Overview
- The Hague Court of Appeal gave Julien M. 15 years in prison plus TBS for the 2022 killing of his ex-partner in Rotterdam, revising an earlier 17-year term that lacked compulsory treatment.
- Judges said releasing him untreated would be unsafe after he refused evaluation at the Pieter Baan Centre, where experts reported strong indications of a personality disorder.
- A 42-year-old from Eindhoven, Maarten T., was sentenced to five years and TBS with coercive care for prolonged online sexual abuse of girls under 16, as the OM acknowledged investigative failures that delayed his identification.
- The Den Bosch appeals court imposed three years on a 42-year-old from Sint-Annaland for raping his children’s underage babysitter in Kruiningen between 2018 and 2020, rejecting his claim of a consensual relationship.
- Elsewhere, the Arnhem appeals court gave a 41-year-old from Almere one year for extortion after posing as a 14-year-old on a chatsite, and Rotterdam police arrested a 27-year-old suspected of a violent sexual assault at the city’s main station.
