Thijs Römer, the Dutch actor, admitted to engaging in inappropriate online sexual behavior with three underage girls between 2015 and 2017. He was accused of seducing the girls, aged 14 to 16, into indecent acts through chats on social media. Römer sent and received nude photos and videos from the victims, leading to charges of possession of child pornography. During the hearing, Römer acknowledged that he "crossed a line" with one of the alleged victims, stating that he did not have a good understanding of the situation due to the significant age difference. He revealed discussing explicit topics such as sexuality and masturbation with the girl. The court demanded 240 hours of community service and a 90-day prison sentence, with most days suspended and a one-year probation period.
