The reason for the public outcry is From the Veldeova past. Ten years ago, he was convicted of raping a 12-year-old girl whom he met through the social network Facebook. At the time, 20-year-old Van de Velde was sentenced to four years in prison, but was released after only one year. His victim suffered enormous trauma, which caused strong reactions from the audience who did not want to see him at the Olympics.
Steven van de Velde, the Dutch athlete, paedophile and rapist we were talking about the other day, is greeted with boos. What I didn’t tell you (because I didn’t know) is that the prodigy is married to a police officer. It’s all really disgusting, but diverse, inclusive and resilient. pic.twitter.com/VKoEIUCWPX
