Phnom Penh, Jun 29 (AFP) A Cambodian court charged a Buddhist monk today for secretly filming hundreds of women as they bathed naked with holy water at a temple and then sharing the clips, officials said.
Net Khai, 37, faces up to a year in jail after being charged with "producing and distributing pornographic images" by Phnom Penh Municipal Court, prosecutor Ek Chheng Huot told AFP.
He was arrested at his pagoda in the Cambodian capital on Saturday over allegations that he secretly taped the women pouring sacred water over themselves in a pagoda bathroom, said police chief Touch Naruth.
Net Khai was arrested after a victim approached police and said that video clips showing the naked women had been shared among people via their mobile phones in recent weeks.
He was subsequently stripped of his religious status.
"He has filmed hundreds of women since 2008.

I met this man at night club in PP. ohhh, I didn't know he was a monk!!!!
Despicable! Unfortunately this is the current reality of some of our religious figures...sex, drug, and political prostiution.
Im respect monk ,but I dont believe
all of them. In my mind good and real monk have about30% in Cambodia and out of country. all of them are fake...
TEP VONG ??? dress like monk shave like monk his brain pure yuon
dollars ... body guard..gun ?????
Net Khai...should put in jail 5 years....
All people please dont trust monk too much..before donation..alot monk drink...watch porno movie ..night time go to karaoke,take girl to have a sex in the temple.ect...
KAUN seis lok
If no radical actions are taken, those fake monks will sooner or later destroy the khmer society.
12:35 AM,
You are correct. These no-good young monks are seriously undermining the integrity of Cambodia's buddhism.
I agree with post 12:35am! i think authority should find the way to tag all monks throughout the country, there's some criminals hidding inside the robe pretending to be a monks, living of people donations...free foods,free drinks, collecting money and save up, bought themself a Lexus car? Iphone, Apple computer, watching porns, had sex at night...in the dome?
TEP VONG?NUON GNET?......
They should ban buddhist monks from doing any superstitious rituals. Their job is to learn and teach buddha dharma, not any stupid "magic" cures for anything!
I totally agree with 1:18am! Monk only allow to teach...not rituals healing or magic trick? this monk had told the widow to stick banana inside her virgina..? god damn man!
Yes, you all who said that “the authority should find the way to tag all monks throughout the country, there's some criminals hiding inside the robe pretending to be a monks, living of people donations...free foods, free drinks, collecting money and save up, bought themselves a Lexus car, Phone, Apple computer, watching porn’s, had sex at night...in the dome”. All of these ideas are exactly right, but before you do that you should work on TEP VONG and NUON GNET first because these two top monks are the examples and are represented of all the monks in Cambodia.
A man behind a yellow/orange robe and well nourished along with no intention to be a good dedicate monk are a recipe for a good dedicate playgirl.
Ki-Media should use a properly word at the NEWS TITLE!to avoid confusion among the non Buddhist belivers.
You should use the word EX- or FORMER Buddhist MONK instead. After he was striped by force not to continuing practice Buddhist any more, he is not a Buddhist Monk now, though beyond this point he's becomming a regular citizen, the worst of all he's becomming a bad bandit inside Buddhism siciety.
it means he is no longer a Buddhist monk. In Buddhist siciety we do not promoting this Kind of BAD CROOK Monk to any other ranking nor other place, he must be instently stripped from practice by force(once it's provs of wrong doing) to put him in jail or he may be get punishment by the hand of civilians surounding the TEMPLE, if the autority ignoring too long to tackling sinfully acted.
Thank in advance!
Buddhism WATCHING!
Not "ex," nor "former," the proper adjective at this time is "defrocked" or "de-robed"
Even Tep Vong has been drinking too, what do you expect ? If head goes the body will follow.
Yes, monks do go clubing!
It is not just the rogue monks who are giving buddhism a bad image, but the men, women and other civilians who falsely believe they could get to and stay on top of the world by "sroch teuk mont" or by the fake "tveuh bonn" are also guilty of turning the true meaning of buddhist teachings into a circus of superstitious comedy.
Just like some priests or pastors in Western countries who had told their believers that Jesus gave them power to cure and heal...
