Sexual abuse in youth care institutions is almost never reported or investigated, AD reports. The newspaper investigated several recent cases of young people being raped or otherwise sexually abused under the care of youth care. In none of these cases were the police called or the victim taken to a Sexual Violence Center for investigation and to secure evidence.
A 39-year-old Colombian man, convicted in his own country of violently raping a 4-year-old girl, was arrested in The Hague on Tuesday. He had been staying there for some time, and the Dutch police arrested him after the families of two other toddlers pressed child sex abuse charges against him, De Telegraaf reports.
