Netherlands: Amsterdam pedophile caught on US tip
None
Amsterdam police have called for the public to provide information in a possible child pornography ring after a preschool substitute teacher was arrested on suspicion of molesting dozens of very young children. The 27-year-old suspect worked for at least two preschools in the city and offered his services as a babysitter online in what is feared to be one of the worst cases of sexual abuse in the Netherlands, the city's mayor said.
Eberhard van der Laan said more than 50 parents were informed Sunday that the suspect arrested last week after a tip from US authorities has either confessed to abusing their children or was thought to have done so. Amsterdam police spokesman Rob van der Veen said Monday police were still seeking more witnesses in the investigation. (AP)
