Rex Productions

Rex Productions was a hardcore pornography studio in Amsterdam linked to Jean-Michel Nihoul's trafficking network through Marleen De Cokere. Rex Productions was operated by Didier Pellerin, a transvestite born in Paris, France, who sold production through the Rex Product and Rox Film Product companies from the Netherlands. Pellerin had several charges for false documents and incentive to debauch. According to a police report, Nihoul could have participated in sadomasochistic shoots at the studio. Pellerin hosted monthly buffet evenings at her premises for initiation to sadomasochism. The report noted that Marleen De Cokere had worked as a secretary at the studio, and an anonymous witness reported seeing photographs of children chained or in handcuffs at the premises, which appeared in a press book. Pellerin reportedly stated that the trade in pedophile videos was very lucrative in Belgium but dangerous.¹

Rex Productions was mentioned alongside Roxanne Films in the dossier compiled by the Morkhoven Workgroup that linked Marc Dutroux to child traffickers in Amsterdam. Nihoul was charged as an accomplice in the kidnapping of Laetitia Delhez along with Annie Bouty and Marleen De Cokere, who was linked to the hardcore child pornography studios Roxanne Films and Rex Productions in Amsterdam. The Morkhoven Workgroup dossier described Dutroux as having frequented the studios as part of his connections to the Amsterdam-based child trafficking network.¹
