The Olympic Village is full of juveniles and there is little in the way of monitoring, what a great place to send a child rapist.
And most people think the majority of olympic athletes are over 18 but there are athletes as young as 13 or 12
I’m 16 and was qualified to go for the Canadian team for swimming. I have a friend, who i wont name, but she is also very young and she is there competing. Him being there just makes me worried for her safety.
although if u look at young women swimmers from canada, u might know who im talking abt pretty quickly.
Why did you get downvoted??
Probably due to the partial doxxing
People who are convicted of rape, should really be forced to get a tattoo on their forehead or cheek, we deserve to know
you went full cecilia ahern on them and i like it
Or we just fire up the wood chipper
This guy gets it
Right, like a red circle with a + sign through it. Right in the middle of their foreheads. That would make them easy to SPOT
Aldo the apache is that you?
We used to brand pirates, that way there's no way to remove a tattoo
I vote castrated.
Nah not a tattoo that can be covered or removed, brand them across the face.
Also infamous for everyone fucking everywhere, all at once
On the other hand he might get rapped and experience the real traumatic experience he put a child through. prison would be the best place for him, I’m guessing he’s getting a free ride cuz an athlete?
Just like sending savile to children's wards in hospitals
This is the Underdog story Netflix has been waiting for.
So will they keep him as a white guy since they don’t want to make a child rapist black?
Black Lesbian for sure
So brave. Stunning
They’ll make it the sequel to Cuties, with even more child exploitation to really make the audience know that child exploitation is wrong
The name: SMASHING the patriarchy
(Edit: Volleybal reference not the other thing)
PUT A CHICK IN IT. MAKE.HER.GAY
Smells like money

Yes, Netflix, famously good for PoC lmao
He said Netflix, not Disney lol
Speedy kiddler - the unbelievable story of an unbelievably fast Dutchman.
He should get the Brock Allen Turner treatment.
The rapist, Brock Allen Turner?
The rapist, Brock Allen Turner, who now goes by Allen Turner?
The Stanford Rapist, Brock Allen Turner AKA Allen Turner?
You mean the Stanford Rapist, Brock Allen Turner AKA Allen Turner who only spent 3 months in jail and now walks free?
No, you're thinking of the Stanford rapist Brock Allen Turner aka Allen Turner who only spent 3 months in jail and now walks free over what his dad calls 20 minutes of action.
All of you, who will not let that rapist's name be forgotten, are my damn heroes!! 💕💕
No, the painter
The rapist Brock Allen Turner is the painter Brock Allen Turner now?
Did he use white paint?
The rapist Brock Allen Turner? No he used alcohol.
Paint it all Black!
Therapist, Brock Allen Turner?
Don’t tell me Brock Allen Turner got a PhD in rape at Stanford? Oh. He goes by Allen Turner now.
Someone needs to add the team sponsors next to this picture. They would love seeing that all over social media!
Swear he came into my restaurant last weekend
Bro turner raped your restaurant

Are there any legal jurisdictions that will prosecute more appropriately based on existing evidence and without a double jeopardy (being tried twice for a single crime) provision? My country also gives people a slap on the wrist for this, and I’ve got a distant family member we don’t talk to who’s been to jail for it three times now. I figure they and a bunch of other people could all take a trip somewhere, it might make for a really nice couple days…
I wonder if anywhere in Asia still has capital punishment for it?
He actually got longer in prison than Brock Turner did
"Steven van der Velde the pedophile rapist" is a fucking mouthful, but you're not wrong.
Yes! Brock Allen Turner, the Stanford rapist. I agree.
““Upon his release, Van de Velde reportedly said:, external "I have been branded as a sex monster, as a paedophile. That I am not, really not."”
You did one rape and that’s your whole personality. Smh
/s
He did three rape, sooo...
Multiple Personality Disorder
Hey! I have that and we don’t do this shit. We are in Med school and therapy. Also getting raped by my father helped form my DID.
This dude is just a pedophile.
Sorry gotta ask, did you say 'we' as in multiple personalities or as in the people who suffer from it?
Hope you're doing well these days, have a great day :)
Well I’m gonna assume “we don’t do this” as in “people with DID don’t do this” and then “we are in med school/therapy” as in the personalities, but please correct me if I’m wrong!
People with DID do sometimes (or usually, depending on the system) refer to their system as "we"
You are right also! I’m so happy people know these things!!! Thank you and all y’all who care about this it means so much ❤️❤️
🤗 We're all worth understanding 💕
You are exactly right! After I was diagnosed with DID it no longer felt true to just say me. I felt selfish. There as seven mes that make up me so it’s really a group effort, everyone deserves credit. Except for Blue, Blue is a fucking bitch…..
