ASSEN - A Dutch court will hold the first procedural hearing on Tuesday in the case of a man accused of keeping his family in seclusion for nine years in an isolated farmhouse in the northern Netherlands.
In October, police found him and five adult siblings at the farm in Ruinerwold after a sixth sibling escaped and reached a nearby village bar. After listening to his story, local people alerted police. Van Dorsten, who described himself in writings as “Cosmic Eagle” according to an account in daily De Telegraaf, was initially arrested on suspicion of abuse, unlawful detention and money laundering. Charges were later expanded to include the sexual abuse of two of the oldest of his nine children.
The children, all over the age of 18, have not spoken publicly but have given statements through a Dutch filmmaker working on a documentary on the family. They have said they continue to hold the values their father instilled on them to “find happiness in our relationship with God and to educate ourselves”.
