Nursery sex abuse scandal

A MAN who worked for at least two nursery schools is believed to have molested dozens of young children and used them to make child pornography in one of the worst cases of sexual abuse in the Netherlands.

Amsterdam mayor Eberhard van der Laan said more than 50 parents were informed over the weekend that a 27-year-old suspect arrested last week had either confessed to abusing their children or was thought to have done so.

The man was identified as a Dutch citizen originally from Riga, Latvia. His name was not released by police.
