Arrest of Suspect in Sexual Offense Case in Schagen

Gebied: Schagen

The sexual crimes police arrested a 56-year-old man from Schagen on Monday, February 24, on suspicion of committing sexual abuse against at least five underage employees. We have received reports from multiple victims. We urge victims who have not yet reported to do so. This can be done by calling the police at 0900-8844.

The suspect was presented to the examining magistrate on Thursday, February 27, who decided to extend the pre-trial detention by 14 days. The suspect is therefore in custody.

The investigation by the sexual crimes police is ongoing. A total of five individuals have filed reports, and more reports are not excluded.