Not only monks but there are a lot more of Victims Of Pope, Priests, Pastors, Bishop Sexual Abuse and Other...!

He could have gotten away if he didn't send videos to other cell phones. One dumb monk.
hi ki I think this post no accessory for Cambodian, but I feel naked our religion to other religion to see our secret.
it is impossible to post much for this news.
it is like father or mot and children. father or mother never reveal the bad act of his/her children.
one year is way too short...you should get more than that for what he does.
Even Tep vong drunkard and masturbating in front of porn movie...what you expect?
I agree with comment above! i think Tep Vong and Noun Nget must step down from Samdach Song, because it's under their watch...remembered Kiet ChanTuch Monk who drunk and beating up people all over the temple? Tep Vong defend this drunkard moron..?
Folks,Neth Khay monk learned from his superior...Tep vong, Noun Nget!
How did you know he wasn't a monk? Did the shaved head and eyebrows not give it away or did you think he was just sick?
In regards the article, this is the same religion which won't allow monks and women to sit together?? I refuse to believe that Buddha said that women were evil or impure in any way. I think this goes directly against the ethos of Buddhism but it does go along way to explaining why women are treated to badly in Cambodia. I've always wondered how such a situation could exist in this strict Buddhist country of people (particularly women and children) and animals being treated so cruelly.
As a result, i think the form of religion is to blame. If the religion really taught us that we were all equal: equally valuable and important regardless of our gender. I think this attitude would make a much more peaceful country. You would have less abuse against women such as the example here.
I am sorry that the court only sentence him to 1 year in prison. I think in my opinion, he should receive at least 5 years, plus compensation to the victims. Compensation can be done in giving his property to support orphans. Most importantly, this man must ask for apology in public...
I nguon nget should now deport him to YOUN and let the YOUN take care of the insult, torture, abuse down there. Because CPP regime doesn't know how to punish there people. Just let the YOUN does everything.
Don't blame him alone, he committed this because his leader Tep Vong is the same but no one has taken any action on him. This guy just followed is leader many other monks are the same. It's good for him to deserve now. Jail is built to lock these kind of people but why not others who are under CPP?
A lot more that we need to discipline them.
i don't mean to defend lewd acts against khmer women, but surely a year's jail would be GROSSLY unjust and disproportionate to what seems to be a light offence. Sometime ago someone was beaten to death by a mob for stealing chickens in a village north of Phnom Penh.. why is it that our society hasn't got a sense of balance? why are we so brutal and unforgiving deep down..? or is it that our hypocrisy has blinded us to the need to show compassion?

My question is.... what were these women doing bathing NAKED in the temple? When they pour the holy water, we always sit on the temple steps or somewhere out in the open.
And some of u guys said that they should ban any types of rituals done by monks. Are u fucken crazy? This is a not a communist country. Then they should ban any types of rituals done by all religions as well. If people are stupid to take off their god damn clothes in the temples, then they are really asking for it.
This individual is disgracing our religion and should be punished accordingly, as a buddhist believer i feel sick to my gut that some sick individual could do such thing.
Two month ago they caught monk with a woman at the guesthouse, and another monk hide a girl in his dome, when authority arrived, he told authority the girl his cusin? now we have another monk taking picture of young girls taken a bath..? what's going on with our religions nowaday..?
It don't matter if the girls were naked or not? Monk not suppose to take a picture of them..?? Monk suppose to teach people the good way of life instead of watching porns on VCD,XXX Movies in his dome?? people had place faith and trusted...why monk do such a thing? taking a picture of young girls since 2008? this monk also told the widow to stick banana into her virgina? what's kind of rituals is that?
I bet whold bunch of sick monks out there doing this craps!!! i can't believe monks these days? it's all about scams, cheating, manipulating...i hope authority tracking down these crooked monks and prevent from happening again and again?
You don’t know this story is true or not?
I don’t believe it 100% because Hun Sen’s authorities used to frame a lot of nationalists and the opposition parties.
Also, I heart that, right now, the monks tried to involve in politics to save our Country.
9:24apm! i knew some monks overhere involve in politics, i have been inside the meeting to listening these monks too, they try to bring down Hun Sen's government...Monks suppose teach people how to live in good way of life and righteous, not involving in POLICTICS??
