Yvonne van Hertum

Van Hertum at a protest

Yvonne van Hertum is a notorious "pedojaagster" (pedophile hunter) who operates a small group/hate campaign out of the Netherlands. She became politically active against the eating of dogs in South Korea, but decided to adopt "pedophile hunting" as a hobby shortly after the PNVD was formed.

SCA-SKS

Van Hertum uses the name Stop Kindersex (SKS), stopkindersex.com and a freely-hosted website to publish frequent updates on her pedophile war. Much of her activity focuses on attacking those who she identifies as pedophiles within the Netherlands, especially those associated with the two organisations Martijn and PNVD, for whom she reserves her most vitriolic condemnation.

According to our Dutch contact:

"the SCA SKS forum is a world with its own logic"

Much of her activity since 2006 has attracted far-right sympathisers. Whilst this would appear to de-value her campaign, many ex-hunters have distanced themselves from Van Hertum, especially after her organisation was implicated in unethical behaviour concerning chat stings.

Denial of service attacts

Yvonne van Hertum and her organisation appear to have been involved in a series of debilitating bot attacks on the Vereniging Martijn website and possibly others. Due to translation problems, information on this is sparse.

"Habitual", "slanderous" liar

Van Hertum is often accused by her opponents of lying - not in isolation, but as part of a systematic pattern of allegations. Our contact notes that ""tendentious" is still a very mild term".

In 2008, Marthijn Uittenbogaard was even summoned to a police station for upholding these accusations.
