Overview
- The Amsterdam court, which held a second preliminary hearing Tuesday, ordered his admission to the Pieter Baan Centrum, a justice clinic that evaluates a suspect’s mental state.
- He is suspected of attempting to rape a 2-year-old at an Amsterdam daycare, molesting a 13-year-old in his care, and creating sexual images of a baby and a 3-year-old, plus possession of a baby sex doll that Dutch law bans.
- Prosecutors said at least 13 children are in the case and plan to expand the indictment as they identify more offences.
- The Public Prosecution Service confirmed he has a criminal record in the United Kingdom, and the court asked for an official extract to add to the file.
- Investigators scheduled more interviews for late May and early June, expect to finish the probe by mid-June, and flagged possible dementia as the clinic assesses his responsibility, with the next hearing set for August 5.
