Dutch Arrest Suspected Serial Child Molester

Published December 12, 2010 | Associated Press


AMSTERDAM -- Amsterdam police called for the public to provide information on a possible child pornography ring Monday after a teacher was arrested on suspicion of molesting dozens of very young children.

The 27-year-old suspect in the Amsterdam case worked as a substitute teacher for at least two preschools in the city and also offered baby-sitting services online in what is feared to be one of the worst cases of sexual abuse in the Netherlands, the city's mayor said at a late-night press conference Sunday.

Eberhard van der Laan said more than 50 parents had been informed that the suspect arrested last week after a tip from U.S. authorities has either confessed to abusing their children, or was thought to have done so.

"This is about a serious suspicion of grave abuse by a man who was arrested Tuesday and has been held since then," Van der Laan said at a news conference with the city's police commissioner and chief prosecutor.

"I see it as my most important job to inform parents as well as I possibly can," he added.

Joannes Thuy, a spokesman for European law enforcement cooperation agency Eurojust, declined comment on whether the tip-off was linked to an ongoing international investigation into the sexual abuse of minors and the production and distribution of child abuse images.

The agency said in an email Monday that a worldwide pedophile network has been uncovered as a result of the efforts of the countries involved, offenders have been arrested and numerous victims have been rescued.

Eurojust said two separate news conferences are planned in Los Angeles, California, and The Hague, Netherlands, this week to announce developments in the investigation which has been running since 2008.

The suspect in the Amsterdam case was arrested Dec. 7 after a Dutch police television program aired what it said was an image of an unidentified victim of child pornography.

U.S. authorities seized the image in a separate investigation and told their Dutch counterparts it was made in the Netherlands, chief prosecutor Herman Bolhaar said.

The victim's parents identified their child from the television image and called police, leading to the suspect's arrest the same night, Bolhaar said.

The man's computers containing child pornography were seized and he has since confessed to dozens of sex crimes allegedly committed over the past year and a half, Bolhaar said.

The victims were boys and girls under four years old, he added.

Amsterdam police spokesman Rob van der Veen said Monday police were still seeking more witnesses and information in the ongoing investigation, with more arrests possible.

Mayor Van der Laan urged media not to publish photographs of the children possibly affected, and to be reserved in contacting their parents.

Police identified the suspect as a Dutch citizen originally from Riga, Latvia, and also published his photo — an unusual step, as privacy laws usually prevent publication of photographs of suspects in the Netherlands.

Van der Laan said that the photo had been released in part to reassure the thousands of parents in Amsterdam whose children were not affected.

"At the same time we want to alert others that it indeed was their babysitter," he said.

Bolhaar noted the suspect was a specialist in encryption and his computers had sophisticated protection.

A candle was left Sunday night on the steps of one of the affected day care centers. An attached note bore the single word: "terrible."

WITHIN TEMPTATION get creepy with new track WHERE IS THE EDGE from the film ME & MR JONES
Hard Rock and Metal Monday, 13 December 2010 11:08

Roadrunner artists WITHIN TEMPTATION will be releasing the track "Where is the Edge" on their official website this Wednesday, December 15th. Contrary to what the title may indicate, the track is not about a search for the U2 Guitarist, but will coincide with a video for the song, which features exclusive preview scenes taken from the upcoming movie Me & Mr. Jones, directed by Oscar-winning Dutch director Paul Ruven. The movie is a thriller inspired by the disappearance of Natalee Holloway on Aruba, the island where also the movie itself has been secretly shot.

 

Fans sharing the video on their Facebook using an application on the Within Temptation Facebook page will have their names included in the special edition of the album.

 

When speaking about the track, Within Temptation revealed, “The song 'Where Is The Edge' is based on the story of The Unforgiving, a graphic novel written by Steven O’Connell. However there is a clear link between the storyline of our new concept album and the thriller Me & Mr. Jones as they both deal with mystery, murder, guilt, and a lack of forgiveness.”

