Baarn Music Teacher Jailed for Abuse as Urk Educator Is Remanded in Separate Grooming Probe

The Baarn verdict imposes strict safeguards as prosecutors in Urk pursue a new grooming investigation with limited disclosures.

Overview

  • A 61-year-old music teacher from Baarn was sentenced to four years in prison for sexual acts with minors and for producing child pornography.
  • Court records show eleven girls and young women reported abuse spanning roughly eight years, much of it filmed in the teacher’s home studio.
  • Judges imposed an eight-year teaching ban, a contact ban with victims, mandatory treatment during a ten-year probation period, and long-term supervision after release.
  • In a separate case, a teacher at a reformational school in Urk was arrested on suspicion of prolonged sexual acts with a minor and suspected grooming.
  • Prosecutors say the Urk suspect will remain in custody for fourteen days as the early-stage investigation continues, with the possibility that additional victims may come forward.
