However, the two abused daughters and a friend see it differently. In order to promote the recovery of the eldest daughter, she was exceptionally allowed to have a victim statement read out. On Thursday she had made very short use of her right to speak, but now she was ready to let her know what she thought of her mother. ‘Crying is what I do. You ruined my life. I have to learn to trust people again.’

The fact that Tanja accused her father also bothered her. ‘He never touched me. I caused a car accident myself because I thought I was dirty. You put ghb in my drink, you had your own daughter used as a whore. I could have died from that GHB. Taking pictures of me was an addiction for you and Pascal ..” Tanja D., who did not have to be present in the room but watched via a video connection from the Penitentiary Institution in Scheveningen, did not want to respond to the statement.

Her health is said to be fragile. She emphasized this once again in her plea, in which she also discussed the sentence from the public prosecutor. “I don’t think the 10-year requirement is appropriate at all. Who is the evil genius, that is Pascal! Risk of recidivism? I don’t see that at all,” she raised her voice. “What’s the point of those 10 years? I draw attention to her situation, it’s a bunch of people I’m sitting next to. Her stay here is very sour, she is being harassed “She also doesn’t have long to live, that could be a few weeks, months or years, no one knows. What has she actually done? A higher punishment than Pascal is ridiculous.”
