Pagoda Chief Defrocked for Defrocking Woman
The chief of a pagoda in Pailin province’s Sala Krau district was defrocked and expelled by the head of provincial Buddhist monks on Saturday for allegedly bringing a woman to the pagoda to have sex with him, police said yesterday.
The formerly venerable monk was identified as Heng Vanthy, 47, the pagoda chief at Wat Seimaram located in O-Chheu Krom village in Sala Krau district’s Stung Kach commune, according to deputy district police chief Captain Seng Bunthoeun.
“He was defrocked because he violated Buddhist rules,” he told Khmer Times yesterday.
“He had a secret love affair with a woman for more than four years in the province and has a four-year-old son.
“He brought his son to be with him in the monkhood and stay at the pagoda,” he said.
“He often brought her to stay with him at the pagoda as well.”