Monk name "Rithapul" in Lowell, Massachusetts
Monks must focus on their duty as a Monks? do not involve in politics or other thing beside religion? Monks job is to teaching the good way of life, living the good way of life..? The truth monk do not touch money, keep mone or save money...example like Buth Savong! he doesn't touch money....that's kind of example?
Thank dear 3:44AM for the proper word using.
I would agreed with many of you up there but I would like to emphasize to dear 5:39pm that the Buddhist pagoda should not allow woman takes bath inside where ever, in the pogoda the abbot should regulaly checking on that kind of crooking monk. Yes the women taking bath in this paticular pogoda, what I understand is because of the stupid defrocked monk has been seting up the scenary for his under table jobs while in Buddhist practicing otherwise the woman not allow to do such a thing in Buddhism believe.
Yes I am happy to see Khmer autority made arrested him but not the sentence he should stay in Jail 5 years or more, also I believe there are many more in Cambodia especially in the prosperous Pagada inside the bigger cities.
To dear 7:55AM Ta tep vong, please not to mention about him to much because he's just an ordinary old poor ignorent citizen, he was a Khmer rouge's spy before 1975 his job was artist of irvory Buddha pandent then later on he became a desperitely Rice MILL employee in Odormeanchey. He was working so hard during that time, that why he got a credit honoring then Mr. Hun Sen was promoting him to hold his position up to date. Please not to ask him to much about Buddhism, Buddha or Monk's displinary, I am telling you now, he did not have background in Buddhism field at all!!.
Yes, I agreed with 5:39PM. There is something fishy in the story. If I analyze a little bit more the case, I will have a lot of questions in my mind?
Why women naked in the Temple? It can be the mistake of the monk, lure them to come or some body frame him like 9:24 PM has said “Hun Sen’s authorities used to frame a lot of nationalists and the opposition parties”.
Additionally, in the normal condition the monks should not involve in the politic, but in the case that our Nation will be disappear for ever like this the monks should involve helping.
No! you can't do anything to Tep Vong because he had allowed viets to dig out and took GOLD from temple.Gold was buried by ex.KR.
That is how Tep Vong got promoted, NOT by knowledge or merit.And he does not have one of these.
This old man is only hiding himself in Buddhism, but pay deep gratitude to youn.
This trick has been imposed and enforced by 7 January.
Oh! fat cats,when will you wake up.
I disagree to hide such news. Reputation of a nation or a country does not come from the way we control media to make the country looks good. Instead, it is about how we take a good care of the people. We need to make sure every member of this society live with dignity. As far as this info is spread, we are contributing to save lives of many women.
I dont understand as well, how come this evil man is being sentenced only one year while hundreds of women are suffered severely for lives due to his act?
Yiey Noun
The Monks chief should double check on all monks daily findout anything suspicious? what's this monk doing? and that monk did? where they came from? what's their background? i blamed the monks chief for not doing his job as a CHIEF!! don't just sitting in the dome all day without walking around and checkout things..? or may be the monk chief himself busy watching porns movie too...?
Well, it does not matter if the girls were taken a bath with clothes or without clothes..? the thing is, the Monk not suppose to peep or taking a picture of them..?? and all those VCD XXX Rate movie inside his room? and some of you guy said this monk has been frame?? i am glad they caught this monk!! if they don't our reigion will spreading like cancer diseases...destroying by crooked monk and corrupted monk..!!
correction = religion
DISGRACE!! i urge authority to investigate all Temples throughout cambodia, double check on all monks background, i believe there are more crooked monk like this one out there taken advantage on believer...
Alot of monks here go into monkhood because they have no other options. That's their only way to get free housing and education, not because they really want to seek ordination. The older monks are the true monks.... they've devoted their lives to the religion and to helping people out.
How can u possibly check their backgroung here? This is not America where u can run someone's SS # or call around to check their references.lol
Hey atleast he's not effin with little boys like them other culture.
This Pagoda must shut down for good!! and all monks in Srah Chak's pagoda should be defrocked including Abbot's of the Pagoda, because of his negligence....!! what's a shamed!!!!
