Long-time readers will remember that I used to hold an annual ‘Paedocrite of the Year’ award (which was usually won by ‘Manboobz’ David Futrelle). Well it’s only the first week of May, but there sure is already a lot of elite competition entered if we want to award a prize for the biggest paedocrite of 2025. A Dutch ‘researcher’ for investigative website ‘Bellingcat’, who wrote under the name of ‘Daniël Romein’ and specialized in tracking down the makers of child porn from clues left in the images, apparently died peacefully in his sleep at the age of 52 three years ago. His life and work was eulogized at the time by his colleagues, but now another investigative website has turned their searchlight on his past and discovered some shocking information. He did not die in his sleep from cardiac arrest, but rather committed suicide after being sentenced by a Dutch court for raping his own preteen daughter. Just as shockingly, he had already been found guilty of downloading child porn in the early 2000’s.
The scandal appears to be focusing on to what if any extent Bellingcat knew of the paedocrite’s child porn past and the more recent child rape allegations and conviction. However, what’s even more pertinent in my view is the fact that he not only performed his ‘research’ for Bellingcat, but for Interpol as well. A guy who was jerking off to child porn and raping his own six year old daughter every day – well that’s no surprise to anybody here. We all know that this is probably par for the course for a ‘CSAM researcher’ at these law enforcement agencies. Hell, he might even have been a ‘virtuous paedophile’ by their standards. But the fact that Interpol employed him AFTER he had already been convicted of downloading child porn??? Are they not even hiding it anymore?
“Romein’s suicide was apparently motivated by his March 2022 sentencing to 36 months in prison for sexual abuse. He was also barred from seeing his daughter, the subject of his abuse, for the rest of his life.
The ruling, released three years later due to pressure from independent Dutch outlet De Andere Kant, details Romein’s shocking sexual assault and rape of his daughter while she was between the ages of 6 and 10, and reveals he was convicted of possession of child pornography “over 15 years” prior.”
“Romein was not only involved in MH17 for Bellingcat, but also in the Stop Child Abuse initiative, a project by Interpol to combat child abuse. The international police organization shows objects on its website, such as curtains, furniture and clothing, that can be seen in the background of photos or videos of child abuse, in the hope that someone will recognize them and alert the police. Bellingcat has collaborated on this project. Articles about this on the Bellingcat website show that Romein actively contributed to it from 2018 to 2020. He is mentioned as the main author in two articles.”