Also on any autopsy would-director Derek Ian Blok nothing. "We have professional and should not disclose personal information." The government wants as regards dengue is like to be as transparent as possible, he says. "In general, the family of a deceased must give permission for autopsy and for the disclosure of the results. Only then can the government possibly mention that if we used in our professional legal possibilities. "

He explained, the general procedure. "When someone dies, presumably due to dengue, the blood is collected. The moment of blood is very important. Until several days the patient had dengue, then this need not be visible in the blood. And this will help the investigation is not forward. There are possible additional research to determine whether it was dengue. If the first result is negative, but the suspicion of dengue continues, we do additional testing. It is only in the Netherlands. The results of such tests take one week to one month, depending on the severity of dengue. "

Epidemic
For the outbreak of dengue and the situation on the island makes any dengue death no difference. "That sounds very harsh to say, but last year we had three dengue deaths. A death due to dengue this year is expected, the spread of dengue as long as we did not stop. "
Aruba is 'just' in a dengue epidemic, says Block. But he hastens on to say that this week may vary. "We view the dengue figures over five years. The trend is that between March and September are extremely few cases in November and December more accurate. As long as we in our weekly sales figures below that trend figures are, we speak not of an epidemic. We have above, we call it an epidemic. "The latest figures are of dengue in late November. Health finds that when there was a slight increase of dengue cases, just above trend. "We see an increase in November over the trend and thus an epidemic, but the increase was less than expected. If this line continues, then it could be that the epidemic in December over again because we back below the trend down. "Block admits that on the basis of these data the dengue situation in Aruba can be seriously mentioned.

Van der Sloot: I've 'misused' Holloway case 'for my own advantage'
By the CNN Wire Staff

Also Monday, a Peruvian court voted 2-1 to reject van der Sloot's contention that he is being held unlawfully, but the court requires three votes to secure a decision. Alteza said that a fourth jurist will hear the case and cast a vote at a public hearing next week. If that judge votes in favor of van der Sloot, a fifth judge will hear the case to break the tie.

Van der Sloot not Peru's most notorious prisoner
Last Update: 9:33 am

Meanwhile, down the road at Castro Castro, Joran van der Sloot is still awaiting word his appeal to have his murder confession thrown out of court. His lawyers charge both coercion and procedural improprieties to his confession he murdered 21 year old Stephany Flores after she found material about Natalee Holloway on his computer. Flores corpse was found in van der Sloot's Lima hotel room five years to the day of Natalee Holloway's disappearance on a high school trip to Aruba.

Waiting for justice to prevail for Natalee Holloway and now Stephany Flores at time seems so futile.

However ... there is a day coming when Joran van der Sloot will stand alone before the Judge of all judges and ... He will not be mocked.

Translated comments from a Dutch site about Robert M (the pedophile):

Dutch to English translation
Robert M.: Did no one writing on the wall?

Exactly. Adult sober mind, stripped of all modern imposed tolerance and non-discrimination legislation, says when it comes to young children that you would be stupid for a young male immigrant Note here that a marriage joined with a male partner, with such shows raising children as a "profession" and often unsupervised.

This is so unspeakably harsh:

The son of the woman came home in August 2008 with the story that he and a boyfriend of 2.5 years old that day by M. were abused. The boy said he and his friend had to undress themselves. They were M. parts sit in each other's thinking, says AT5.

M. on the particular day only for the group stood and held the boy under his own clothes. But he encouraged the two.

Fantasy
The director of the nursery was the story as fantasy. Children under four would come up a lot, according to him. In an interview, where Robert M. was present, took the director even to his employee. "He could work through the stories and could do no more night of sleep over the accusations."

Unreliable
Even the police do not believe the story, says the mother. "We were told that they could do nothing with the declaration," the woman says. "Because these young children are unreliable."

"For Robert, the way it turned out that we were not taken seriously," says the woman.

Source and © The Guardian

Parents and police / justice everywhere mi would be well advised to include the directors of childcare once piece by piece under a microscope to explain. And in some cases such as this with the director from 2008 to redundancies. I repeat: a staff with such a background, take precaution not in such an environment. All non-discrimination law despite fact.

Valero to restart its Aruba refinery

By Associated Press  |   Monday, December 13, 2010  |  http://www.bostonherald.com  |  Business & Markets
ORANJESTAD, Aruba — Valero Energy Corp. says it is restarting its Aruba refinery, which has been idle for a year and a half.

The San Antonio, Texas-based company shut its Aruba refinery in July 2009 as falling prices for its refined products made the plant less profitable. The refinery had a capacity of about 275,000 barrels a day.

Valero’s executive vice president Kim Bowers said in a Monday statement that the refinery "will soon be in operation." The restart process will begin within days and all refinery units are expected to be operating by the end of January.

Aruba and Valero have also signed a memorandum of understanding regarding the delivery of a liquefied natural gas to the Caribbean island, which will help reduce utility costs.

Valero's Aruba refinery to become fully operational in January
Valero Energy intends to reopen its 235,000-barrel-per-day refinery in Aruba within days and expects it to be at peak operation by January's end. "The restart was supported in part by the settlement agreement reached with the government of Aruba and approved by the parliament of Aruba last May," the company said. Valero has spent more than $90 million to improve the refinery.
