Editing Jacobus van Nierop (section)

==Downfall==
In 2013 a teacher named Nicole Martin formed a victims' group to persuade authorities to investigate. Martin suffered severe abscesses and lost multiple teeth. The group quickly amassed 120 members, and in June that year police arrested van Nierop.

van Nierop went on the run before he could face trial, which was originally due in December 2013. In September 2014 he was tracked down to New Brunswick, Canada, and arrested. After extradition to France, he was sent to a psychiatric hospital and evaluated after he complained of mental troubles.

He was found to have "narcissistic tendencies" and one expert ruled him unfit for trial. Another, however, found him to understand fully his actions. The court took the latter view and he was convicted. At no stage in legal proceedings did he admit or deny guilt, as French law did not require him to plead.
