- 29-year-old daughter of the Meiland family accused a man of rape.
- The man claimed he suffered from the biography's story.
- The court rejected the man's request for a complaint.
- Sébas Diekstra stated there was no defamation involved.
- Peter Schouten respects the court's decision.
- In August, the court allowed witness questioning.
An earlier report was dismissed, and he attempted to enforce a complaint through an Article 12 procedure. The court confirmed that the request was denied because the complainant failed to file a report within three months of learning about the statements.
Sébas Diekstra, who represents Meiland, expressed satisfaction with the outcome, stating, “It was from the beginning clear that here was no question of defamation.” He noted that both the report and complaint must be filed within three months, which did not occur in this case.
“The decision of the court is respected.”
— Peter Schouten, the man’s lawyer
