X3 was a girl in the abuse network from 1950 to 1962. She was an acquaintance of Marie-Noëlle Bouzet, the mother of the murdered Elizabeth Brichet. Anonymously, X3 had already written about her experiences with child abuse and she was well respected for her work with other child abuse victims. After contacting the authorities, she was invited to testify in November 1996. She had 4 long talks about her history of child abuse, but only on December 10, during the 5th interview, her interviewers wrote down the first report. Even after this 5th interview her interviewers were under orders to write down as little as possible, because she mentioned members of the royal family. It is an unwritten rule in Belgium to terminate any investigation in which the royal family becomes a suspect (officially, the king is immune anyway). The summary of her interview of May 26, 1997 (PV 151.688) ends with the peculiar sentence: "Identical interview as 151.829, but she doesn't mention royal personalities." In PV 151.829, dated June 2, 1997 (at least, the summary), she mentioned Prince Charles of Saxe-Coburg-Gotha, King Baudouin and "King Albert" (whether she meant Albert I or Albert II is not known).
X3 was severely abused at home from age 3 to age 12, together with her sister. Her father and his friends would play cards, and whoever won that evening could pick one of his daughters and do with her whatever he pleased. The doctor, one of her abusers, would stitch her up if necessary, for example when one of the participants had decided to cut X3's stomach open. When she was 7 or 8 years old one of the participants partially removed her clitoris. After the age of 12 she was introduced to the network. She was placed in a bar and forced to became a prostitute. She also had to find and initiate other children into the network. At this point, she was regularly drugged and taken to parties in different villas, where usually a number of influential people had gathered. At one of these parties she had witnessed how the genitals of a young boy were cut off, how he was killed and ritually buried. Her father or Charly De Pauw (a buddy of Paul Vanden Boeynants) usually brought her. Charly would come by in a pink American car with a white roof. PV 151.829, June 2, 1997: "The car stopped on a parterre before the house. [It] was surrounded by a park. Two supervisors were present: Ralf and Walter. The children were taken to a tower made of natural stone and with a wooden door... an underground [corridor] left from the turret toward the cellars... without light... going downward. In the cellars there were cells where the children were locked up, awaiting their turn. There were also some cells for the dogs (dobermans). The passageway gave way to a room of spectacle. In the tower: dead children's bodies in various stages of decomposition (sometimes dismembered and/or missing body parts) and carcasses of dogs. Spectators: always the same but difficult to identify - about fifty. She recognized the regent Charles, King Baudouin and King Albert, and two others that she calls Charly [De Pauw] and Polo [Paul Vanden Boeynants]. She thinks to have recognized Willy Claes and doctor Vanden Eynde. The dogs listen to Ralf and Walter. The addicted dogs are excited. Spectacles = orgies, putting to death children and dogs. The spectacle room has a strong odor of excrements of dogs. Dogs can roam free in the garden... Gilles (12 years old??) was castrated by Polo. The other children have to drink the blood... Girls are slashed with razor blades. The lips of the vagina of X3 have partially been cut and were given to eat to the dogs... A girl's [large] vulva was cut into slices and fed to the dogs..." More in PV 151.829, June 2, 1997: "A hunt is prepared by Charly and Polo. Present: Charles-Ferdinand Nothomb. This is at another place. Big white house with [at least one additional floor] and stables. The park has a round basin and a fountain coming out of a statue. The children were released naked and when caught, they were raped. The hunt ended with tortures in the spectacle room... Virginity of a girl of 7-9 years taken by a dog. A product that excited [the dog] was placed on the girl's vagina. The other children had to lick the blood... A baby devoured by the dogs... Childbirth by a teenager through a caesarean section. Baby pulled out of the stomach and given to the dogs by Polo [Paul Vanden Boeynants]. She saw the dismembered mother again in the exposition of the dead... She has to eat the human flesh cut from the bodies. She has to eat pieces of children (fingers) served in gelatin. Good taste - slightly sugary. It provoked an enormous sensation of hunger and thirst. Drinking blood relieved the sensation of thirst... She speaks of another murder that she committed on a girl of 3-5 years under the threat that it would be her brother who would be killed. She opened up the girl from the vagina to the breastbone with a knife. She gave the internal organs to the dog. Someone cut off the head. The child was devoured by the dogs... Murder of a young teenage woman who was opened up by Vanden Eynde... The baby shouted in the mother's stomach. She resewed the stomach with the baby inside... She also has to eat from the excrements of dogs... She has to cut off the vulva of a female dog named Rita." More in PV 151.829, June 2, 1997: "Luxurious house with a surrounding wall and gate... non illuminated twisting path. There were some stables. Parterre with flowers. Hall of entry = cream-colored and blue tiles - red carpeting. Walls made of marble with a teenage picture of [later king] Baudouin on it. She spent a whole night with Baudouin - fellatio and sodomy. Presence of maid... In this house there were many servants... She remembers one evening when she had been smeared with cream before being brought to the table on a tray. She had been licked off and raped... At the end of another evening a child... had been castrated. The other children that were present buried the boy in a flowerbed. She remembers a child who had been decapitated, then cut and fried before being eaten. She remembers children who hung on hooks in the kitchen. A certain Solange [a female name] has been enucleated [what exactly?] with a spoon by her and an old lady." In contrast to X1, X2 and Nathalie W., X3 was treated with respect and that seems to have been the reason that she somehow kept her trust in the Neufchateau cell. However, a lot of what she said was never written down and there has never been the slightest investigation into the claims she made.
