Belgium's sentencing court ordered a new psychiatric report on Marc Dutroux, a convicted child rapist and killer, in order to determine whether he should be released early from prison, which could become a reality in 2021. Experts will determine whether Dutroux is likely to re-offend, and will examine the impact of his detention in solitary confinement over the past 23 years. He was convicted of raping five girls in 1989 and spent three years in prison. He was later convicted of abducting and raping six more girls in 1995-1996. Four of the kidnapped girls died horrific deaths while in his custody. In 1996, as many as 400,000 outraged citizens filled the street to protest against the mishandling of the case by law enforcement and the judiciary, revealing widespread distrust in the country's institutions that threatened the establishment. Dutroux contends that he is part of a criminal network that includes high-level pedophiles.
