Reports that a British tourist was allegedly raped by a teenage monk in Cambodia are being investigated by the Foreign Office.

Police in the south-east Asian country arrested the Buddhist monk after the 39-year-old woman told officers he attacked her while guiding her to a mountain-top temple.

According to reports, novice monk Thorn Sophoan, 17, confessed to police in Battambang province in north-western Cambodia.
