Founded by A. C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada in New York, what cult was accused of child abuse?

Hare Krishna was founded in New York by A. C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada in 1966. Although the movement as a whole isn't necessarily labeled as a cult, the counterculture of hippies in devotee communes worshipped their leaders as cult-like figures, with one particular commune in New Vrindaban turning the house they'd built for their founder into a memorial palace dedicated to him after he'd passed. As the movement spread to India over the next two decades, the ISKCON's boarding schools were accused of widespread child abuse, including beatings, denial of medical care, and sexual assault.
