One of world’s most senior Buddhist monks arrested over alleged rape of girl in Sri Lanka

Sri Lankan police have arrested one of the country's highest-rankingBuddhistmonksfor allegedly sexually assaulting an 11-year-old girl.

Pallegama Hemarathana Thero, the 71-year-old custodian of eight sacred sites inSri Lanka, was arrested on Saturday at a private hospital in the capital Colombo.

He was remanded to prison on charges of repeated rape and sexual assault of a minor in 2022 in a temple in Anuradhapura. He is the chief priest of Anuradhapura – a Unesco world heritage site located around 200km north of Colombo.

The mother of the survivor, now aged 15, has also been arrested for allegedly abetting the abuse, according toDaily News Sri Lanka.

“We will be guided by the magistrate on further action,” a police statement said. Anuradhapura chief magistrate Siyapath Sasidu Wickramaratne said the monk would be transferred to the Colombo prison hospital.

Pallegama Hemarathana has yet to comment publicly on the allegations, and will make his first court appearance on Tuesday.

The magistrate also handed the monk a travel ban after child protection authorities alleged there had been delays in securing his arrest.

The allegations came to light after a complaint was lodged with the local police on 6 March about the alleged abduction and detention of a minor. Police arrested a suspect and placed the girl in a care centre, where interviews later uncovered allegations of prolongedsexual abuse.

There have been several historic cases of children being abused by clergy in Sri Lanka, but Hemarathana is the highest-ranking monk to face such allegations.

The monk is the chief custodian of a sacred tree believed to have grown from a sapling of the Bodhi tree under which the Buddha attained enlightenment more than 2,500 years ago.

Reform accused of failing to condemn ‘clear racism’ after councillor’s ‘Nigerians should fill pot holes’ remark

Reform UKis facing intense scrutiny and accusations of failing to “call out clear racism" after its deputy leader declined to explicitly condemn remarks reportedly made by a newly elected councillor.

Glenn Gibbins, who was elected as a Reform councillor in Sunderland in this week’s local elections, posted on social media in 2024, complaining about the "amount of Nigerians in town".

"Should melt them all down and fill in the pot holes!!" he wrote in a later-deleted post, according to campaign group Hope Not Hate.

Reform deputy leader Richard Tice refused to directly criticise Mr Gibbins on Sunday, instead accusing the media of "smearing"Nigel Farage’s party.

When pressed on whether he was comfortable with such views representing the party, Mr Tice told the BBC’sSunday With Laura Kuenssbergprogramme: "This weekend we are celebrating our incredible successes. Like any party, we have internal party processes to look where people have said or done the wrong thing."

He added: "I condemn everything that is wrong and inappropriate. Voters have heard all of this smearing and this sneering against all of us, and they have voted for more Reform."

Education Secretary Bridget Phillipson, appearing on the same programme, described the incident as an example of "the kind of racism and division" Reform introduces into politics.

A Labour Party spokesperson went further, stating: "It’s utterly grotesque that Reform can’t even call out clear racism. It speaks volumes that Richard Tice tried to brush off these comments. And it speaks volumes that Nigel Farage refused to sack him as a candidate and is now happy to have him represent Reform as a councillor.

“They’re both a disgrace. Labour is the only party that will stand up to the division of Reform."

Tice was also asked on Sunday’s show about the previously undeclared £5 million gift that Nigel Farage received from a party donor, and appeared unable to confirm the Reform leader did not use any of the money for campaigning.

Jack Endries fast facts: A sleeper gem rookie weapon for Joe Burrow?

Ourdraft-pick introductory seriesrolls on as we enter the seventh round for theCincinnati Bengals, where they made two selections. The featured player here: Texas tight end Jack Endries, pick No. 221 overall for theBengals.

As always,Dane Brugler's The Beastwill help guide the creation of this article and these facts.

Has caught passes from at least No. 1 overall pick, potentially two

Before Endries made it to Austin to join the Longhorns in 2025, he spent the first three years of his college career at California. His quarterback those three years? Some guy named Fernando Mendoza. The one who transferred to Indiana and gave the Hoosiers one of the greatest seasons in school history. The one who won the Heisman Trophy, went 16-0 and won the National Championship. The one who just went No. 1 overall in the 2026 NFL Draft and is now the future of the Las Vegas Raiders.

But Mendoza may not be the only No. 1 pick Endries catches passes from. His current quarterback, Texas' Arch Manning, is the current favorite to be the No. 1 pick in the 2027 NFL Draft. Endries totaled 91 receptions for 1,030 yards and four touchdowns in two playing seasons at Cal with Mendoza. He posted 33 receptions for 346 yards and three touchdowns last season with Manning at Texas.

Fantasy football helped Endries get into football

Football wasn't always Endries' No. 1 sport. He grew up playing soccer, swimming, and baseball. He didn't get into football until high school. The reason he got into football? His friends were playing fantasy football. Matthew Berry would be proud.

His sophomore season was in 2019. That was the year New Orleans Saints' wide receiver Michael Thomas went on a tear, catching 149 passes for 1,725 yards and nine touchdowns. Hopefully, Endries had Thomas on his team.

Received recruiting help from fellow alum Zach Ertz

Endries attended Monte Vista High School in Danville, California (about 30 miles from San Francisco). Among the alumni of Monte Vista are linebacker Nate Landman, quarterback Jake Haener and longtime tight end and Super Bowl champion Zach Ertz.

Ertz ended up playing a role in getting Endries recruited in college. The 3-time Pro Bowl selection shared Endries' highlights on social media. That helped Endries receive offers from Colorado State, San Jose State, and UNLV as well as seven Ivy League schools. That was in addition to the offer he already had from Fresno State. Endries ultimately committed as a preferred walk-on to Cal and eventually received a scholarship.

200 years of sacrifice: Rochester firefighters who died in the line of duty

In the Rochester Fire Department’s history that dates back more than two centuries, more than 65 firefighters have died in the line of duty. Some were killed battling fires — crushed by collapsing walls or chimneys, or falling from ladders. Others died in crashes while responding to emergencies.

Zendaya wore theVersace Crêpe Marocaine Silk Midi Dress. The cream-colored dress featured a deep V-neckline and draped, sculptural shoulders. The fabric’s soft sheen and fluid movement contrasted with the structured, theatrical elements of her accessories. According to the official description, the dress has a plunging back and a bow detail at the back.

The most dramatic accessory was the white headpiece from the Warner Bros. collection. This piece, adorned with sprawling white plumes and an intricate, jeweled motif, added a showgirl flair to her look. The bold jewelry selection grounded the vintage-inspired drama of the upper half. She was wearing a statement necklace and rings from Carreray Carrera, along with an additional ring by Prasi.

Meanwhile, the lower half of her look took a sensual turn, as she sported black Wolford tights with lace-trimmed stay-ups. The sheer tights acted as a bridge to theChristian Louboutin Doria 100 crystal-embellished suede pumpson her feet. The pointed-toe pumps featured a shimmering diamond-patterned embellishment and the brand’s iconic red soles.

The “Spider-Man: No Way Home” star’s glam complemented her ensemble with a bold, moody color palette. Her makeup included deep burgundy lips and dramatic blue eyeshadow. Further, she wore her hair in a vintage-style finger-wave hairstyle. The photo captured her in profile while she crouched on the dark hardwood floor. In another picture, she paired the same tights and shoes with a sheer Schiaparelli dress and a black Piers Atkinson headpiece. For this look, she opted for Chopard rings and earrings.
