Overview
- The 54-year-old Borger-Odoorn suspect told an Assen court he had sex with a 16-year-old but claimed it was consensual, a version the prosecution disputes.
- Prosecutors say he locked the car doors during the May 21 incident and that his phone contained images he made of the teenager and sexual chats with four other girls around sixteen.
- The judge kept him in custody pending a December 15 substantive hearing and noted no psychiatric assessment has been done as a probation report is still forthcoming.
- In the separate Zoetermeer case, a 57-year-old school janitor is suspected of indecently touching at least three girls, with five victims identified and some images recorded on school grounds.
- Police seized hundreds of thousands of photos and videos from the janitor, no images of boys have been found so far, and a November 28 preparatory hearing will address extending his detention.
