A high-ranking Chinese monk has denied accusations he sexually harassed nuns and coerced them into sex by "controlling their minds".

Abbot Xuecheng's alleged actions were detailed in a report sent to government officials by two monks from Longquan temple where he is based.

The temple, in Beijing, has accused the monks of "distorting facts".

Xuecheng is the latest public figure to be accused of sexual misconduct as part of a growing #MeToo movement in China.

He is the head of the Buddhist Association of China, the youngest person to ever hold the position, and a political adviser to the government.

The abbot also has more than a million followers on Chinese social network Weibo.

“Longquan” (Wade Giles “Lung-ch’uan”) literally translates to “Dragon Spring”. Sounds like a malevolent spiritual influence emanating from there.

"Longquan temple is under his spell," said the report. "Xuecheng manipulated disciples to serve his 'Buddhist empire'."

“as part of a growing #MeToo movement in China.”

BBC couldn’t help adding the feminist crap into their reports.
