Johan Derksen changes the candle story with which he has become seriously discredited. He did not put a candle ‘into’ a woman, but put it between her legs. That’s what he said tonight in Today Inside.
Johan Derksen’s story about a ‘youthful sin’ at the age of 22 has caused an extreme stir on this King’s Day. He told today in Today Inside that he penetrated an unconscious woman and made a pushing gesture: “There was such a big candle and we put it in it and then we left.”
ferocious Johan
Johan added that a public prosecutor would call that “technically (…) rape” [zou] can explain’. Tonight, a day later, he tells a different version of the story. Now Johan claims that he did not put the candle in the unconscious woman, but in between the woman’s legs.
He says: “The AD wrote: ‘Derksen penetrates woman with candle’. That’s all bullshit. It was such a very large thousand-hour candle. That was in, it stands on such a pedestal, such a very large thing. We took that one, that lady was lying on the couch and we put it between her legs in no time. So when we left, that candle was perpendicular to the sky.”
Not clear
Colleague Wilfred Genee points out to Johan that he has caused confusion himself. “Yeah, so that wasn’t quite clear yesterday, was it?”
Johan: “No, but you can’t put a thousand-hour candle in a vagina, you know. That’s not the case. It is uncivilized, I was 24, I said to you beforehand: ‘You are ashamed of it’, but I wanted to show: the image of the time has changed so much. Now you get kicked for everything and then we went to the order of the day.”
Wilfred: “But the fact that you now say that the candle has been put in between, I think that the criminal law will turn out very differently because of that.”
Johan: “Yes, fine, it remains uncivilized.”
weird story
Moments later, Özcan Akyol does not seem to realize that Johan has changed his story: “I think it’s a very strange story again. Well, I wouldn’t be so quick to put a candle in a woman’s cunt. I find that very strange what he has done.”
René: “He didn’t say that either, did he?”
Johan: “No, so in between.”
It’s all blown up, says Johan. “There were four people present and no one saw that as rape. That woman woke up with a thousand-hour candle between her legs. Yes, he probably thought: how did that thing get there? And that has also become the order of the day. I don’t even know her name.”
Penetrated
Wilfred points out that this is a different version of the story: “No, but yesterday the impression was that you had penetrated the candle. That’s a different story now too. That falls under another article I assume in this case. Maybe not even under an article, right?”
Lawyer Job Knoester by telephone: “I don’t think this story that Johan is now telling falls under an article.”
Özcan thinks that many people just want to see Johan fall: “They hate him and now they had him for a while, so now it all came very massively.”
Johan: “They don’t enjoy it much, because it doesn’t affect me.”
