Belgian Presenter Sven Pichal Sentenced to Conditional 3-Year Prison Term for Child Pornography
Sven Pichal, a 45-year-old Belgian radio presenter, has been sentenced to a conditional three-year prison term for distributing child pornography. He avoids imprisonment if he complies with conditions over the next five years. The high-profile case sparked outrage in Belgium, especially since Pichal was known for advocating LGBT rights. He resigned from his position at VRT following his arrest last August. Just before the verdict, he was hit with a liquid, reported to be urine, as he entered the courthouse.
