Why not prosecute the monks?

The Herald reports:

Women should be prosecuted for having sex with monks, Thai politicians have proposed, after a nationwide scandal over an alleged “blackmailing seductress”.

At least nine monks have been disrobed for allegedly having sex with a woman accused of subsequently extorting them for millions.

A committee in the Senate has proposed amending the law to allow for the criminal prosecution of women who engage in sexual relations with monks.

The women are not the ones who take vows of chastity. Consensual sexual relations should rarely be criminalised, and if they are it should be the person breaching some duty of care. Prosecuting women who sleep with monks is like prosecuting students who sleep with their teachers!
