News about Ali B
And it ain’t good
I am a layman in legal matters, I admit it right away, but I always wonder why it takes so incredibly long for some cases to be taken up by the court. When will there be a ruling in the The Voice case? It also seems terrible for the victims to remain dangling in this twilight area. But anyway, that's beside the point.
There are no rulings, but there is news. About Ali B. He has recorded a music program with Ellen ten Damme: Ali B and the Music Caravan. During these recordings, Ellen ten Damme experienced inappropriate behavior from Ali B. She did not file a report, but she did inform the police and mentioned it when she was a guest on De Geknipte Gast. The episodes of Ali B and the Music Caravan were still available online, but AVROTROS has taken them offline.
And what do I see while preparing this piece? Ali B appears in court on June 12 and 13. What exactly is he suspected of again? One could almost forget, it has taken so long. He is being prosecuted for sexual offenses involving three women between 2014 and 2018. Besides Ten Damme, he is being prosecuted for alleged sexual abuse of a woman during a writers' retreat and due to a case related to The Voice.
