The Public Prosecution Service demanded no less than three years in prison against Ali B on Friday for two sexual assaults and two rapes. A hefty punishment, but according to Maxime Meiland the demand is not nearly high enough. On Instagram today, the Meiland star lashed out at the rapper and called him an ‘arrogant monster’.

Transgressive behavior will not be tolerated
The Public Prosecution Service suspects 42-year-old Ali B of four sexual offenses with a total of three different women. And apparently they have enough evidence to convict him of that. “Transgressive behavior, despite the suspect’s fame, will not be tolerated,” was the redeeming answer today from the Public Prosecution Service in the sexual offense case against the rapper. But, according to Maxime, this penalty is really far too low.
Victims are victims and not perpetrators
Maxime also filed a report against an alleged rapist last month, but the Public Prosecution Service stopped the investigation because they did not have enough evidence to start a lawsuit. Maxime knows exactly how such a criminal case works and what it is like to be a ‘victim’. Because this subject is so close to her heart, she is now speaking out strongly against the criticism that the complainants have received in the case against Ali. Maxime also received a lot of criticism in the run-up to her lawsuit. “It is really sad to read the reactions. There is still so much slut shaming. This man is just an arrogant monster. It is really time that the victims are seen as victims instead of treating them as perpetrators. “
The text continues under the attack of Maxime Meiland.
When is the verdict in the lawsuit against Ali B?
Although the sentence is now known, it will take some time before we know what kind of punishment Ali B is really facing. The judge is expected to rule in this case against the rapper on June 27. And if they deem rape proven, he can go to prison for a maximum of twelve years, according to De Volkskrant. Fingers crossed that there will be justice for the victims.
