- The 46-year-old defendant admitted years of abuse largely during sleepovers, describing a compulsion and drugging girls with strong doses of sleep medication mixed into chocolate milk or Fristi.
- Investigators and the court detailed covert filming with a spy camera and a camera-pen hidden in places like a laundry basket and toiletry bag, as well as systematic archiving by victim and date.
- The case file includes abuse of the suspect’s own daughter from infancy and DNA traces on victims’ clothing, with most identified victims aged roughly 9 to 12 at the time.
- Psychiatric experts from the Pieter Baan Centrum report disorders and a high risk of reoffending, advising tbs with compulsory treatment as the six-day trial continues in Rotterdam.
