Antwerp (Brussels Morning Newspaper paragraph): Last week, Eddy Snelders was charged with four crimes, including voyeurism and exhibitionism. He secretly filmed his former stepdaughter and exposed himself to neighbors. His lawyer, Sane De Clerk, might appeal the charges, which also include child abuse images and attacks on three women.
Last week, the public prosecutor asked to take Snelders to court on four charges, including voyeurism and exhibitionism. Eddy Snelders has admitted to using hidden cameras in his home to secretly watch others, including his former stepdaughter, who was a minor at the time. It has been said that this situation is serious because it involves a child and raises concerns about his betrayal of trust. The use of hidden cameras shows a harmful pattern of behavior, and the authorities want to hold him accountable for his actions.
What are the implications of Snelders’ charges of Voyeurism and Exhibitionism involving minors?
Eddy Snelders is also facing accusations of repeatedly exposing himself, in addition to voyeurism. Witnesses say he would satisfy himself while standing behind his office window, knowing his neighbor could see him. These incidents happened several times and show a clear disrespect for social norms. The public prosecutor says these actions are serious enough for a trial due to their impact on the victims. The case has attracted a lot of attention because of its disturbing details and the involvement of a minor, stressing the need for justice.
The public prosecutor’s office wants to charge Snelders for having child abuse images and for attacking three women. He has denied these charges from the beginning, and his former stepdaughter is said to be one of the victims. The council chamber has sent all the charges forward. It’s not clear if Snelders will appeal this decision, but his lawyer, Sane De Clerk, says they are seriously thinking about it.
