Child sex abuse charges
Punnananda appeared before Colombo Magistrates Court on 18 March 2011 after admitting he had sexually abused five underage novice Buddhist monks under his care.[1][2] Two of Punnananda's alleged victims gave evidence to the magistrate who has ordered the police to produce the other three alleged victims before the court. The magistrate also ordered the police to investigate whether other underage novice monks were abused in the Budhhist temple where Punnananda is the chief incumbent. Punnananda is on bail

gollark: I don't know how to actually implement the thing it says about identifying things uniquely by "a sequence of numbers which says where to turn at each intersection", since it seems like you'd need a way to convert them into a unique/canonical form for that to actually work.
gollark: I looked at that, yes.
gollark: I just picked it several years ago because it looked cool.
gollark: Maybe I should clarify, I mean that the rooms are the cells (quadrilaterals) in this, not the vertices.
