This man should be in prison not participating in Olympics.
-
“He served one year of a four-year sentence” 😐 Such a trash punishment.
-
I am Dutch and signed the petition against him particepating. I feel shame this sex offender is representing my country. I once was 19. A 12 year old was clearly a child and not someone to be sexual interested in. Only predators do that.
-
Bruh, I can't get a job at a Supermarket because of a felony conviction for theft but they'll let a child rapist compete in the Olympics. Wtf?
-
"He attributes his crime to being a teenager" I was a teenager too and I never assaulted a 12 year old girl. Wtf kind of excuse is that?
-
They picked this guy to represent their country over others who haven't assaulted a twelve year old? That's sick.
-
He should be in jail now, not the Olympics.
-
1 year of 4 year sentence for violating and altering the life of a child? What a joke.
-
No normal 19 year-old looks at a 12 year-old with sexual intentions. It has nothing to do with him being a teenager. He's a predator plain and simple.
-
Should 100% be banned from competitive sports and should still be in a prison.
-
If you read the dutch news, all of the comments are like this. " He served his punishment. So he can engage. If he's not allowed in the olympics, aren't we giving him a life sentence?" I disagree. Letting him compete in the olympics shows no integrity and morals in a country.
-
The country of Netherlands should be ashamed of themselves for allowing this man to even compete let alone not lock him in a prison
-
My heart broke to his victim imagine seeing your r4pist not only got away with his crime but competing in Olympics and your country celebrated him I'm disgusted
-
Some countries are overly concerned with rehabilitation. Imagine wanting to send your best, the pride of your country, and one of them violated a child. The Dutch Committee should be ashamed. There is absolutely no excuse for what he did. I do not know a single person that wanted to touch a 12-year-old at 19, myself included.
-
A one year sentence for raping a 12year old. Thats insane. What a disgrace
-
0:59 Dutch Olympic Committee says "Van De Velde has grown and positively changed his life" What about the lifetime consequences to the 12 year old child?
-
I’m Dutch, and I’m embarrassed and ashamed that such a person is still allowed to participate. Absolutely ridiculous
-
The biggest irony, the British judge that sentenced him literally said “you’ve thrown away everything you could have become”. Unfortunately, the judge was more moral than the Dutch government.
-
He was 19 HE WAS NOT A CHILD. doesn't matter how much he changed that little girl will never forget it
-
Children should be protected from predators
