The public prosecutor accuses Enkhuizen's Winston A., suspect in an extensive vice case in which hundreds of boys were allegedly seduced into sexual acts in front of the camera, of raping a 13-year-old boy several times. This emerged Monday at the first public hearing in the criminal case against the 27-year-old A. at the court in Alkmaar.
The man denies that there was any coercion. According to the prosecution, A. wore a balaclava during the rape. Justice further suspects A. of making and possessing child pornography. Justice is looking at the most serious cases, the prosecution says. In addition to the rape, the prosecution also suspects A. of two cases of sexual abuse.
There are currently 10 charges pending. Six victims have yet to be contacted. Police are also still looking for a victim who was allegedly abused by A. in a locker room.

▫️Dutchman arrested who made money from chat groups with nude photos and data on Telegram

A 35-year-old Dutchman has been arrested in Belgium for managing so-called expose groups on Telegram. In those chat groups, nude photos of girls are shared without their consent, reports the Belgian Public Prosecutor's Office (OM). The man earned money by charging users a fee to join the channels. Tens of thousands of people took advantage of that.
The prosecutor's investigation revealed several expose groups on Telegram that were linked to each other. The groups' administrators encouraged members to share images of victims, also putting their identity and contact information.
So not only did the victims see their photos appear unwanted, but their personal information was also made public against their will.

▫️Sikh priest jailed for 24 years in child sex case

A Sikh priest who admitted sexually assaulting children in the 1980s has been jailed for more than 24 years.
The incidents took place in Hitchin, Hertfordshire, between 1983 and 1987, including at a gurdwara, a Sikh place of worship. Makhan Singh Mauji, of North Priors Court, Northampton, was a Granthi – a ceremonial reader of the Guru Granth Sahib – who would “invade the lives” of his victims, police said.
The 71-year-old pleaded guilty to a string of sexual offences during a trial at Cambridge Crown Court, where he was sentenced on Friday. Judge Hurst said Mauji had inflicted “deep emotional scars using a significant breach of trust”, and the sentence reflected the severity of his crimes.
The offences involved three victims who were aged between eight and 14 at the time.

A former detective who uncovered police failings in investigating grooming gangs has said Sir Keir Starmer is “perhaps as guilty as anyone” over the failure to bring about change.
Whistleblower Maggie Oliver, who resigned from Greater Manchester Police (GMP) in 2012, on Friday criticised previous inquiries into the scandal and called for an independent investigation and “criminal accountability” for public officials and police who “turned a blind eye”.
It came after Elon Musk claimed the Prime Minister failed to bring “rape gangs” to justice when he was director of public prosecutions (DPP) between 2008 and 2013.
