A Buddhist monk at an Orange County temple is accused of sexually assaulting two women when they were just little girls.A Buddhist monk in Orange County is accused of sexually assaulting two women when they were just little girls. The women say they want the public to know about the suffering they've been enduring for years.
She and her friend, Tina Le, sued the Meditation Institute of the United States of Bat Nha America in Santa Ana, known as the Bat Nha Buddhist Temple, and one of its monks, Thich Nguyen Tri. The women said around 1997 through 2008, Nguyen Tri groomed them with candy and praised their behavior and looks. Uncomfortable hugs turned into the suspect looking for ways to get them alone, they said.
"'Don't take it like it's anything bad. You should think of it as an opportunity to be close to someone so high,'" Nguyen remembered her mother telling her.Years later as an adult, Le sought closure and spoke out. She discovered at least four other women had similar accusations, including Nguyen. In 2017, the women pursued a criminal case against Nguyen Tri with the Santa Ana Police Department. The department filed charges with the Orange County District Attorney's Office, but according to an OCDA spokesperson, the case was rejected because of insufficient evidence.
