Child sex offender Will Heum has reportedly admitted that he used children for ‘unnatural relations’ and also uploaded their ‘acts’ on the Internet, according to his confession statement submitted by the Chennai police at a Mamallapuram court Thursday.
“I used the children for unnatural relations…sex deprivation made me allured to young boys,” Heum was quoted in the statement.
“I used to give little boys gifts and let them play video games…I lured them for sex.”
“I tool photos of the act, stored them in my computer and later upload them on the web,” Heum’s statement read.
The statement comes a day after Heum denied confessing his crime, while he was being sent to 15-day judicial custody on Wednesday.
"I didn’t confess any crime. This is too much. I'll go back to the Netherlands," he had said.
The 56-year-old was arrested on November 7 following an Interpol police alert. He is also accused of uploading child pornographic material on the Internet.
The case against Heum has been registered under the new IT Act, which came into force on October 27. If convicted, he will face a maximum punishment of seven years' imprisonment and Rs 10 lakh fine.
A 2002 case against Heum is also pending trial. In this case, he was accused of molesting 40 orphans at Little Home, an orphanage opened by him at Mamallapuram in Chennai.
Heum, who came to India 30 years ago and started "social work", stayed in Mamallapuram, where he befriended several children and started the orphanage.
