Former mayor of Groningen Koen Schuiling challenges conviction at the Supreme Court

Former Groningen mayor Koen Schuiling is appealing his conviction for public indecency to the Supreme Court. He received a fine for allegedly masturbating in his car, based solely on one witness's testimony. Schuiling maintains that he was merely massaging his abdomen due to medical issues following heart surgery. Previous reports indicated that the case against him was incomplete and influenced by biases regarding his sexuality. His lawyers argue that the court should not have relied on a single witness. The Supreme Court will review the legal correctness of the lower court's decision without re-examining the facts.
