30 hours of community service for assault of Picnic delivery worker in Nieuw-Vennep

30 hours of community service for assault of Picnic delivery worker in Nieuw-Vennep

A Nieuw-Vennep man received 30 hours of community service for grabbing a female Picnic delivery driver's buttocks while she was working. The court found the victim's testimony credible due to her immediate reports of the incident, and also ordered the man to pay nearly 400 euros in damages.

A man from Nieuw-Vennep has been sentenced to 30 hours of community service for sexually assaulting a female Picnic delivery worker. During a delivery to an apartment building, the victim was setting down groceries when the man reached out and grabbed her buttocks while she was bending over. The encounter lasted approximately two seconds, after which the man attempted to ask for further assistance with his delivery crates, which the victim refused. Following the incident, the woman immediately contacted her supervisor and a friend, both of whom noted she was visibly distressed and emotional. The court deemed the victim's testimony reliable based on these reports. While the prosecution had requested a suspended prison sentence in addition to the community service, the court opted only for the service hours and ordered the defendant to pay nearly 400 euros in damages to the victim. This ruling concludes the legal proceedings regarding the assault incident that took place during a standard delivery shift.
