Natalee Holloway killer Joran van der Sloot having sex with three different women while serving life in prison
Natalee Holloway killer Joran van der Sloot is having sex with three different women, despite serving a 28-year sentence in a Peruvian prison for murder.
“He was approved for conjugal visits,” a spokesperson for Peru’s National Penitentiary Institute tells The Post. “He has the same rights as any other prisoner.”
The news comes as no surprise to people who know the 36-year-old van der Sloot, who last year finally confessed to the brutal 2005 murder of 18-year-old high school senior Natalee Holloway in Aruba.
“He’s a player, and has always been a player,” his childhood friend, Cas Arends, told the Post. “Women have always been attracted to him for some reason.”
After escaping authorities investigating Holloway’s death in the Netherlands territory and the US, van der Sloot ended up in Peru, where he was eventually convicted of killing his then-girlfriend, business student Stefany Flores Ramirez, in 2012 and sentenced to 28 years.
Chillingly, she died five years to the day of Hollway’s death.
Under Peruvian law, prisoners are allowed private visits to have sex with partners from the outside.
Visitors are allowed to spend up to two hours in a private setting with inmates at a time and according to authorities, van der Sloot has listed three different women on his most recent application, which was subsequently approved.
One of the approved women is his longtime girlfriend, Eva Pacohuanaco.
Pacohuanco began dating van der Sloot in 2020. Shortly after they met, she allegedly smuggled drugs into Juliaca prison by hiding nearly 300 grams of cocaine and 140 grams of marijuana into the prison by hiding them in food, including 19 sugar beets.
Prosecutors initially sought an 18-year sentence for her. Although Pacohuanco was not convicted, van der Sloot was given an extra 18 years in prison.
Despite van der Sloot’s relationship with Pacohuanco, his friends say he will never be monogamous, even behind bars.
Van der Sloot is currently being held at the notorious Ancon 1 prison north of Lima.
Over the years and at two different facilities, seven different women have been approved for conjugal visits with van der Sloot, including his ex-wife, Leidy Figueroa, who got pregnant while he was behind bars. Their daughter, Dusha Trudie, was born in 2014.
Van der Sloot was just 17 in 2005 when Holloway vanished while on a class trip to Aruba.
As the last person to see her alive, van der Sloot was the prime suspect and often gave conflicting stories about her disappearance.
After his guilty plea, van der Sloot was sentenced to 20 years in US prison, to be served concurrently with his Peruvian incarceration. He was then returned to Peru last October.
Beacuse of the statute of limitations in Aruba, he cannot be charged with Hollway’s murder, despite his confession.
After van der Sloot was convicted in the US, Hollway’s mother Beth said in an interview with the New York Times: “His hold over me is gone. It took 18 years for us to shift roles to where now I feel like I was the victor over him.”
