Zuhal Demir criticizes « disgusting » promotion of YouTuber Acid after revelation Name of rapist student: « A mediaile adolescent who wants to commercialize this »

The Bruges department of the Public Prosecutor’s Office of West Flanders announced yesterday that an investigation was started into a video message from Nathan ‘Acid’ Vandergunst (25). De Blankenbergenaar unveiled the name of a gynecologist in training who was found guilty of the rape and the damage to the sexual integrity of a fellow student. He received no punishment for those facts.

The verdict caused a lot of dust on social media, after which Acid revealed the name of the defendant in a video. « He is not in better justice or better victim rights, » Demir said on Thursday evening. « He is mainly concerned with his followers or I know a lot. It has to stop. We don’t live in the Middle Ages. This is calling for revenge and retaliation. »

« It is not up to me to judge the judgment of the judge, » said Demir. « But I would like to make a call to the magistrate. Given that the perpetrator is promising and successful, he does not get a punishment. Every citizen who reads this will think: Ah, if the perpetrator had been a worker, he received a punishment and did the facts on his criminal record. »

After a similar video of Acid about the death of Sanda Dia, the West-Flemish public prosecutor did not start any research at the time. Due to a direct summons of an ex-statement, the YouTuber still had to answer for the Bruges correctional court. On February 22, 2024, he was sentenced to three months in prison with a postponement and 800 euro fine for attack
