Overview
- At the Court of Appeal in Amsterdam, the Public Prosecution Service asked for a 2.5-year sentence as it delivered its closing argument in Ali B’s rape case.
- Prosecutors argued for added convictions for the sexual assault of Naomi and singer Jill Helena.
- In a separate request, they said the incident involving performer Ellen ten Damme should be treated as rape rather than an attempted rape.
- A person emailed the court offering to testify about a 2018 phone call with Naomi, but prosecutors said this was not needed because the account is already largely known.
- The lower court in Haarlem in 2024 imposed a two-year term and issued some acquittals, both sides appealed, and the appellate verdict is scheduled for 7 May.
