His pleading has been answered by the Dutch minister Ivo Opstelten of Security and Justice who said in the parliament that he will make ‘every effort’ to tackle child sex tourism. Together with his colleague Rosenthal of Foreign Affairs Opstelten will make a plan what the Netherlands internationally can do to prevent Dutch pedophiles abusing children over the border. First of all they want to find out how many exit visas for high-risk countries such as Cambodia have been granted.
Orphanage
The 38-year-old Dutch suspect who was arrested in Cambodia was director of an orphanage. He is under suspicion of sexual abuse of five minor children. The Cambodian authorities were not informed about the criminal history of the man in the Netherlands. Terre des Hommes strongly favors that in cases like these the Dutch embassy gives all necessary information to police and justice in the country where a Dutch pedophile has been arrested. “This is not the first case of a Dutch pedophile abusing children abroad. A good exchange of information between countries is a prerequisite to successfully prosecute suspects of sex offenses against children,” said Terre des Hommes-director Albert Jaap van Santbrink.