Sorry, No Foods, No Drinks...for crooked monks from now on!! you have to go out and work?
I blamed Abbot for not taking good care of the Pagoda! Abbot suppose to get up from his lazy Ass and check out thing around Pagoda..? don't just sitting all day inside the dome?? i bet all other Temples, Wat, Pagoda throughout cambodia have bad, crooked monk like this moron...
Authority must investigate all Temples all around and throughout the country, there's too many crooke Monks out there taken advantage on believers...!!!
5:39 PM,
do you want these monks selling magic potion to your mom, wife, and sisters?
Noun Nget and Tep Vong MUST step down immediately!! for a long time Noun Nget and Tep Vong had done a very poor jobs and Negligence!! All Temples and Pagoda throughout cambodia must review and investigate, background check all people and monks where they came from? who? what kind of poeple staying inside the Pagoda? why they are here? Abbot must find out what kind of people and who are they? why all kind of people or relatives of the monks staying inside the pagoda? what's purpose?
Nowaday i think there's no Truth monks or Truth religions, they are all Fake!! and just wanted to make an easy living of from people support, living of from people donation and taken advantage on believers that's all...in the past we had monks drank wine get into the fight, hidding the girls in his dome, authority even caught the monks inside the night clubs with girls..? when you see monks having nice Luxury car to drive, an expensive iphone, computer, there's something wrong? The real and the truth monks...never touch money or never have to worry about the money..? but monks today are fake and corrupted, crooked MONKS!!
I disagree with Noun Nget he said, the media should wait after the monk disrobe first before spreading the news to public? i think the media should keep up the good work, this way all people knew what's going on with bad and crooked monks!! why wait after the people commited crimes or already did something bad? find out and put them on the SPOT!!!!!! don't wait??
It's the same Shit! it doesn't matter if the monk has to defrock first and spread the news after that?...still MONKs?? this stupid Noun Nget and Tep Vong are bunch of usless moron...
It makes no difference, if there is a prevalent problem of unruly young monks,the public has to know - the same is for Srah Chak pagoda and the Vatican in Rome. It has to be public because of the criminal dangers and because it is morally the right things to do. On the other hand, these women need to know there ain't no magic potion or ritual in the whole world to make you more attractive or to make you millionaires, not by these young monks, and not by those other religions' preachers.
Noun Nget said, defrock the monk first and then spreading the news to the publics? Its make no difference?? if bad crooked monk, we all have the right to know???? not waiting for this? and waiting for that? why you affraid or try to hide from the publics? i urge new medias people to keep the good work...you are an ears an eyes of the publics..!!!!! Thanks for the good work!!!!
Noun Nget drunkard! Tep Vong drunkard! why wait? why tell the public latter? you'r all completly right! people have the right to know right away!!
Ke tha! Phout nov neoung HOR! Chor nov neoung Cheang!
Monks not suppose to perform any kind of rituals? or Magic? Monk's job is to teach people living in the good way! Monks job is to focus on religions only...but monks these days, taken advantage on believers, cheating, manipulating, using religions for BUSINESS only!!!!
Authority must investigate all Temples throughout cambodia findout all monks background, some monks who have bad behavoir bad character must kick out of the temple immediately!! Abbot must check out all monk's behavoir if monk conducting good behavoir that monk can continue to stay in the pagoda, there's alot of bad, crooke monks out there that keep taken advantage on believers and using religions to do their business....
Some Monks just wanted to stay at the temple saving up money and have a chance to come to the third country lile US, Canada, Australia, French...etc...? these monks are crooke and bad monks!!!!!
Cambodian authority must keep an eyes on rich, wealthy monk who has nice luxury car and money in the bank...
I am glad they caught this bad monk Neth Khai, otherwise, this is the lesson to those crooked monk and bad behavoir monk out there to stop from what's they were up to...but i urge authority to continue to investigate every temples in cambodia, looking for bad monk, crooked monk...!!!!
Neth Khay monk was a nephew to the Monk's chief of Wat Srah Chak...that's why this crooke monk has Luxury car Lexus to drive and thousand thousand of dollars save up...? Monk's Chief done a terrible jobs!!!!! he must step down immediately!!!!!!
