[Regnum] A 35-year-old woman suspected of seducing Buddhist monks and extorting money has been arrested in Thailand. This was reported on July 16 by AP News.
Investigators believe that Vilawan Emsawat deliberately entered into close relationships with Buddhist monks, violating their monastic vows, and then blackmailed the clergy by threatening to make these stories public.
It was established that at least nine high-ranking monks were defrocked because of the scandal. The investigation was prompted by the confession of the abbot of one of the temples: he left the monastic order after Vilavan threatened to reveal the fact of their affair and demanded 7.2 million baht (about 17.3 million rubles) under the pretext of pregnancy.
According to police, the woman received transfers from the monasteries totaling about 385 million baht (about 924 million rubles) over three years. These funds were allegedly spent on gambling.
The woman has been charged with extortion, money laundering and possession of stolen goods. The country's authorities have announced their intention to strengthen financial control over temples and create a mechanism to monitor the behavior of monks.
Earlier, Sindonews reported that a well-known Buddhist monk, former chairman of the Buddhist Association of the People's Republic of China Shi Xuecheng, was removed from office in China. The reason was accusations of sexual and financial violations. According to investigators, the accused sexually abused nuns, explaining this as a supposed religious practice. Shi Xuecheng denied his guilt, calling the accusations falsified.
