A senior Buddhist monk has been indicted for allegedly videotaping sexual intercourse with his lover – without her consent - at a temple.





The Uijeongbu District Prosecutors' Office said Thursday the monk, 64, installed several cameras in the ceiling of the main prayer room and his residence room in the temple in Gyeonggi Province to record sex with a 40-something female Buddhist believer between 2009 and 2011.





The woman learned about the videotaping during a wrangle that led to their split. Feeling ashamed, she filed a petition with the prosecution, calling for him to be charged with defamation and illegal videotaping.





She recently dropped her complaint over defamation, but the monk was indicted for the unauthorized videotaping of their sex.
