The specific outcome (verdict or sentencing) of the case involving the 30-year-old Afghan refugee accused of sexually assaulting a 14-year-old girl in a Belgian public swimming pool in October 2025 has not been publicly reported as of July 2026.
While the incident and the controversial defense argument—that the defendant "had never lived with free women before"—sparked significant public outrage and media coverage in late 2025, no subsequent updates regarding a conviction, acquittal, or sentence have appeared in major Belgian news outlets or international monitoring services.
Status: The case appears to remain either under judicial investigation, sealed due to the victim's minority, or pending trial without public verdict disclosure.
Context: Similar high-profile cases involving asylum seekers in Belgium sometimes face delayed reporting of outcomes due to privacy laws protecting minors or ongoing appeals, but the absence of any reported resolution nearly a year later is notable.
The lack of a confirmed result contrasts with other recent sexual assault cases in the region where verdicts (such as suspended sentences or community service for minors in Kortrijk) were widely publicized."
So, It appears the case has not yet been resolved or the outcome has not been made public.
Meta and Google Social Media Addiction Lawsuit

The case was brought by a 20-year-old woman who accused the tech giants of deliberately designing addictive platforms that worsened her mental health.
