The suspect arrested on charges of sexually abusing underage boys had been identified as a set designer for a children’s reality show on television in addition to being an English teacher.
The 54-year-old suspect, Nirantha Edirisinghe, was arrested by the Kollupitiya Police following a tip-off that underage boys were being sexually abused.

As usual in Sri Lanka, the "abused" would become the culprits and the "abuser" innocent.

Life imprisonment; nothing less. Otherwise, he will continue to abuse when released. Such leopards rarely change their spots.

Please see there are no children anywhere near the remand prison. He needs to be named and shamed.

In all top private school hostels, young boys are sexually molested by senior students and sometimes by hostel masters who are also teachers.This has been going on for decades. But no one cries “ shocking”, why ?

What is new, when a prominent politician is a known pedophile and everyone ignores his perverted actions.
