Authorities arrest suspect in Dutch child abuse case
By the CNN Wire Staff
December 15, 2010 1:35 a.m. EST

* Officials identify the suspect as "Robert M," a substitute preschool teacher
* He is arrested in Amsterdam on suspicion of molesting up to 50 children
* Interpol: Child pornography can only be produced through the sexual abuse of children

(CNN) -- A substitute preschool teacher suspected of molesting up to 50 children has been arrested in Amsterdam, the Netherlands, the international police organization Interpol said.

Dutch prosecution officials have said the 27-year-old man, known as "Robert M," confessed to abusing dozens of children and had images of child sexual abuse at his home, according to a statement Monday from Interpol.

An investigation started after the image of a young boy was identified by his family following its broadcast on Dutch television on December 7 at the request of Dutch national police, Interpol said.
