Belgian MP assaulted girls

A member of parliament for the Belgian extreme right-wing Vlaams Blok party was given a six-month suspended jail sentence for indecent assault on two teenage girls. Xavier Buisseret was also stripped of his civil rights for five years. Buisseret was accused of having sexually molested the two daughters of another Vlaams Blok party member in 1992 and 1993 when he was secretary of the party's youth division. One of the girls was 17 and her sister younger than 16.
