Martijn A. (33) from Tilburg has been given three years in prison and TBS with conditions because he abused girls aged 10, 11 and 14 in Waalwijk. The child molester went further and further in his urge to get girls into his car. He eventually had sex with the third girl, but was also arrested because her mother immediately intervened.
In September 2021, the first two girls were lured, showed their penis and offered money. It hit the third girl. She just got into his car and was sexually assaulted.
It all happened in Waalwijk between mid-September and October 1, 2021. Martijn kept driving around the center there and talking to young girls.
Get chips
The first two girls took off quickly, but things went wrong on October 1. An 11-year-old girl was allowed by her mother to go to the Albert Heijn in the De Els shopping center to get chips.
The public prosecutor had to admit during the hearing two weeks ago that it broke his heart when he saw the images of that evening, just after six o’clock. “I saw a little girl on a slightly oversized blue bicycle with such a container in front. She was approached by a man in a black Audi A3 and I saw her put her bike away. And she got in.”
‘Act normal’
In the car was Martijn who lured her into his car with a very simple excuse. Her parents would have asked him to pick up their daughter because it was raining. She believed him.
Until Martijn turned out not to drive to her house at all, she panicked. Martijn sat in the back seat with her and started having sex. “Just act normal, I’m only 11”, the girl had shouted. “I will have children soon.”
But Martin did not stop. After fifteen minutes he brought the eleven-year-old girl back to Albert Heijn, where she unlocked her bicycle and quickly drove home.
Take samples immediately
Thanks to the mother, Martijn could be arrested the next day. She is a doctor herself and intervened resolutely: do not wash or urinate, but immediately take samples.
Thanks to the DNA that the mother herself secured, it became clear that Martijn was the perpetrator. His Audi was also seen more often and other things came to light.
The public prosecutor was surprised that Martijn was making more and more serious mistakes so quickly in succession. “In June 2021, a 17-year-old girl beckoned in Tilburg. In September, he tried to seduce girls aged 10 and 14 and show his penis. And on October 1, sex with an 11-year-old girl in his car.
‘New job’
Martijn, who denied for eight interrogations, admitted during the session that he was wrong. He had no idea why he was doing this. “I think the tension of a new job got too much for me,” he said.
Surprisingly, he had everything on track in his life with his girlfriend and young daughter, he said himself. He also wants to be treated, because according to him something like this should never happen again. In addition to the prison sentence, the court also imposed treatment in a clinic. He remains under supervision even after his treatment.
