In 2014, a then-19-year-old Van de Velde traveled to Britain to meet a 12-year-old girl he’d met on Facebook, fully aware of her age. In 2016, he pleaded guilty to raping the schoolgirl and was sentenced to four years in prison. Van de Velde served 12 months behind bars in Britain before being transferred to the Netherlands where he was released a month later.

Or you know, not have sex with 12 year old girls. That usually does the trick.

Fuck this asshole. I don't think his life should be over, but he shouldn't be representing his country anywhere. Shame on the Netherlands too for sending this rapist to the Olympics.
