A beach volleyball player who was jailed for raping a 12-year-old British girl is set to represent the Netherlands at the Paris Olympics.

Steven van de Velde, now 29, was sentenced to four years in prison in 2016 after admitting three counts of rape against a child, which took place in August 2014.

Van de Velde, who met his victim on Facebook, travelled from Amsterdam to the UK and raped the girl at an address in Milton Keynes.

He was allowed to serve his sentence in the Netherlands but was released after just 12 months.

Van de Velde subsequently resumed his volleyball career and has competed in international tournaments since 2018 "following an intensive, professionally supervised trajectory" the Dutch Olympic Committee (NOC) said.

He has qualified for the Olympics in his national pair with partner Matthew Immers.

The Dutch Olympic Committee (NOC) told BBC Sport: "After his release, Van de Velde sought and received professional counselling. He demonstrated to those around him - privately and professionally - self-insight and reflection."

The NOC says Van de Velde's return to the sport met guidelines set by the Dutch Volleyball Federation (NeVoBo) in the organisation's "Guidelines Integrity Record", which sets out conditions for athletes to resume competing after conviction.

It says he has met "all qualification criteria for the Olympic Games".

In interviews with Dutch media previously Van de Velde said: "I can't reverse it, so will have to bear the consequences. It has been the biggest mistake of my life."

In a statement provided by the NOC, Van de Velde said: "In 2016 and afterwards, several Dutch media also paid attention to the story. I understand that in the run-up to the biggest sporting event in the world, this can attract the attention of international media."

The International Olympic Committee (IOC), the Dutch Volleyball Federation and the International Volleyball Federation have been contacted for comment.

He confessed to drugging and raping a 12-year-old girl. He was convicted in England for four years and then extradited back to the Netherlands, where they released him pretty much straight away and put him on the volleyball team.

He feels absolutely no remorse whatsoever and claims that he has been unfairly victimized.

Oh, and the Netherlands also has a law that makes it illegal to be mean to pedophiles after they've served their sentence. Yes, really.

Genuine question: why is Europe soft on any crime except invented hate crimes and bad opinions? I get that the regime must exert control over narrative and thought so I understand the coming-down-hard on thought crimes, but this Hollander isn’t even a token negroid, so what gives?

My best guess? Humiliation ritual. It's not enough to simply give extended sentences to those who criticize their pets, they want those that still dare to do so to watch as even the most heinous crimes are treated with kid gloves. After all, the people who posted something mean on Twitter need to know that what they did is more severe than raping a child.

I remember a big documentary series on Youtube that went into the Netherland's child trafficking issue. Shame it got deleted years ago.

I strongly dislike Eurofags on the whole but tulip niggers really make me homicidal.

Because all the Europeans with balls left and live in the United states or died in the trenches of both world wars

Total psychologist death.

Dutch law has been dominated by hippies from the 60s-70s who were true believers of the 'he had a bad childhood / everyone can be rehabilitated' viewpoint. Criminal law has not been updated with new scientific insights about pedophiles and psychopaths, despite criminologists and the people demanding it again and again. Meanwhile, psychology and psychiatry is full of extreme left-wingers AND plain unintelligent people with no life experience, and they both subscribe to that angle at all costs. Which leads to excusing violent and sexual crimes all the time. You can basically rape freely here and you'll get away with it. Violent crimes against women or children are barely prosecuted because 'what about the poor offender, his dad was mean to him'.

Groomed her online and flew to the UK to rape her. Sentenced to 4 years, served 12 months. A real, unambiguous pedophile.

The purpose of a system is what it does. I wish more people cared.

 

[Orc-Chud]

this is the first rape in Europe that wasn’t a mudslime in like 6 decades

A few MATI streams ago Null said the American justice system is too harsh. I consider it. Then I see shit like this and say the systems of Europe aren't harsh enough.

this is the people that created Ongezellig, soooooo

Indoor Women's Volleyball also used to feature women wearing bloomer shorts, and some National Teams (Cuba and Greece) even worse one-piece swimsuit like uniforms:

And it's definitely not a coincidence that engagement went down (?) when those uniforms were replaced with boring shorts instead.

How do women avoid pussy exposure in those outfits?

 

[Telvanni]

I'd willingly throw the game out of protest if I was in his team
Total Chomo Death

Tape? Luck? Money to buy more before they wear out? Probably some combination.

Luck eventually runs out.

Ayo, wtf. Rare England W. Netherlands L with a capital fucking L. I hope he gets brutally guillotined in France and they shove a moldy baguette up his rotten corpse.

Honestly, the only hope I get is when I hear some American pedo going to jail for the rest of his life. Considering no jail time is a regular occurrence and recommended in the sentencing guidelines in much of the EU but I know for sure it’s the case in the UK.

A for-profit prison system isn’t always as abhorrent as it seems. People with victims as young as 5 have gotten community service, and literally no one cares. Will march for George Floyd though, chant “hands-up don’t shoot” at English cops who don’t even carry guns.

Ayo, wtf. Rare England W.

Raping a child is an unimaginable evil, and the UK gave the guy 4 measly years, and let him serve in the Netherlands so he served 1. It’s soul destroying reading this shit every single day. England L always. Netherlands is just worse.

 

[Pill Cosby]

Isn’t rape legal in most of Europe anyway?

Depends if your a native or not. I think the US has this problem also.
