Liberal Party: Stronger Punishment Required for Various Crimes

On behalf of the Liberal Party (VVD), the Parliamentarian Fred Teeven, a former prosecutor, proposed that the Statute of Limitations for Sexual Abuse which at present is 12-15 years, should be abolished and that these crimes can be prosecuted without any time limits. He also proposed that youngsters of 16-17 years old can more frequently be judged as adults. He said that youngsters who terrorize neighborhoods should not get away with only one to two years of youth detention, as is often the case at present.
