A Belgian prosecutor who
led the investigation says that Marc Dutroux, accused of
kidnapping, imprisoning, and raping six girls, and killing four of them,
brainwashed two of the survivors so well that they thought their
liberators were part of a gang he said was after them. Jean-Marc
Conneroite testified that the girls, then 12 and 14, kissed Dutroux when
he led police to the dungeon where he kept them. Some of the witnesses
in the case are using the term “network” to imply that Dutroux was part
of a pedophile ring. (BBC News,
