The arrest of three men in connection with a child abuse scandal at Amsterdam daycare centres this week prompted a flood of reports of other cases on Wednesday.

In Assen, police gave details of a major investigation into child abuse in Drenthe. The case centres on a 50-year-old man, arrested in September, who had 200,000 images of children and hundreds of films stored on his computer.

He is suspected of abusing a 14-year-old boy in Brazil last year. He also runs a website where tens of thousands of child pornography images have been found, news agencies said.
In Almere, a 42-year-old man has been jailed for eight years for abusing two six-year-old girls. He also confessed to other sex attacks at the beginning of this century following a dna match.
And in Nijmegen, a 19-year-old youth has been arrested in connection with the alleged abuse of a number of children at a local football club. The abuse involved boys aged between 12 and 14.
