@Gurovski The only one who should be defended is a child who was R. Stop defending children R-st. He knew she was 12 years old. It doesn’t matter where her parents were, even if her parents neglected her that doesn’t give him the right to R-ape a child or anyone else. Stop victim blaming. He was an adult, in Europe you’re an adult at 18. You are the troll here and you know that, but trolling about child that was R-aped is disgusting. He should be in jail and he’s life should never get back to “normal” let alone to participate at the Olympics. You should be investigated, someone who defends a child R-st is most certainly the same.
The internet tells me - He was 20 and picked up a 12 year old on facebook. He travelled to the UK to her house, somehow her parents weren't home, got her drunk, had sex multiple times. The victim had mental issues afterwards and tried to commit suicide. He pleaded guilty, was sentenced to 4 years but actually only served 1 year.
As bad as putting him in the team is...he wait for the court sentencing lasted longer than his sentence. One year. Now he'll be in the camp with other children that compete...
Not quite. If he was French and raped a 12 years old, he would have served 6 months in jail max. He will be just fine in here. That's ironic, i'm French...
This "man" describes the evil act he committed as "a mistake". Mistakes are unintentional; what he did was of his own volition - he is trying to imply that somehow he's not responsible for his vile attack on that poor girl. That tells you all you need to know - he's a monster. PS. Certain transgressions are so despicable that they can NEVER be forgiven. The "man" is a pariah.
This man has served his sentence and is OK to continue living his life. We don't need to punish people for life when their sentence was only a few years. Stop being cringe.
@@BiIboSwaggins I made my opinion clear: "Certain transgressions are so despicable that they can NEVER be forgiven." Do you think a man that did that to a child was just making a mistake or committing a vile atrocity? He described it as a "mistake"! Also consider his victim - if he's in the Olympic team she might see him on TV winning a medal; she will NEVER be able to free her mind from the experience, so why should he be free from the consequences of his own crime?
Zomg. All in the name of an olympic gold for their country. The Dutch government allows this criminal to serve as a role model and representative of their country. 😧
Surely being a child predator negates your chance to represent your country at the olympics regardless of how good you are. That poor child, and here he is marching into stadiums waving and everyone cheering and claping.... it turns my stomach. Absolutely disgusting.

Disgraceful, and what about the poor 12 year old girl in all of this? It's saying to everyone, that you can still take part in the Olympic games, even if your a convicted rapist of a young 12 year old girl. What nightmares has this started for this poor girl and her family? It seems that if you are very good at sport, you can get away with any shocking crime. The elite don't have to be accountable once again.
How the hell did he get a short sentence after doing that? He should’ve been arrested for life. And to everyone shaming the 12 year old for what happened to her, shame on you. Her perpetrator doesn’t deserve freedom.
@@Innerlight320 Dude, stop. 12 year olds can’t consent no matter the situation, period. Especially considering this man raped a CHILD. There was literally no consent here at all.

It would have been better for this guy to live his live under the radar. The fact that he loves the spot light is a red flag to me.

You are so right, it seems that a lot of people don't know that PDF have @ctivist, org@nizations and politic@l p@rty there that wants to lower the @ge of consent😢 Their law use "free speech" as an excuse to allow all these horrible things. If someone hurt a ch!ld or wom3n they get only few years or some months
This is disgusting! There is no such thing as rehabilitation for a pedo, NO SUCH THING. I am horrified. The fact that he has children is very very concerning
The Olympics is no longer relevant and has lost sight of its origins. I can't see the Paris Olympics being very successful. I stopped watching events a long time ago.
Just like the British. Margaret Thatcher’s son , Mark, organised and financed military coups in Africa but the UK government protected him from facing prosecution. Do you know how many kids get assaulted or people who die as a result of military conflicts ? What the Dutch are doing is wrong, but the British are just as guilty of protecting their own privileged and rich kids 😂
If you aren't breaking the law you aren't MAGA lol. Cheer on rapists is what you're supposed to do if you tell MAGA. This guy will see much support from MTG and Gaetz in particular since be likes the kids too. Gaetz pays them though. So MAGA thinks he's cool.
I am shocked by the Dutch response! This poor girl is only 22 now, having to watch him must be unbearable for her and her family! God protect his daughter!

Even if he was a changed man every decent person would be so ashamed for what they did that they would avoid appearing in the public eye ever again in their life. But it's comprehensible that people feel they didn't commit a serious crime if they get just four years (and then serve only one).
If I were Dutch, I'd be mortified. What if the host country doesn't allow criminals into their border? I hope he does get lrevented from attending. I know their social culture is different, their justice system is nothing like the US, but allowing this individual on a team to represent your country blows my mind. Of course, his return to Holland was likely engineered with his extremely early release and return to the sport, in mind. A 12 yo is still a child. He is considered a PDFile over here.
With this horrific story in mind, one has to wonder, then, how or if the Dutch OC protects their young athletes 🤔 (thinking of the Nassar case in American gymnastics)
Like it or not, every single Olympic athlete is a role model to a child somewhere in the world. Is this guy a Dutch hero? I feel really sorry for the player who didn't get to his Olympic dream because of this creep.
And after men say the accusations false or true say that's destroy carrier of men rapist.. 😂😂😂 Big jokes. 1 or 2 years in jail and go the best competition in the world
In 2016, he was 19, near 20 at the time, she was 12... They had contact through social media, and he eventually visited her for the sole purpose of getting it on with a child. It appears that she did consent to his actions, but under English law having intimacy with an underage person still counts as assault. Which I find very reasonable. She eventually needed a morning after pill, so she went to a clinic. The people there found it suspicious that a girl that young needed a morning after pill, so they got lawinforcement involved. As a Dutchy, I didn't know about this story at all, and I assume 99% of the Dutch don't either. We only know that he's a very skillfull volleybal player. His time in jail is deplorable, but that's a hallmark of the Dutch legal system. Many offenders get off waaayyy to easy.

Suriname used to be a Dutch colony. A Dutch Suriname rapper just met Dutch king Willem Alexander in the US where afterwards Willem was asked about the pedophile and porn that the rapper made and was convicted for in Suriname. Willem said it is all forgiven because people deserve second chances. Being a rapist is not really an issue in the Netherlands.
???this is not tipical for the dutch!
For anyone shocked about the Dutch allowing this to happen has not been following how the Dutch handle their prison systems…
IOC dont step
Everyone should boycott the Olympics
Wow here in germany there is no news about this😮
This is so Terrible, however we Brits are very choosey , Den from East enders was adored in spite of the fact that he deliberately set out to murder someone and did so killing a taxi driver a family man, so we have our own sick fans
