Man sentenced to 2.5 years in prison for assaulting and raping ex-partner

A man born in 2002 was sentenced to 2.5 years in prison, with six months suspended, for assaulting and raping his ex-partner in his Amsterdam home on January 25, 2026. The court determined that the defendant committed severe physical violence, including headbutting and kicking the victim, before forcing her into sexual acts despite her repeated refusals. The judge characterized these actions as a gross violation of the victim's physical and sexual integrity, noting that the perpetrator prioritized his own desires over the victim's well-being. The victim's account was found to be consistent and supported by medical evidence. She eventually managed to escape by convincing the assailant to take her to a local supermarket, where security footage later captured her wearing a hood and glasses under his instruction. In addition to his prison term, the man has been issued a three-year contact and location order and must pay nearly 8,000 euros in damages to the survivor.
