Phnom Penh - A Cambodian court has questioned a defrocked monk accused of filming women who were bathing naked in sacred water at a Buddhist temple, national media reported Tuesday.
Net Khai, 37, was dismissed from the pagoda in Phnom Penh on Saturday after accusations he secretly videoed a dozen women pouring holy water over themselves in a pagoda bathroom, said municipal police chief Touch Naruth.
"This monk's act of filming naked women seriously affects our Cambodian society and Cambodian women's dignity," Touch Naruth told the Cambodia Daily newspaper.
Four women have filed complaints against the former monk, including one who claimed Net Khai had filmed her using his mobile phone and then shared the clip with others.
A court official said Net Khai would likely face charges related to the production and distribution of pornography, which carries a maximum sentence of one year and a 480-dollar-fine.
The head of the country's Mohanikaya Budhhist sect condemned the former monk's actions, but said it ought not to reflect on other monks.
"It is not connected to our monks' discipline at all, and now Net Khai is defrocked so the law can sentence him," said Supreme Patriarch Non Nget. "Yet we are sorry that this man was formerly a monk and did something repulsive to Cambodian society."
Non Nget said he could not understand why the women were naked at the pagoda in the first place, and said such practices should not reoccur.

Monk,Monk,Monk what have you done?.Those girls are so young and so naive i presume ,that's why they undress themselves before taking shower .Usually in srok khmer, a mature women always have SARONG on when taking shower.This peeping Tom must be masturbating alot after taking those pictures.
He needs to see mental health counselor and bar from being a monk again.
Does Cambodia have sex offender treatment? This kind sex maniac happens everywhere on the planet. Monk or no Monk, they are humans.
As a result from all these,there should be a rule for monks to follow.Every person who want to be a monk should be neutered(kriev)
12:18PM! what the fuck you try to say! because there crook and evil all over the world you accept their behavious as normal!
What kind of parents do you have?
This crooked monk should be jailed to death. More people will follow if only for one year.
Girls also must be punished for lacking of the morality. Why did she naked in the Religious premises? this is not the piratical.
This is a serious case. TEP VONG and NOUN NGET MUST RESIGN FROM CHIEF OF MONK.
Why 1 year? A poor man who steal a baby powder for his baby was sentenced to 6 months in Jail. May be the monk got video of the judge's wife.
Crooke monk, anyhow, you have helped those stupid women to stop believing in the stupid supersition, especially the SACREDBATH.
One opportunity you have missed: You have not fucked those stupid women.
This baldy owns Lexus while being a monkshood!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Buddhism is dead in Cambodia and congratulation to Viet for job well done on greedy and less-patriotic khmer. Vietnamization at its full swing.
3:22pm, Buddism is dead for u because you've never been a Budhist in the first place, but not for most Khmer people. Just because one idiot done this and you're going to judge everyone else? There are a bunch of Popes who molested or raped children and do u think the Christians or Catholics will denounce their religion?
Some of these monks here only go into monkhood because they have no other option. It's their only way to have free food, shelter, and education. And like any human beings, they have temptations. I'm not saying that it's right for them to do this, but i'm saying that if he truly chose this path to become a monk, then I don't think these kinds of things will happen. I suggest that people go see the elderly monks when they go to the temples or invite them to bless your house, rather than these young monks.
What are these women doing there in the firt place, bathing in the temple NAKED? I think they're not the typical Khmer women. Maybe some whores the monk picked off from the streets. No one go and bathe in a private room in the temple. When we want the monks to pour the holy water on us, we would sit in front of the temple steps along with a bunch of others. Or anywhere, OUTSIDE, the temple, where everyone else can see. I've been to many temples here and I've never seen anybody go into a private room in the temple to bathe.
Do you know what this bald head told the widow? he told the widow to stick banana(chek kchey) into her virgina? shit..!
and she's stupid enough to do it? She got guts to confess this to people.
it is not the whole case for all monks,and it is not the case of buddhism,so it is not mean all monks are bad and buddhism is not good,and how people think only bad case but do not try to find good case.as i know the monk who live in TOUL ONG KAJCH pagoda is very diciplined,and carmfull,so why almost people like to think that all monks are bad?
you can prepare to your case,if u are a monk then u can not do anything else,like do the job,have wife...,so what will happen in the brain of u.almost people who do not contact with other people and live alone often think about the sex.u can let your child to live alone in your house and do not contact with other,so your child will think about sex automitically.
otherwise,almost monks in cambodia take vows becouse they are poor,and some monks, becouse they are bad before they are the monks(it mean that they are bad prior to be a monks),so they still be bad when they are monks.but it is right to sentence becouse it is not a good action,becouse desire of people,but i want to say that u sould look good at some monks too,not only bad monk...
who want to share with me please send to heng_vongvimean@yahoo.com
GOOd luck!
