. They killed most intellectuals, leaving ignorants everywhere.

Why don't you speak the truth! What make you think the Thaicong government never receives foreign aid or begging the world for money? Thailane is nothing without Uncle SAM, Japan, and Great Britain... and that is the truth!

Thailane suppose to be classified as "advance country" because the Thaicong population had never been through the war, the bombing, the genocide, and the invasion! I can honestly say Thailane is one of the fucken ghetto countries of all the Asian countries because there is more prostitute, drug addicts, and disease aids in Thailane than anywhere in South East Asia!

I had been to Thailane and it is fucken ghetto and their fucken military are thugs, thieves, and rapists! It is no wonder the Muslim community in Southern Thailane are rebelling against the Thaicong authorities! The Muslim will kill all of you fucken Thaicong mother fucker for looking down on Khmer people! Ahahhahhah

The fucken Thaicong should have no need to worry about dirt poor Cambodia and with time Cambodia will catch up to Thaicong in all fields and that is the law of nature!

I read something like that that happened in Thailand, in fact I had to throw away one of my favorite Monk Buddhas, because the Monk on the coin in the necklace in Thailand was arrested for BIG-TIME child molestation. When I asked my Lao friends about it they just shrugged and said "He wasn't a real monk". I thought about it and it's true. He was a fraud monk. No shame to the rest of the real monks, these bad ones are by definition, not monks.

I invited you all to read the news back to 1997 or 1998 when the thai monk lured an austrian woman to a secluded temple in ....bury( I forget the name of the city) and raped her. So this is not something new or just a Khmer alone, monk is also a man and man has passion!!!!and it can be any nationality....

True buddhist do not commit such shamerful thing. FYI, after CPP regime demoralization has been the issue. There have been so many fake monks who try blend in Khmer society, the vietnamese spy Tep Vong is a good example.

Know your information before you curse at my Khmer people, especially those Vietnamese who come to KI-media to stir up the image of Khmer people.

Fuck Khmer and all your low class fuck pieces of shit. Your country is poor as fuck and yet you want to go to war with Thailand. Goodluck. You are proud of shit that doesn't matter anymore. The Khmer did this, the Khmer did that blah blah the Thais are using our alphabets ok. who gives a fucking shit seriously? The U.S. is speaking ENGLISH and using all the same alphabet, grammar etc and yet the U.K. doesn't come out and talk about how the U.S. owe sooo much from them. Hun sen is a fucking dictator, your leader is not going to make things better. Let's see if all your "experience" from killing of your own people in the civil war will be enough to win this war.