I’m sorry if it offended y’all, it was just meant to be a joke
And I’m sorry to hear that happened in the past 🫂
No no it was more like “not allll guyyysss” joke offended :) I understand the stigma around it as it’s been painted badly so I make it one of my missions to let people know more about it so you can ama!
Two Scotsman were sitting on top of a hill that overlooked their small village. During a break in the conversation, one man lets out a sigh as he's looking down at his village, and his friend asks him what's wrong.
"Look at that town down there." he replied. "You see the bridge crossing the river that leads into our village? I built that bridge with my own two bare hands. But do they call me McGregor, the Bridgebuilder? No.
"And you see the Church in the middle of our village, overlooking the square? Well I built that Church with my own two bare hands. And do they call me...McGregor, the Churchbuilder? No."
He pauses, and looks over at his friend. "But fuck ONE sheep."
allegedly
I heard it was a sick ostrich
One of my all time favorite jokes.
Sadly he’s suffered the same fate as Richard the Goat Fucker.
Him - “Has forced intercourse with a minor” Also him - “Am not a pedophile” People really love lying to themselves don’t they.
It says he qualified for the Paris Olympics, but I wonder if the Netherlands would be shameless enough to actually send him to compete. Like, can you imagine the international outrage if they sent a child rapist to represent their country?
“But this one’s quick!”
“That’s not a good thing!”
You're reading the international outrage because they're sending him.
We once send someone home for drinking late at night in the olympic village. So that is apparantly far worse.
Raping a child doesn't lessen your athletic capabilities and allows you to humiliate your country if you lose! /s
Absolute hot take but I want him to represent his country because of that outrage.
Pedophiles and rapists worldwide don't get the punishment they deserve by court, despite potentialy ruining a childs future with the trauma they have to live with for the rest of their life. And the bare minimum punishments enables the rapists to continue being a danger for society.
If it really needs a worldwide outrage to get them under harder punishment, then I am all for it. Especially if it takes some shitty judges out who don't see a problem with child rape, which itself is extremely concerning.
despite potentialy ruining a childs future with the trauma they have to live with for the rest of their life
In this case a short life ending in overdose.
Could he be arrested in France for anything he’s done in the Netherlands?
Based on my limited knowledge on international laws, no.
He has competed in European championships an world tour finals already the past few years. He even married two years ago to a german female beach vollebal player and police officer.
A disgrace that dutch beach volleybal association and NOC-NSF are sending/want to send him to Olympics anyway but still he has been back competing for a while. Shame on our country
Also him - just because I raped the minor doesn't mean I enjoy it. Not enjoying it makes me not a pedophile.
As long as he said “No pedo” afterwards, all should be good, no?
Narrator: When I'm reality... He totally fucking is
Imagine someone being so good at something a country is willing to look the other way for a Child rapist
Isn't that most Athletes though?
Just the good ones
That was implied with "so good at something..."
Even those context clues couldn’t save him from his small brain energy
Roman Polanski
(insert standing ovation by hollywood here)
Hold your horses. it's not the country, it is the NOC*NSF (dutch olympic committee) who accepts this. I guess the majority of dutchees are disgusted by this guy. (at least I am). You can never be a winner with this history.
He is representing a country, idc what committee taking last call. Whole country should make this a big issue and change the verdict.
Totally agree. This just isnt known amongst the majority of Dutch people I guess. Never saw or read anything about him. We have this fucked up voice of holland situation going, and this is way worse. If this is publicly known, there will be outrage.
I actually knew about the case, but I assumed that his sports career was ruined. This was quite a surprise actually.
If he actually goes to the olympics, I wouldn't find it improbable that he will get a lot of shit thrown at him. So he might just decide to stop after anyways.
I do wonder if he is still allowed to give training to girls, I would certainly hope not.
I do see on his Linkedin that he is studying psychology at the open university.
Fellow Dutchie here, can we lock this man the fuck up please. I don't want our country to be associated with people like him.
its your country that set him free early actually. He got a 4 year sentence in england and returned to the netherlands to get out after a single year
Yup, I don't think even 4 years is nearly enough, that's why I'm saying we should take this man back to where he belongs, behind bars for a good while, or in any case not representing the country in something like the f'ing Olympics
Well said
Innocence = wealth X athleticism
But doesn’t that happen all the time?
