Scri 990 Posted July 26, 2024 Share Posted July 26, 2024 Even though many associations and many countries' delegations have criticized Netherlands' choice, Van De Velde, who was sentenced to four years in prison in 2016, will represent the Netherlands at the Paris Games. The Dutch Olympic Committee agreed that he should stay outside the athletes’ village and not talk with media, who would certainly ask about his prison sentence for r*ping a 12-year-old girl when he was 19. https://www.nytimes.com/athletic/5645577/2024/07/25/van-de-velde-child-rapist-volleyball-olympic-games/ Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

What the actual f*** I didn't know any of this, so I guess their attempt to hide it it worked... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He shouldn't have been allowed to compete They disqualified (rightfully) an athlete for hitting her own horse, but apparently a sentence for rape is not serious enough... (Obv, different countries, different comitatus, but the Olympics have general rules... I'm just shocked) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

PopMusicForever 746 Posted July 26, 2024 Share Posted July 26, 2024 Is it just me or I’m starting to see more stuff about pedophiles and it’s just starting to feel “normal” little by little?!! It’s crazy. I just keep hearing more stories and people not getting enough punishment. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

At least for my internet bubble, it didn't make any noise at all till few hours ago, and even then it's under tons of ads of Olympics... So basically one needs to look for it.
