DPG Media, the media group to which VTM also belongs, is examining whether it should take steps after reports of suspected child abuse by a Flemish actor. VRT also says it will take appropriate measures once more information is available. The actor starred in various youth programs, TV series and children’s films.

The facts came to light after an undercover investigation by Dutch journalist Sven van der Meulen in collaboration with HLN.be and Het Laatste Nieuws. The actor is said to have played in dozens of productions by Studio 100, VRT and Disney, but also by VTM over the past twenty years.
“The situation is very serious,” said An Goovaerts, spokesperson for DPG Media. “In the coming hours and days we will investigate exactly what it entails, including the judicial investigation. Then we will see what further steps we take.”
According to the first information, DPG would not have a collaboration with the actor and has been for some time. However, it is still being examined what should happen with productions with the man from the past.
The VRT also responded to the reports about suspected child abuse by the Flemish actor. “We are not aware of the investigation at the VRT. If we receive further information, we will take appropriate measures,” spokesman Hans Van Goethem responds briefly.