Or good at dancing and making hit songs, for example…
Van de Velde admitted three counts of rape against a child in court and was sentenced to four years in prison on 21st March 2016.
Handing down the sentence Judge Francis Sheridan told him that 'a young, naive, foolish young child had formed the view that you loved her.
Only 4 years for this is crazy
The guy was chatting up a 12yo on Facebook, full on knew she was 12, then flew to the UK to meet with her, then went to her house knowing her mom was working, then took her virginity, then flew back home. He was 19, but I remember high school, you were a weirdo if you were 16 talking to a 14yo, so that's not saving him either.
In his own words, he did what he did and we're "allowed" to judge him and therefore, I am.
The guy was 22 when he raped the 12 year old girl. The pedo is turning 30 this year. The article is doing a shitty job of explaining the ages but the guy was born in 1994 according to his Wiki page.
Tbh, I read a different article in Dutch.
Pointing out that the title says that he's ecstatic about getting a second chance in beach volleyball. Yeah.
Anyway, the article said he was 19 (with the act happening in 2014) with the conviction happening in 2016, when he'd be 21/22. He's born in August (oh fuck off), so he was probably scheduled to turn 20 not too long after that. He probably waited until a summer break or some shit after graduating.
Anyway, that's why I said he was 19. In the grand scheme of things, in both cases, nobody should say "oh, he was just a kid himself", he knew very, very well what he was doing and who he was doing it to. That was a baby. He was an adult. Disgusting.
Sorry, how is he not in prison?
He was, for a measly one year
Seriously. Rapes a 12 year old, gets only a 4 year sentence, and serves only 1?! The UK should be embarrassed
Not the UK he served his time in his home country
It's a shame he gave us his consent, I was going to rape him, judgementally.
i think you should re-read what you wrote and then re-write it because, yes.
He also got the girl drunk before he raped her.
Wait what?
According to his Wikipedia article, he gave her alcohol before he did it.
Well, I guess the dutch judges are okay with child rapists representing their country
Now I understand Austin Powers fathers hate.
I read that as "Now I understand why autism powers hate" and got confused, I need a nap
Goodnight
The Dutch are probably just happy for any representation at all
Am Dutch, never heard of the guy to tbh... looks like he should be in prison and not representing NL
Neither have I, Dutch too. I'm ashamed this is allowed to happen.
Schrijf naar je lokale government representatie. Sorry voor spelling mijn Nederlands is slecht.
I speak no Dutch at all but I was able to read that, is that just English with terrible spelling that you’re trying to pass off as Dutch? /j
Nah I was born in Holland but I lived there till I was 12 so I write with a 4th grade level at the best of times.
Well that would not explain words as governments. 4th grade is more like: schrijf een boze brief naar de gemeente
I'm going to send an email to the NeVoBo ( the Dutch volleyball association.)
No they actually are not. Three golfers that qualified for this year’s Olympic got their rightful place disallowed from the Dutch Olympic Committee. Meanwhile this volleyball monster got to go.
Max Motherfucking Verstappen exists, I think they're doing fine with representation
Except for at Eurovision
What kind of weird conclusion is this? How on earth do you think people can be proud if this guy is their representation? If it depends on this guy, please stay home. We have several world champions in all kind of sports. We don't need this clown. We excel at hockey, running, swimming, racing, we had someone riding a pony, cycling, rowing, windsurfing, speedskating, that BMX dude, gymnastics, and so on.
We really don't need and don't want such an idiot to represent our country.
UK judge.
Allow him to play but everytime he starts a match, the announcers should introduce him as the Child rapist.
The best punishment now for his kind is to not let people forget what he did. Let the court of public opinion break him.
That’s all that matters anymore. The higher ups can influence but the people make the choice. If they buy, they buy. If not, then not.
Brilliant idea, genuinely!
This is what makes me question my faith in humanity. Evil shits will always exist. Nothing will ever change that. But the fact so many people are willing to ignore the vileness of this individual just because he's good at a sport just fucking disgusts me.
Better question: Why is he still alive?
Don’t forget he has a public LinkedIn
So a Youtuber who messages minors get cancelled and sports player who ra*ps gets to go to olympics?
This guy actually got sentenced to jail by a UK court and put on sex offenders register indefinitely.
In the UK, he wouldn't have been allowed but The Dutch have made their own decision how to deal with him.
cause famous and rich people never go to prison
Slap on the wrist
He pled 3 counts of raping a 12yr old and still allowed to compete? wtf 🤢🤮
How i hope the crowd starts chanting "Rapist" during his match and it becomes so distracting they escort him out of the village walk of shame style.
