Ex prison bait in the cell

A Belgian former prison director must himself behind bars because he has sexually abused detainees in exchange for a more favorable regime.

In the summer of 2013, a scandal broke out around the blind B. Prisoners accused him of sexually inappropriate behavior. Earlier, he had been discredited for the same reasons when he was director of the prison in Hoogstraten. However, these complaints were dismissed. After his transfer to Wortel, new complaints surfaced.

The court now finds it proven that B. prisoners in Wortel offered favors in exchange for sex. The man has always denied it. According to his lawyer, there is a plot of detainees and guards. The court sees sufficient evidence against the man.
