After a fight with her mother, a 12-year-old girl from Tilburg walked away, but she did that with the wrong one. She was taken by 44-year-old Marcel J. to his house in Wouw, where the two had sex. And whether the girl volunteered does not matter before the law. J. should have known better and so the judiciary demanded four years in prison on Tuesday, one of which is conditional.
The always so cheerful girl has changed completely since that night with Marcel J. in Wouw, her mother told in a heartbreaking story in court. She is not ready to accept help and her mother is very concerned about her development.
The girl feels guilty that she is getting up Snapchat As a 24-year-old woman and indicated that he wanted to start a relationship with J. from Wouw. They had loved once and a week later they agreed. Marcel would pick up the girl in Tilburg. When they were talking together in the hall of the flat, her mother came to get her. But a short time later the girl ran outside again and jumped in the car at Marcel.
Looking everywhere
It seemed that the girl wanted to flee the parental home and before that she used Marcel J. she took his phone off and he had to continue her. At home in Wouw, J. laid two mattresses on the floor on which both had sex that evening. In the meantime, the worried family was looking for the girl everywhere. Thanks to her iPad They saw at night that she was in Wouw and in no time there was police at the door.
There was not much discussion in court. A 44-year-old man is always guilty when he has sex with a minor. J. did his best to explain that the girl seemed older and she said she was 24.
Bell ringing?
But that is not going to help him. The girl is clearly still a minor, also saw the judges in photos and they kept asking if he really hadn’t seen the girl was so young. “You hear how she talks, what she is talking about and what she looks like. Is there no bell ringing? ”, The judge asked. “No, I didn’t realize it,” said Marcel.
The officer sees enough evidence for withdrawing from parental authority and sex with a minor. He demanded four years in prison, one of which is conditional. According to him, J. must also be treated and he is no longer allowed to have contact with minors.
Marcel didn’t have many words for it. He turned out not to be a good talker anyway. He is also intellectually limited and has few friends, it turned out during the session. He is also sensitive to addiction: soft drugs and medicines. J. was allowed to return to the cell after the session, where he has been sitting for almost five months.
The court will rule on this case on 11 March.
