ORANJESTAD (AAN): Beth Twitty - mother of Natalee Holloway, who disappeared in the past month of May on a graduation trip she made to the island – declares in a TV interview that Joran van der Sloot lied when he denied that neither he nor the Kalpoe brothers had sexual relations with her daughter before her disappearance.

Beth Twitty answers on the show “A Current Affair” that in a declaration made by JvdS, he admits to having sexual relations with Natalee Holloway.

Holloway Twitty, according to CNN, appeared on ABC’s “Good Morning America” on Tuesday and on CBS’s “The Early Show”. She says that the men, vdSloot and the Kalpoe brothers, Satish and Deepak declared to the Aruban authorities that they had sex with her daughter after they left a bar the night of May 30th.

During this interview, which took place on Monday, CNN indicates that JvdS said: “I kissed with her but neither did Deepak or Satish ever had sex with her and no one ever said otherwise".

Not only that, Beth Twitty spoke in an interview for “The Early Show”. Joran also admitted in front of 10 witnesses, when he was being questioned the morning of May 31, of a sexual assault committed against Natalee.

According to CNN, JvdS declared to the American press that he and Natalee were drinking until they left the bar and that Natalee wanted to go with him, and that he wanted to go with her. "It was totally consensual".

JvdS is currenty in Holland attending his studies. On this, Natalee’s mom has also expressed that she has plans to go to Holland to make sure that the case is not forgotten.

Additionally, CNN asks Twitty for her reaction about Joran’s statement that never in his life has he touched a girl in an aggressive manner, and that there’s nothing anyone can say otherwise. According to Beth Twitty, "Absolutely he's lying".

CNN adds that vdSloot admitted that he and the Kalpoe brothers lied initially and told authorities that they took Natalee to her hotel.

Also, he said that he later said that he went to the beach with Natalee and due to leaving her alone at that late hour he decided to lie [unsure about the accuracy of this last sentence]. "We agreed to lie” Joran said, according to CNN.

Finally, during the interview with the show “A Current Affair”, Joran declared that he lied because he was scared and that he didn’t want to admit that he left Natalee on the beach.
