Phra Vissanu Tejdhammo of Wat Pa Lan and layman Surasak Kaewman (51) each face 6 charges of sex abuse and taking children away from the control of their parents.

‘Pattaya Daily News’ reported today that police say the monk, while dressed as a layman, would attract children from hilltribe villages and take them to Kaewman’s house in the city. There, Kaewman seduced them before introducing them to clients.

Police say that the monk’s handphone has images of Kaewman having sex with boys, 6 of whom were found in his house when he was arrested. Also found in the house was a baseball bat, electric prod and condoms.
