A 65-year-old British national, Douglas Robert Brook, has been arrested in Namibia on 38 charges, including rape, indecent assault, and child exploitation, after allegedly sexually molesting minors and taking nude photographs of them.

The suspect, who arrived in Namibia last week for a holiday, reportedly targeted young boys and girls from the indigenous San community in the central Otjozondjupa region.

According to police, Brook lured 34 children with sweets and money, persuading them to undress for photographs. Regional police commander Maureen Mbeha confirmed that 16 teenage girls and 14 boys were sexually abused. Investigators recovered explicit images from his camera, which was seized upon his arrest on Sunday.

Brook appeared in the Grootfontein Magistrate’s Court, north of Windhoek, on Tuesday, where he was denied bail and remanded in custody. The case was postponed to next month as prosecutors requested more time for investigations.

The Namibian Ministry of Environment and Tourism condemned Brook’s actions, stating they were “deeply disrespectful to the cultural heritage of the San community.” In a statement cited by Informanté newspaper, the ministry emphasized, “It is unacceptable for any visitor, foreign or local, to exploit or objectify indigenous communities or their children for any purpose, including photography.”

Namibia, known for its stunning desert landscapes and vibrant cultural heritage, remains a top tourist destination, but this case has raised concerns over the exploitation of vulnerable communities. Authorities have vowed to pursue justice for the victims.
