5-16 years??? wtf? How about the death penalty?  @MudPuddlePie :) I agree with you that this does seem ridiculously small jail time for such abuses. But we do not yet know what those 4 people exactly did. I mean they arrested a total of 90 people total. This is a speculation, maybe those 4 people behaviors was things such as no direct sexual abuses but they were somehow involved in the distribution of recorded movies from the abuses or maybe they did payment processing with the knowledge that those were sexual abuses & crimes against babies & children. In other words, what did the other remaining 86 arrested people did? And what will be their jail time? For comparison, back in 2004, also in Belgium, both Marc Paul Alain Dutroux & his wife Michelle Martin were arrested on charges of kidnapped, tortured and sexually abused six females aged between 8 and 19, four of whom died. Marc got life imprisonment in jail, and his wife got 30 years in jail.
