She demanded a two-year prison sentence, TBS with compulsory treatment and imposition of the behavior-influencing and freedom-restricting measure against the man who stalked two ex-friends and threatened a doctor and employee of child protection. The officer: “Stan T. is a suspect of the outdoor category who does not stop on his own. Enough is enough.”

Not enough

It is unusual to demand a TBS measure in a case that is mainly about stalking. According to the officer, only a bare prison sentence Stan T. does not deter. “He has no sense of conscience and sees women as an instrument to get attention, money and sex.” Even from prison he approached a woman he had seen on TV in the moving judge asking if she wanted a relationship with him.

The experts from the Netherlands Institute for Forensic Psychiatry and Psychology (NIFP) who investigated Stan T. found a personality disorder with anti-social and narcissistic traits at the Limburger. They also see a great risk of repeating the stalking and the risk of violent behavior. Nevertheless, they did not recommend an imposition of TBS, because the disorder that Stan T. suffers from them cannot be treated.

The probation service also doubts the usefulness of extra supervision of his trade and walk. “We cannot check to whom he writes letters.”

‘With the best of intentions’

Stan T. claims that he acted with the best of intentions. He denies that he threatened to cut off the nose of a doctor and kill his children. And said that he continued to contact exes merely because he wanted his disappeared things back and because he did not understand why a friend ended the relationship after exchanging 248 hearts.

According to the officer it had nothing to do with love. “His design was aimed at intimidating.” According to the officer, the fact that the experts doubt the usefulness of a treatment is no reason not to try it. “Only imprisonment will never stop him.”

Lawyer Gitte Stevens asked for acquittal for lack of evidence for the cases played in Limburg. She criticized the “dusting” by the Public Prosecution Service of these cases from 2021. “The OM only does that to give the case of the Rotterdam ex more weight.”

According to Stevens, Stan T. continued to chase his Rotterdam ex “because he wanted explanation why she suddenly ended a loving relationship. He stopped after two weeks.”

The judge rules on September 18.
