Theravada Buddhism does not allow an inquiry whether this boy had been sexually abused by this monk on the pretext it brings a bad name to this already notorious sangha. This is also the reason that the Sinhalese form of Buddhism has lost its place in the world of true Buddhism.

Child protection agencies should organize a proper counseling for the boy. Hope he wasnt molested.
