HOUSTON CHRONICLE (Texas, USA)
A Buddhist monk from Spring who is accused of having sex with a 16-year-old girl is believed to have fled to his native land of Cambodia, Harris County Sheriff's Office reports show.
Wat Angkorchum Por Venh, 41, of the 16700 block of Kuykendahl, is wanted on two charges of sexual assault of a child. Por Venh is accused of having sex with the teen, who worshipped at the man's temple, from June until September.
The girl told a youth services specialist at Klein Forest High School that she was in love with Por Venh, a monk at the Wat Angkorchum Cambodian Buddhist Temple.
The girl revealed she later became suicidal when she learned of his "possible" sexual relationship with another woman, court documents show.
Harris County sheriff's investigators first learned of the incident Dec. 10 when the Klein Forest High School youth services specialist contacted them to report the alleged crime after the 16-year-old girl confided in her.
The teenager told a sheriff's investigator that same day that she frequently accompanied her mother to the temple in the 16700 block of Kuykendahl, where her mother would deliver food to the monk because her mother cooked and cleaned for the temple, court papers show.
The girl alleged the monk would take her into his bedroom, where they would have sex, according to court records.
The girl later told a forensic interviewer at the Children's Assessment Center that she was in love with Por Venh, but she was also hurt because she later learned he was "possibly sexually active" with another woman involved with the temple, according to ducuments. The girl reported this discovery hurt her because the monk had referred to himself and the 16-year-old girl as "boyfriend and girlfriend" in previous conversations with her, court papers show.
The girl confided to the forensic interviewer that she was contemplating suicide by hanging herself or overdosing on pills.
Two charges of sexual assault of a child under 17 years old were first filed against Por Venh on Jan. 14, but Por Venh's attorney told sheriff's investigators that the Buddhist monk was believed to have fled the U.S. and returned to his native land of Cambodia by that time, court papers show.
Both of those cases were dismissed on Tuesday due to a typographical error in the court papers, said Donna Hawkins, a spokeswoman with the Harris County District Attorney's Office. Hawkins said she did not know what that typographical error was.
Both charges were refiled against Por Venh on Wednesday and were on today's court docket, but he did not appear, Hawkins said. He has been ordered held on bonds totaling $40,000.
It was not clearwhen Por Venh left the U.S. The sheriff's investigator who handled the case could not immediately be reached for comment this afternoon.
Por Venh has no previous criminal history in Harris County.

This Por Venh is Viet Spy.
They send him to America to work as Spy for Viet Cong
He is not a real monk, but people just don't know that he is a bad man, Viet Spy and work for CPP. As far I knew he used to have connection with Bun Rany Hun Sen along time ago since he was at Wat Khemararam.
He is not a real monk. I told a lot of people, but seem like not many people believed in me. That is all I can say!
This very much shows a flaw in the US justice system by letting this flight risk individual to get out on bond. This idiot court judge need to be put in jail for miss handling the case. I am wondering if the US justice system is willing to extradite this former monk back to the state for prosecution.
from Mike, I am in America, Both of my parent are Khmer, and I am a businessman. I know Mr, Chan, he represent SRP in lowel MA , he work in Metta clinic, I know Nut romdul, Kim Chea, and many more in lowell. I know next month Madam Ransy will be in lowell. you see now most people label other as Veit or traitor are absolutely not acceptable wasn't it? looke at Pictur of CPP leader being label In KI was it acceptable to you if all Newspaper in Cambodia Label Same like that, wasn't it rediculouse?, and wasn't it represent hatreat and low approach to convince people? it dummy isn't it?
Please be open mind for some feed back, it cost you nothing to get to know more about what other see and feel about What SRP had been don so far, there are more biger braind out there than you are. If SRP or CPP both are as good as angels in heaven no one will wast time to oppose their wrong doing.
I just wanted all Ideas be fair in the media, then people will base their decision on the right caurse. Please understand people learn from the failure more than from the success, and as you Know if Sam rainsy he not chang his strategy, after 2013 election SRP will be weaker than Kem sokha, I think Sam rainsy he is good in economy that is what his professional trianed for. He may start from Minister of Economy and finance if, hun sen he allow that to happen please take it.
SRP group not strong enough to run the gov't, Sam rainsy himself not qualify for it yet, for him to be able to run the Gov't as you see Same, he must start to build his leadership skill now wasn't he?.Mike
if you want to know how fair am I please go to khmeriztaion blog I just post my new article there.
Now we should this monk together with Theary Seng, it would be a perfect match.
Theary will scream with pleasure as he mounts her spread eagle.
7:12 AM, also let your mother wear strap on so she fuck her own ass while you give your dad a blow job.
This is not true. Khmer people are so ignorant and judgmental. Take a look at Khmer history. We are the cause of our own people's death.
This monk is now back in Scambodia with Theary Seng. They are having a good time in bed. I heard Theary coming so many times.
you all busy with such ridiculousness article, you should compete your business for your daily life. make negotiate to do business, do not just judge with the crazy government to play game everyday. look at Chinese, my dear people !!! china has gone now, all grow up fast,economic,..relationship, and more things. why you just always with game of crazy government. you wanna work for other in the whole life? all problem onley Ah Hun Sen can solve, but unlucky he is crazy and the puppet of YOung( Kjom kahnJas YOung Dach Thlai)He will die soon, he will not win any more.
@ mike, you are right, your comment is use full to me.
Ah Por Venh is a Viet Cong and works for ah Hun Sen, but Khmer at Wat Khemararam and Ankor Choum are so ignorant; do not understand about what Viet will destroy our Khmer society, even in the United States. All of these people pray and respect to Viet Spy, like ah Por Venh.
These fake monks, in Wat Khemararam and Wat Angkor Chum, are comming to work for ah Tep Vong and ah Hun Sen CPP. All of us Khmer having good Brain should not go to these two Temple because these both Buddhist Temple are all having Viet Spy the same thing.
Let us face the reality here... monks are human just like us. Historically the love between the monks and women are not new - look at Tum & Tiev, and recently the case of Thach Berong in San Jose... I do not know if we have any evidences to prove that those monks are viet agents.
Yes, lets face the reality here! He is a real Viet Spy... If you don't Know, don't protect him.
Where is this happened? What state?
Stupid monk. He should have kept it quiet about the other woman, and keep fuking the 16yr girl. The girl is stupid to fall for the monk. Are there no guys that she falls for a bald head guy? Too bad.
SATHU! SATHU! SATHU!
12:21 PM, you are an idiot. The girl is under age, in the US we calling it statutory rape which is illegal. Unlike where you come from which is a norm to have sex with a little girl. You are one sick dud...you must be related to this monk.
Maybe she liked to be wrapped in the orange robe while fucking!
