The judge must now judge this. K. is suspected of grooming, Omroep West reports. He is also said to have been guilty of preparing for sexual abuse with a minor girl.
In a broadcast of Undercover in the Netherlands with Alberto Stegeman, K. met a 15-year-old girl, he thought. This ‘Bente’ was invented. In reality, an actress showed up.
K. arrived at the scene with a lingerie set, massage oil, a dildo and a condom. He was caught red-handed and arrested by officers. “When we’re at your place … Have some sex. And kissing ”, said the man in the TV program.
André K. was previously convicted of, among other things, child pornography. Justice sees him as a repeat offender. According to experts, K. has various disorders and an addiction.
Provocation?
In the past, making sexual proposals was only punishable by real people, in other words: with real underage children. But nowadays this is also possible with fictional characters. Although the broadcast clearly showed that Undercover in the Netherlands ‘lured the man into a trap’, as the presenter said, there is no question of ‘provocation’, according to the Public Prosecution Service. Protection of society is more important in this.
