## Resource

A chilling case of child abuse has sent shockwaves through the legal system, as prosecutors demand prison terms of up to 30 years for Richard van den B. and 20 years for his ex-wife Evertje van E., accused of horrific sexual abuse against six young children—including infants—some drugged with GHB during sleepovers. While Richard denies most charges, only admitting to incidents caught on camera, Evertje initially denied involvement before confessing to administering drugs and aiding abuse, revealing a traumatic childhood that experts link to her mental state. Psychiatrists recommend mandatory treatment for Evertje due to PTSD, while Richard’s evaluations remain inconclusive as he claims no memory and refuses cooperation. Victims’ families describe unimaginable devastation, as prosecutors push for severe sentences and treatment to ensure justice for the shattered lives of these children.
