First two terms I need to explain:
"autochtone" means original Dutch people
"allochtone" means immigrants or their childeren
Rotterdam = 2nd largest Dutch city
From "De Volkskrant" by correspondent Ron Meerhof, 22 december 2001
Perpetrators and victims of group-rapes are getting younger. This was concluded by experts on this matter at the court, the DA-office and the collected lawyers-office in Rotterdam.
Youthjudge S. de Pauw Gerlings is seing many more perpetrators of 14 years and even younger. Also the officer of justice L. Bronsel, from youthcases in Rotterdam, is confronted more and more with younger perpetrators. In most cases the perpetrators are younger than 14 years of age.
Lawyers confirm the observations. In Rotterdam there are several cases where girls of 12 year have fallen vicitm to group-rapes or group sexual-assaults.In certain one case all ten suspetcs are youths. In another case one of the perpetrators was a 11 year old boy.
Statistics about vice-crimes with youths are not available, because such cases are left outside of publicity as much as possible.
According to all parties involved are almost all perpetrators "allochtone" jongens from bad neighborhoods. "White boys are solo-rapists", says De Pauw Gerlings. "Mostly it is a sore loser." Almost all vicitms are "autochtone" girls.
The criminal code offers only a few possiblities to handle youth vice-crulpits. Perpetratos up to 16 years can be senstenced to a maximum of 12 months. In the case of the 11 year old boy it cannot be used. He is too young to be punished by criminal law.
The same thing happened in Virginia Beach,Virginia a couple of years ago. A 11 year old boy raped a 8 year old girl,and walked away free because it was determined he was too young to know what he was doing.
