Gifted
Peter D. has an IQ of 61 and is therefore mentally retarded. The Public Prosecution Service requests his internment, following the advice of the court psychiatrist. But the voyeur’s lawyer is aiming for a release under strict conditions, such as outpatient treatment and a ban on contact with minors. “I have a hard time immediately taking the step to internment based on low intelligence and intellectual disability. Moreover, we all know what internments are like in Belgium. That was already the case when I came to the bar, more than thirty years ago.”
Plopsaland De Panne is asking for symbolic compensation of 1 euro. In any case, the forty-year-old will spend the entire Christmas holidays in prison. The judge will make a decision on January 6.
