Robert Mikelsons was the man who abused at least 87 toddlers and babies while working in a daycare center. His boss at the time was Albert Drent. Mikelsons was recently sentenced to 18 years in prison followed up by involuntary commitment.

Dutch whistleblower website Klokkenluideronline.nl has now disclosed more information about this particular case and suggests ties between Robert Mikelsons, his boss Albert Drent and even a former prosecutor who recently was promoted to Advocate General, a Mr. Frits Van Straelen.

In summary:

1. Daycare center boss Albert Drent had been fired in 1995 when he was employed at a similar organization called Akrios, for ‘intolerable conduct’. A criminal complaint was filed against him but was changed into a ‘notification’
2. Drent then went on to set up daycare centers himself and organized ‘sleepover-parties’ for the children, where parents were not allowed
3. Already in 2003 and 2005 police investigators noticed suspicious behavior coming from Robert Mikelsons but were told to keep their mouths shut
4. In 2006 a mother at Drent’s Daycare center found semen on the clothes of her child which ended up costing her an 1,800 EUR fine as a result of the slanderous accusations
5. In 2008 two mothers notified Albert Drent that something was wrong with Robert Mikelsons. The Dutch public prosecutor’s office now argues that Albert Drent “handled that situation well at the time”
6. Sometime between 2010 and 2011 police investigators notified their superiors that they had found the phone number of – at the time – Amsterdam based public prosecutor Frits van Straelen in the black book of Richard van Olffen, Robert Mikelson’s partner, who allegedly also acted as a ‘party’ chauffeur. Again these investigators were told to keep their mouths shut. Frits van Straelen allegedly took a leave of absence for a few months as a result, only to return as an Advocate General at the Court of Amsterdam
7. Both Albert Drent and Akros, the organization that had fired him, both hired an expensive PR firm instructed to debunk any possible allegation
8. In an early stage the Dutch public prosecutor’s office makes clear it will not prosecute Albert Drent even though the abuse took place in his business, under his responsibility, while being fully aware of Mikelsons’ previous misconduct
9. In March 2012 Albert Drent is allowed ‘airtime’ to present himself as a victim. He also writes a book about his innocence
10. In March 2012 the Dutch Supreme Court takes away the rights of the parents of the abused children to speak up during the trial against Robert Mikelsons. This effectively prevents Albert Drent and others from becoming involved in the legal proceedings as the parents know full well who were involved and would have been able to make like difficult on the likes of Drent and others.

The site concludes by arguing that Dutch authorities have done their utmost to ‘contain’ this case and have it be limited to Robert Mikelsons and his partner while preventing any ‘overspill’.
