Open Letter to the ISKCON Child Protection Office
As you know, Vakresvara Pandit das, who is both famous and infamous as a kirtan leader and in other roles in ISKCON, was found by an ISKCON Child Protection Office ("CPO") Committee to have been guilty of numerous sexual molestations of a female child over a period of about one year in or around 1993. The finding of guilt was stated in a CPO Official Decision dated July 26, 2002, and was affirmed by a CPO Appeal Panel ("AP") decision dated June 8, 2005. In the state with jurisdiction over these crimes, the sexual molestation of a child constitutes "aggravated sexual assault," and "indecency with a minor," each of which are felonies in the first and second degree, respectively. The criminals who are found by the State to be guilty of these crimes routinely die in prison. The findings of the CPO reveal Vakresvara Pandit das ("VPd") as a sexual "predator," as described by one criminal defense attorney
