Muslim Cleric Accused of Sodomizing Boy, 10

(New Delhi, India) A 21-year-old Muslim cleric at the madrassa of Kali Masjid in Hazrat Nizamuddin, Mohammad Shehzad, was arrested earlier today for allegedly sodomizing a 10-year-old boy. Shehzad began teaching at the madrassa two weeks ago.
The police said the boy could only muster the courage to tell his mother about the incident Thursday.

The boy’s mother along with few other locals then went to the madrassa and thrashed the cleric.
Shehzad was booked into jail.

I suspect the requirements to become a Muslim cleric are fairly lax. Presumably, and please realize that I am no expert, becoming a cleric simply requires someone to say, "I am a Muslim and a cleric." If people are inclined to follow the self-appointed cleric, then he is deemed an official cleric and recognized as such to the public.
