A few years ago it was a hot news item that the Dutch Minister of justice Ferdinand Grapperhaus proposed to make all sexual assault illegal. Yet, isn’t unwanted sex rape by definition? And even if there were to be a difference, should the accused face a sentence which is half as long?
These topics are often extremely complex, which makes a concrete solution practically impossible. But addressing such an important topic in politics makes Grapperhaus a role model for our future generations. In this photo series, I framed him as the hunk in a teenage bedroom, being adored and appearing on posters and in magazines.
