Roc does not have to find out perpetrator sex video
Roc West-Brabant is not required by the judge to cooperate in an investigation to see who posted Chantal's sex video on Facebook. The judge agreed with the roc today that it gives the privacy of employees and students more weight than the individual interests of Chantal.
In January 2015, a sex video of Chantal from Werkendam was posted on Facebook, which turned out to come from an IP address of the roc. To find out who had done this, Chantal wanted the ROC to cooperate in an investigation to find out the credentials of the perpetrator. The roc refused, because it would harm the privacy of the 2500 employees and 26 thousand students. All their login codes, search data and visited websites would then be viewed.
Other possibilities
Also the judge believes that privacy is more important and also sees other 'less objectionable' possibilities to find out the identity of the person who posted the video. For example, it was possible to ask six students whom Chantal suspects for permission to view their data. In addition, criminal proceedings are ongoing.
Clamp
“We were stuck from the start,” says Rob Neutelings, member of the board of Roc West-Brabant. “It is terrible for Chantal, we would like to help her. Posting such a sex video is inadmissible, but the roc is bound by laws. There are heavy fines for violating privacy, and apart from that, the privacy of our students and staff is very important, ”says Neutelings. That is why the roc has also taken that position in the interim proceedings.
According to Neutelings, it is a different story when the police and the judiciary are on the doorstep. “It then concerns a criminal investigation into the perpetrator. Their powers go much further. We are happy to cooperate. ”
To freeze
Roc West-Brabant has, in order to accommodate Chantal, 'frozen' a lot of data data, so that the data is still available when requested. Neutelings: "We did that regardless of the statement."
A spokesman for the Zeeland-West-Brabant Public Prosecution Service announced today that they are going to investigate who put the sex video online. The Public Prosecution Service and the police can do this in different ways, they have different powers, says the spokesperson, but it is logical that they will come to the ROC at some point.
