“OM is responsible for suicides Valkenburgse manners matter ‘- Tarumba!

In the Valkenburg manners matter where dozens of men had sex against payment with a 16-year-old girl, the prosecution implied that police would come home or at work at suspects. Monday night killed a second suspected suicide. May increase as the OM the pressure? The opinions in a row.

“That it might affect their marriage or relationship, because I do not mind,” said prosecutor David Kuppeveld during a first session of the manners matter. “These men had sex with a minor fee. It is a criminal offense and I’m not going to help to keep it secret. ”

Today said the OM regrettable that “an oversimplified picture has emerged” about their methods. “From the beginning suspects called by the police and invited for questioning and always has been,” said press officer Martina Blijker, who notes that the focus now has shifted and once again stressed that it is a very serious moral matter. How the misunderstanding arose later investigated. The prosecution also announced assistance to intensify the suspects following the second suicide.

“The threat that police anytime on the sidewalk could assist defendants, was careless, unnecessary and unworthy of the OM. Prosecutor Kuppeveld said during the first hearing that “these men had sex with a minor fee. At those words, you see that the suspects in this case from one moment to be portrayed as perpetrators. It apparently does not even matter if someone is found guilty.

“Hard, harder, hardest is the trend in the Netherlands, especially when it comes to sexual matters. Suspects morals be enough condemned who have not really again be nailed to the pillory. A prosecutor who calls something does that for the stage, because the scores. Kuppeveld heroic tells us that it fits on the children and receives high praise. Meanwhile, the sentences in these cases exactly the same.

“That the OM men suddenly offering help I might like to admit it the worst. First unnecessarily increase the pressure, anxiety and cause panic and then a treatment program creation. It would adorn the prosecution as an inquiry. About debt, I would not speak, but they wear anyway responsibility. “

‘The suicide of these men, however dramatic also is certainly not the responsibility of the Public Prosecutor. All these woes began with the men, who have taken the risk to do something illegal. This is enforced prostitution, we should not forget. If you weigh the interests, the importance of an underage girl raped dozens of times is always to outweigh the privacy of these men.

“By the statements of the prosecutor have a lot of prostitution customers are reported and that is a good thing. Customers are a very important link in the opsoren forced prositutie, they are one of the few that can detect signals from exploitation close. They should not just look away. The Prosecution just wanted to send a signal that this is no good. Now they scared of the consequences and offer assistance to, that seems good.

Perhaps the Prosecution could’ve been a little more careful. Can say that they would not come immediately, but only when someone fails to report at the police station after several other attempts. As a last resort I find suspects at home or visit at work certainly legitimate. You should do what you can to track down the culprits. “

Psychic pressure boosting, interests that people are so great risking, this is a witch hunt

“I have the conduct of the prosecutor called reprehensible and I stand by. I am talking mainly about the tone that one has used initially.

“They said we are going to pick up people at home and prosecution, we will not keep your secret, like your wife opens that is not our problem. But they handled it very different in practice. They just called and asked if people came around the desk. So you see that they themselves have backed down after those big words. You hear not only a family and a life to turn upside down, to sow panic and fear, and then do something completely different. People are still not required to contribute to their own condemnation and hear therefore not to be forced there. Psychological pressure boosting, interests that people are so great turn on the game, which is a witch hunt.

“It’s going too far to say that the threat of the OM was the only reason for the suicides, since we do not know how these men were in their shoes. But if it is not the main reason, it certainly played with. My clients say that they understand that these men under these pressures have reacted so. I would find it strange if the prosecution says that their threats and these suicides are not linked ‘
