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).
