Father in Dutch farm family case charged with sexual abuse: prosecutors

Dutch prosecutors said on Thursday they suspected the father of a family that was found locked away in a farmhouse room of having sexually abused two of his nine children. Police discovered five siblings and their ailing father last month in a hidden room where they appeared to have lived in seclusion for years, at a farm in the north of the Netherlands. In addition to the five children found at the farm and the one who escaped, the man had three other children who did not live at the farm.
