Former mayor gets prison for child porn.
Two men, Herman J. and Oskar van der V., have been sentenced to prison for crimes against children. Herman J. received a year for possessing child pornography, while Oskar van der V. received seven years for abuse and possession. Both cases involved the exploitation of young girls.
Herman J., a former mayor, was found to have over 1,000 images and videos of child abuse on his devices. Police discovered these materials after reports from Google and Snapchat. The court did not find enough proof for a longer sentence related to abuse. Oskar van der V., a former concierge, filmed 18 young girls while working at a primary school. He was sentenced for abusing these girls and for having child pornography.
