Steven van de Velde was sentenced to four years in prison in England in 2016 for raping a 12-year-old girl when he was 19 .
He has served his time and openly expressed regret for what he called the biggest mistake of my life’ But is that enough for him to be allowed to represent the Netherlands at the Olympic Games ? International media and support groups for victims of sexual violence certainly do not think so.
Many condemned the decision to let him play, and called on the International Olympic Committee to investigate how he had been allowed to compete.
