Dutch pensioner arrested over child porn

Published on 4 February 2010 - 10:37am
More about:

Dutch border police have arrested a man at Amsterdam's Schiphol Airport on suspicion of sexually abusing children abroad.

When customs checked the luggage of the 65-year-old on his return from Thailand they found pictures of children involved in sexual acts. When police searched the man's home they found videotapes, DVDs, books and photographs containing child pornography.

Just two weeks ago the airport police arrested an Irishman aged 68 carrying suitcases containing child pornography. Since 2008, the airport's border police and customs officials have intensified their checks to intercept child-porn couriers.
