The suspect was featured twice on the regional investigative program Bureau Hengeveld. The first time, the suspect was shown unrecognizably to give him a chance to come forward. On Wednesday, January 28, the suspect was shown again, this time recognizably. This ultimately led to the arrest.
After the broadcast, we received several tips. Thanks to these tips, we know who this man is. He is a 61-year-old man from Nieuwegein. The man was arrested yesterday, Wednesday, February 4. We want to thank everyone for their cooperation.
On January 12, around 10:20 AM, the victim boarded a bus at Utrecht Central Station. It was crowded, so she had to remain standing. A man stood closely behind her. During the bus ride, this man grabbed her and touched her legs and buttocks under her long coat. Because the suspect held the victim firmly, she could not move. He repeatedly touched her against her will until she was finally able to get off the bus.
