From Monday, parents of children identified in videos and photos taken by the swimming teacher charged with child sexual abuse, Benno Larue, will have the opportunity to view the material.

At the police station in the southern city of Den Bosch they will be shown the video and photographic evidence relating to their own children. Before they see the videos and photos, they will be given a description of the content. Counsellors will be on hand to offer them support.

So far 60 victims have been identified. The police have not made public how many parents have chosen to view the material.

Benno Larue specialised in lessons for children with mental disabilities or a fear of water. He was arrested in June after a computer repairman found suspicious material on his hard disk and reported the discovery to the police. Police went on to find tens of thousands of photographs and videos of young girls at his home. He is charged with rape, sexual abuse, and possession and distribution of child pornography.
