Dutch riot over sex abuse revelations

Dutch police detained at least 40 people following two nights of riots in a working-class neighbourhood, triggered by the airing of a television programme in which a man admitted to sexually molesting his eight-year-old stepdaughter.

Outraged residents in the Graafsewijk neighbourhood of the southern city of Den Bosch smashed the man’s windows and threw his furniture into the streets after the broadcast of the show “Problem Neighbourhoods” on Thursday night.
