Nepal jails 'Buddha boy' for 10 years over child sex abuse

[Sanjeev]

Ram Bahadur Bomjan, also known as "Buddha boy" among his believers, rose to fame as a teenager after admirers said he could remain motionless for months without drink, food, or sleep.

He was convicted of child sexual molestation last week by a court in Sarlahi, Nepal's southern town. "He has been sentenced to 10 years in jail," Sadan Adhikari, registrar of the district court, told AFP. Bomjan was also fined 500,000 Nepalese rupees ($3,743).

Men and sexual molestation is 5 and 6. They are just indiscipline when it comes to sexual activities

I think you are wrong here. We have men who are disciplined and don't chase whatever is in skirts. Please, don't generalize men. We have men who are religious, spiritually minded.

I think he deserved more than 10 years in prison if he is actually guilty of the offence. Though most people use sexual harassment to get even at a celebrity.

Well @magnus2022 let me rephrase that some men because I know this. Some men are not trying when it comes to morals.

Such religious people who do such heinous crime should get death sentence.

These people hide under the cloak of religion and commit illicit crimes and always don't get apprehended most times.

That's the problem everywhere. Such people get away easily. There are lots of Babas here who assault women physically and are not caught

They should never be allowed to go scot free if they can commit the crime. Let they should be mare to pay for it.

He has not learned what he had sacrificed as a Buddha boy. His effort turned useless and now he landed in jail. What a shame.
