Seven novice monks in Bangkok temple accuse senior monks of sexual abuse, seeking help from Pavena Foundation for Children and Women. Allegations involve two senior monks acting as mentors who are accused of sexual assault. Parents bring four more novices claiming they were victims of the same suspects, who were arrested by AHTD. Abuse lasted approximately two years and eight months, with some novices afraid to resist. Ms. Pavena commends AHTD for their work and plans to support affected novices with educational placement, psychological support, and compensation. Investigations ongoing until legal process is complete.
