Well what the hell.

THE arrest of a Dutch special-needs swim teacher after the seizure of tens of thousands of photographs of him allegedly abusing mentally disabled girls has thrown the country into shock.

Benno Larue, 59, ran a swimming school which specialised in teaching mentally retarded children, children with water phobias and children with other special needs.

He was arrested on June 8 on suspicion of sexual assault, sending shockwaves through the local community and the country, as details of the evidence against him emerged.

"We have confiscated tens of thousands of pornographic pictures and video footage of hundreds of girls," a spokesman of the police in Den Bosch in the southern Netherlands said yesterday.

"The pictures show the swimming teacher performing sexual acts on at least 98 girls, aged 6 to 16," he added.

Given the obvious difficulties in interviewing the special-needs children, estimates of the number of potential victims have ranged to possibly over 1,000.

Two girls have so far been identified. Police said that so far it appears all girls had been the victims of assault, not rape.

Larue taught in several swimming pools in Den Bosch and three nearby towns and villages.

He had previously been under police investigation five years ago, also on suspicion of sexual abuse, but the evidence was insufficient for an arrest.

Speaking at an emergency meeting of more than 400 parents of Larue's pupils, Dutch police confirmed they had confiscated the suspect's five computers, eight hard drives, 10 cameras and 16 memory cards containing tens of thousands of photos and video footage of girls aged six to 16.

"Regrettably, many parents of his current and former pupils will never know if anything ever happened to their children," Den Bosch police chief Wilbert Paullissen said, adding Larue had probably not recorded all children he allegedly assaulted.

As many of Larue's pupils are mentally retarded, police have not yet decided whether they will interrogate the children to collect evidence, the police chief said.

"Interrogating these children will be a major task and very complicated," he said.

Rumours about suspected sexual abuse by the swimming teacher first surfaced five years ago, but a police investigation did not lead anywhere.

Then on June 7 police unexpectedly received concrete information about possible sexual abuse. The next day, the police arrested Larue and started a wide-ranging investigation.

More than 100 police detectives are now working on what appears to be the largest sexual abuse case in the Netherlands in decades.

Speaking after the first parents' meeting, Den Bosch mayor Ton Rombouts said many parents were "emotional" and "in shock".

Dutch anti-child porn organisation Meldpunt Kinderporno said it was an "extraordinary" case.

"Many child porn collectors possess more than 100,000 pictures, but they usually build their "collection" by exchanging pictures with others," a spokesperson said. "But this swimming teacher appears to have made all pictures himself."

Local police said the suspect remained in police detention pending the investigation.

This man is just not right. :shake:
What would YOU do to him? :tup:


PS I realise not all of the 98 girls were mentally disabled (or were they?) but I didn't know how many actually were.

The guy has some issues with intimacy. It sounds like he may have gotten into the habit of his own hobby and nobody was there to stop him so it only became worse with time.

I'm reminded of an Eddie Izzard sketch
You know, we think if somebody kills someone, that's murder, you go to prison. You kill 10 people, you go to Texas, they hit you with a brick, that's what they do. 20 people, you go to a hospital, they look through a small window at you forever. And over that, we can't deal with it, you know? Someone's killed 100,000 people. We're almost going, "Well done! You killed 100,000 people? You must get up very early in the morning. I can't even get down the gym! Your diary must look odd: “Get up in the morning, death, death, death, death, death, death, death – lunch- death, death, death -afternoon tea - death, death, death - quick shower…"

It wasn't confirmed all girls involved were mentally disabled. The man worked at a swimming pool teaching disabled children and children with fear of water I believe?
