“I’ll take that boy home,” but that didn’t happen: 61-year-old gets three years in prison after raping mentally handicapped boy (18) | Ghent

“Palmke was known for his pawing.” A 61-year-old man from Ghent, who owes his nickname to his favorite beer, has been sentenced to three years and one month in prison for the rape of a mentally retarded 18-year-old boy. The victim, with a mental age of 4, had run away from home and ended up in a café in Ledeberg. There he sat at a table doing his homework, until he was approached by the man in his sixties. It was supposed to “take him home”, but that didn’t happen in the end.
