Dutch conductor is guilty of sexual intimidation
NewsThe Institute for Human Rights in the Netherlands has reported the conductor Pieter Jan Leusink for committing unwanted sex acts against two soloists, between the years 2012 and 2016.
Leusink invited the women to stay at his home during rehearsals. They told the institute that they agreed to have sex with him out of fear that he would terminate their contract with his ensemble. They may now resort to legal action in the civil courts.
Leusink, 64, is listed as a conductor of The Bach Choir & Orchestra of the Netherlands. He was not cited by name in the judgement, but his identity has been confirmed by a number of Dutch newspapers and on television.
