This is happening now
Transgressive behavior is not an abstract problem. It affects real people, in the Netherlands and worldwide.

In 2025, Marco Borsato stood trial for indecent assault of a minor. The prosecution demanded five months imprisonment. The court acquitted him due to insufficient evidence. The case again showed how difficult it is to prove boundary violations.
