Dutch Childcare Worker Caught

Robert Mikelsons is being tried for abusing 67 children while in his care and also distributing child pornography. His wrongdoings were found out by a U.S. investigation. A picture of a 2-year old boy on a porn site was traced back to the Netherlands. Which all led to the arrest and prosecution of Mikelsons, who is a current resident in Amsterdam. The defense is making the plea that Mikelsons is in need of psychiatric care. Robert ran a private childcare operation in Amsterdam, with his partner Richard van Olffen, who will face similar charges. Mikelsons will face up to 20 years of jail time.
