Posted: 2011/09/07 in Education / Awareness, Enforcement, JurisprudenceChild abuse scandals in The Netherlands reach new height. Criminal complaints filed against Secretary General of Justice Department Mr. Joris Demmink in relation to the abuse of three Turkish teenagers
Posted: 2011/09/07 in Education / Awareness, Enforcement, LitigationWhile the Robert Mikelsons investigations are still ongoing, the Dutch media are reporting that criminal complaints have been filed against the Secretary General of the Dutch Ministry of Justice Mr. Joris Demmink. He’s being accused of having abused three Turkish teenagers among which one individual who at the time was 12 years of age.
Mr. Demmink has been accused of various child abuse related incidents, resulting in a slew of dedicated blogs and websites, even catching the attention of hacker group Anonymous, but time and again the accusations were being rejected or ignored by prosecution authorities. The current accusations are different in the fact that it’s being claimed that the Turkish police would have beaten and mistreated the children before forcing them to visit the Secretary General at his hotel room where he would have raped them. The complaints have been filed by the alleged victims themselves.
Ernst Koelman of the Dutch Public Prosecutor’s office stated that “It’s new that we now have a criminal complaint filed directly. We will have a look at that now. It is not yet a formal criminal prosecution.”
