She hears his story emotionally this afternoon. “When I heard that he had done it eight times, I got too angry. How can you do something like that?” She says during the break. The fact that there are villagers in the public gallery, gives her a lot of support.
After the rapes, her pony was examined by veterinarians and a behavioral expert. They conclude that ONA has left an inflammation of the vagina and stress.
Also suspected of sex with dog
Van Z. was not justified today for the rapes of ONA. The Public Prosecution Service also suspects him of having had sex with his babysitting dog, but he firmly denies that. “I didn’t hurt her with her. I dare to put my hands in the fire for that,” he explains. No physical clues for abuse have been found in the dog, but according to experts he behaves ‘abnormal’.
Children’s and animal porn on Van Z.’s telephone and laptop has also been found, including films of rapes from ONA.
The Public Prosecution Service blames Z. that he does not seem to realize how serious his behaviors are. “He feels himself the victim,” concludes the officer from his attitude towards the police and the judiciary. “He is especially angry that he has lost his dog.” It was seized.
Cottage, tree, animal
Van Z. mainly wants to pick up his life again. He thinks he can do that by following treatment for his psychological problems and with the help of the municipality of Uithoorn and promises to no longer go wrong. “In the end I just want a house, tree, animal.”
Annemarie is not comfortable with it. “I think he would do it again.” The officer also estimates the chance of repetition high. That is why, in addition to a prison sentence, she demands a large number of measures that Van Z. has to adhere to. Among other things, she wants him to be treated, for two years not allowed to have pets and have to wear an ankle strap, so that he cannot get close to ONA unnoticed.
The court will rule in the case in two weeks.
