Melbourne: A doctor named Pradeep Dissanayake took advantage of his position as a cult leader to abuse children. It’s just horrifying.
He was sentenced to nearly 11 years in prison after a court found his original sentence was way too lenient. This guy was preaching a mix of Buddhism and Christianity, and over time, he turned it into a cult.
He had some pretty strict rules for his followers, like needing to praise him every hour and only living with the same gender. It’s wild how he manipulated them.
Over several months, he used his power to sexually assault two kids. He even pleaded guilty to multiple charges, but he tried to justify his actions by claiming it was all part of his religious teachings.
In court, the judges were clear: they didn’t buy his excuses. They said his behavior was predatory and disgusting. He’ll be eligible for parole after serving eight years, but it’s hard to believe he’ll ever really change.
His medical license was suspended once the health authorities found out about his charges. It’s a relief to know he won’t be practicing medicine again.
