Thailand Child-Sex Ring Run By Monk Busted in Chiang Mai

A duo of Buddhist monk and a private citizen have been accused of pandering to paedolphiles in Chiang Mai, running a child-sex ring. The monk would apparently go out into the hinterland, in mufti, to procure young boys, who were then brought back to the city, seduced and provided for the delectation of foreign perverts.

Chiang Mai, April 3, 2010, [PDN]: Chiang Mai is currently suffering a surfeit of paedolphiles and others of a similar disposition, according to the city authorities, so much so that police have announced their avowed intent to stamp out the menace. A Department of Special Investigation (DSI) source recently revealed the existence of a child-sex ring organized by a wayward monk and a layman; the two subsequently having been prosecuted along with one of their British clients.

The two, Phra Vissanu Tejdhammo of Wat Pa Lan and Surasak Keawman, 51, have been arrested, charged with sexually exploiting children. The monk apparently was wont to venture out into the territory of the hill tribe villages in Chiang Mai and neighbouring provinces, without his robes. Finding suitable victims, largely young boys, the monk would entice them, perhaps using the ploys described below, and then, having beguiled the poor innocents take them back to Chiang Mai where Keawman would sexually seduce them; softening them up, so to speak, before farming them out to foreign paedophiles, who had come to Thailand for that specific purpose.
