An 83-year-old man from Assen was sentenced to fifteen months in prison for sexually abusing his granddaughter. A prison sentence of one and a half years was demanded.
The grandchild was abused for ten years. It started when she was five years old. At the age of fifteen, the girl told her boyfriend what was going on. She had been abused for ten years by then. Her grandfather also took pictures of her. In all kinds of poses, which according to the court could be interpreted as child pornography.
In addition, she was touched several times by her grandfather. This happened when the man thought he was unobserved. The court took a little more account of the age of the man in sentencing. But thinks the case is so serious that the man should still serve a prison sentence.
