Previously, on March 21, 2023, aunt A (pseudonym) was a grade 6 student at a school in Hang Dong District.

It was said that after the arrest yesterday afternoon, officers immediately investigated and sent them into custody in the evening. Bail not granted during investigation for fear of tampering with the evidence
Most recently, today (March 24, 2023), reporters visited the temple area where the incident took place in Khun Kong Sub-District, Hang Dong District, and found villagers gathering to criticize the matter. The villagers say that this temple has around 60 households of faith, with the abbot of this temple remembering the temple in one image. In the past, I saw him as a dharma practitioner and took good care of the temple. but he accepted that the monk had some coquettish character but a kind person who loves children and gives scholarships to pay for studying But I didn’t think something like this would happen. I admit that I was very shocked by this incident. And can’t believe that the abbot will abuse children according to the news.
At the same time, the villagers admitted that this temple has two groups of faith, like and hate the abbot. Many parties were shocked by this story because the temple was supposed to celebrate its 45th anniversary on March 26, but the abbot was arrested first. He probably won’t be able to host the event.
While the reporter was talking to the villagers in front of the temple, a temple committee came on a motorcycle and was about to close the temple gate. Do not let anyone enter the temple. Causing the reporters who parked the car in the temple to run to take the car out of the temple to park elsewhere. Before the temple committee closed the door and banned anyone from entering the temple. which is now a deserted temple without a single monk A total of 27 children were looked after by the abbot, and the police have evidence of molestation and molestation of four girls, between 5 and 13 years old, some of them scared. The police had to take him to the psychiatric team to look after him closely as well.
