The trial of 41-year-old Bas P. from Deer began over allegations that he abused more than 200 underage girls online. An earlier report put the number of alleged victims at at least 220 worldwide, while a later report referred to more than 200.

The allegations concern girls aged 12 to 18 whom he allegedly approached through an online game and obtained sexual videos and nude images from. The reports said victims can be left with shame and fear that images will resurface.
