Keith Bakker arrested after accusation of sexual abuse

Keith Bakker (58) appeared to the police in Amsterdam on Tuesday morning and was arrested. The police and Bakker’s lawyer have confirmed this on RTL Boulevard. The addiction expert is again accused of sexual abuse, although the police do not want to say anything about it. This morning he reported to the police. He will be heard here.

“I will be sentenced in the media”

Bakker, aged 58, was sentenced to five years in prison in 2012 for committing seven women and young girls. After serving his sentence, he moved to Bali, where he built a new life and entered into a relationship with an 18-year-old girl. She has since become his ex. Bakker suspects that she is behind the declaration, he writes on his website.

Bakker had already indicated that he would report to the Netherlands at the request of the police. He maintains that he has done nothing wrong. Yet he has little faith in the further handling. “If the police arrest me, there will be media attention and then the whole circus will start again,” says Bakker. “I will be sentenced in the media.”
