Not only the general public but even monks are also not behind in outraging the modesty of women in Asian countries. A Buddhist monk has been arrested for allegedly raping a British tourist in Cambodia. The 39-year-old British women was raped in Battambang province in the north west of Cambodia.

The Buddhist monk raped her when he was guiding the British woman to see caves on the top of Phnom Sam Pov mountains and later he allegedly confessed to the crime.

Nowadays Buddhist monks in Cambodia like priest in touristic places in India are frequently accused of sexual assaults. In a similar incident in January a monk was arrested and defrocked for allegedly molesting an 8-year-old French girl at the famous Angkor ruins.

There is a big problem of fake monks and gurus who deceive the public into giving alms or disguise themselves as holy men.

Many young Cambodians and Indians become monks and gurus without necessarily devoting their lives to serve the humanity.
