Domestic violence center fires counselor for inappropriate behavior with 37 women

An Amsterdam employee of Veilig Thuis, a center for assisting domestic violence victims and handling abuse claims, was fired with immediate effect. The man was accused of transgressive behavior with 37 female clients and former clients of the center since 2017. The ensuing investigation revealed that this employee approached 37 current and former clients via WhatsApp to make appointments, while there was no longer any reason for him to do so in the context of his position. In coordination with the sex crime division of the police and the Sexual Violence Support Center, the Amsterdam Municipal Health Service then engaged a specialized agency to contact the 37 women.