"Pedo Rapist" has a better ring to it.
Because the dutch justice system sucks..
I don’t get how people like him are even alive. If it was my daughter I would have killed him
Why is Europe so lenient with rapists especially child rapists
You know, we have quite many countries and all of them have their own legislations. On average prison sentences are shorter than in the USA because the whole system is different.
I know that but I feel even USA is lenient with rape sentences. It's a heinous crime that ruins the victims life. I cannot fathom how european countries are even more lenient.
But... But he's good at sports /s
because most of our politicians belong to that group
Florida man here, I’m a big fan of capital punishment for pedophilia rape. BIG FAN.
The opposite of that is sending em to the Olympics. wtf.
The child he raped wasn't the judge's.
Why has he not been hung?
This is why we need to stop preferential treatment
Why he is a free man ?
Probably identified as an asylum seeker and the judge let him go free 🤷

For anyone thinking this may be one of "those things" with weird, semi-extenuating circumstances (was drunk/high, she's very mature looking & came on to him and it was dark and it was "only" oral, etc. etc.) check this out (from 2017).
Van de Velde, who met the girl on Facebook, travelled from Amsterdam to the UK in August 2014. He raped the girl near Furzton Lake, and at an address in Milton Keynes.
The court heard he was aware of the girl's age and went to her home when her mother was out and had sex with her, taking her virginity.
That's about as pre-meditated and blatantly non-excusable as it can get.
Upon his release, Van de Velde reportedly said:, external "I have been branded as a sex monster, as a paedophile. That I am not, really not."
Well, yeah... you are.
Woodchipper!!!
I guess winning medals is more important than having role models representing your country. You’re sending the wrong message to the youth.
I've just learned about this. Absolutely disgusted
He’s guilty not accused, how is he anywhere but in jail??? should he not atleast have restrictions on his whereabouts like not around schools or say Olympic village with lots of teens?
Accused or Convicted? It makes a difference.
I am sick of dramatic headlines that don't give a complete picture of actual events or the whole story.
Steven van de Velde was sentenced in March 2016 to four years in prison.
He was released after serving just 12 months at a Dutch prison, has since been allowed to rehabilitate his Olympic career, this month sealing his spot in the national pair at the Paris Games alongside Matthew Immers.
1 year for raping a child is concerning to say the least, and I’m almost abolitionist type liberal when it comes to prisons. The fact that he’s an international athlete probably plays a role, but I don’t see why the Netherlands would want a convicted rapist and pedophile representing their country.
Punishment for rape is laughable and an absolute F you to the victims in the Netherlands. Saying this as a disgusted Dutchie.
Isn’t that what the rest of the article is for?
Isn’t that what the rest of the article is for?
Probably, but the rest of the article isn't posted
Maybe take 5 seconds to look it up and you’ll have your answer and you can save yourself from making a comment like that in a situation like this.
Make him act with Alec Baldwin 
Free man gordon frreemen rise and shine
Gordon Morgan Samuel L Hewitt Freeman Jackson rise and shine
He can hit a ball really good
He make a hitting error on a minor and pancake by the law but ends up getting an ace to the Olympics
What the fuck
How is it even possible
The moral of the story is follow your dreams! Don't let people tell you you can't do it, especially high court judges!
Ludwig looking ass
UK should've never let him leave
i dont think he is a freeman he looks european to me
Rape laws seem to be a joke everywhere... I guess because more and more big shoe people get found out as Pedo/rapists, and can't have them arrested for long now, can we?
But if you break some kind of tax law, you gonna be gone for a long time...
New idea! Olympic scott sterling challenge you smash the ball on this fucker's face as many times until you get tired sowe have a dead pedophile and everyone wins
Drake, diddy, dr disrespect, that guy. Seems like no one gets punished for pedophilia
Why is he around?
Say Steven van Der Velde, I hear you like em young...
And people still think that we have free will...
Why is he a living man
He should be in prison.
The culture around sports and pieces of shits participating in them is sad. Just look at the NFL.
His residence: neverland
Thanks to the UK justice system, he served only 1 year. Wish that was rare but would not have been surprised if he didn't go to prison at all.
I didn't think Netherlands was so weak with sex crimes punishment.
Why's he still alive?
This is more of an r/facepalm not a hol up because you don’t have to do a double take
OP sent the following text as an explanation on why this is a holup moment:
