Dance Valley director arrested on suspicion of rape
NL TimesUnited Dance Company owner Brian Bout was recently arrested in Spain on suspicion of rape. "It is correct that I was arrested in Spain earlier this year, but in the criminal procedure that was initiated as a result of the allegations, in which both versions of the story were heard I was released by the Spanish judge," Bout wrote in a statement. "However, I denied, and still deny these woman’s allegations," said Bout. The 52-year-old Spanish woman who accused Bout published a post on Instagram saying that she was raped in her home in Madrid by Bout, the organizer of Dance Valley, Dutch Valley, and other events. "He pushed me inside and brutally raped me," she wrote, adding that she had recently undergone surgery to remove a cervical tumor before the alleged attack.
