Post by CEOCambodiaNews »

In fact, a monk at Wat Isy Kiri Chum, also known as Wat Trapeang Russey, in Toek Laak commune, Kong Pisey district, Kampong Speu province, was expelled from the pagoda by Buddhists, after it was revealed that he had raped a woman until she became pregnant and then threatened to abort her.

On July 6, 2022, authorities therefore arrested a 41-year-old monk named Mao Sieu Bothanon, who was defrocked and cast out from Wat Damnak Trach in Phnom Sruoch district, Kampong Speu province, in compliance with the Cambodian laws on religious behavior.
