Up to 30 Years in Prison and Compulsory Psychiatric Treatment Demanded Against Woudenberg Couple for Abusing Babysitting Children
The Dutch Public Prosecution Service has demanded 30 and 20 years in prison plus compulsory psychiatric treatment (tbs) for Richard van den B. (57) and his ex-wife Evertje van E. (34) from Woudenberg for sexually abusing six children from two families between 2019 and 2024. Some victims were drugged with GHB. The couple, arrested in early 2025, faces 19 charges. In court, parents described the devastating impact. Van den B. denies intentional abuse, citing sex addiction, while Van E. claims she acted out of fear. Experts recommend tbs for Van E. due to multiple disorders.
