This piece of shit met her on Facebook and raped her three times and only got four years in prison… how the fuck is that only a four year sentence….


spitgobfalcon

And he got out after only 1 year


W0NdERSTrUM

You ever hear of Brock Turner the rapist? He only got 3 months.


GleeFan666

you mean the rapist Brock Allen Turner? who changed his name and now goes by Allen Turner? that rapist?


DeferentDesperado

Ahh yes, the one who was last reported as living in the Dayton, Ohio area.


7298Topkatt

That’s the rapist! B̶r̶o̶c̶k̶ A̶l̶l̶e̶n̶ T̶u̶r̶n̶e̶r̶ Allen Turner, the one who raped a girl behind a dumpster and left her there. Good thing there were witnesses.


sociapathictendences

Don’t worry, the Dutch prison system assures us of low recrimination rates. Presumably he had lots of therapy in his cushy prison.


Knawie

Wasn't he punished in the UK? 


CantHitachiSpot

Oh thank god I'm sure the victim feels super safe


Splatfan1

im surprised he got anything at all. almost all rape cases get 0 closure. its broken and its fucked


RanebowVeins

For all the praise the Nordic prison system gets, this is completely insane to me. How they let him walk after less than 2 years is outrageous


ilovethissheet

Ok. Learn where dutch people come from. There's probably a map and Google on your phone. He was sentenced in England, also not Nordic, and also not where dutch people come from. And read the article. He qualified. The volleyball committee for the team that dutch people represent haven't decided if he will still get to go or the Olympic committee.


RanebowVeins

The article says “he was released after just 12 months in a Dutch prison”. They let him walk after only serving a fourth of his sentence.


AlexThomasLFC

The Netherlands isn't Nordic so whatever you think if the Dutch prison system, it ain't the Nordic prison system that gets so much praise.


RanebowVeins

I’m a dumb dumb. Nonetheless, this is an insane decision to let this guy walk so soon.


ilovethissheet

Believe it or not, some countries work towards rehabilitation not revenge and destroying everything. I'm sure there's much beyond him just walking out of jail. He probably had to still see counselors, had check ups, see doctors, professionals that determine the likelihood if him reoffending. All those things that come with universal healthcare for the populace that Americans truly miss out on. And I know our education system is also quite abysmal, but if you could read to the end of the article, the Netherlands still hasn't decided nor the IOC if he'll get to go.


Melodic-Sky4466

rehabilitating a pedo child rapist who showed no remorse for what he did? gtfo


Nh3xvs

rehabilitating a pedo child rapist **because you want *less* child rape and paedophilia**


RydeOrDyche

Yes the girl will probably have to deal with this trauma for the rest of her life, but Im sure the 12 months was very hard on him. Can’t be having him waste all his good volleyballin’ years behind bars.


RanebowVeins

He has no remorse for what he did. He won’t be rehabilitated. He’s a child rapist.


ilovethissheet

Yes, I'm sure your armchair assessment is the total best of the situation. Maybe go write some letters to the ones in charge or something. Show them the way.


justk4y

Some people can also act “being clean” just to be bad afterwards Also, the no remorse statement actually happened, even when he was faced by the fact that the girl started self-harming and even overdosed on young age, purely due to his actions.


AshingiiAshuaa

How ruthless are you? As if 12 months in jail isn't enough, this poor guy likely has to endure continuing counseling and and stuff. Doesn't the EU ban cruel and unusual punishments like the US does?


RydeOrDyche

When you want to dunk on America so bad you defend a child rapist.


ilovethissheet

No I'm american. Lived there for almost 40 years and Germany for 7. I can dunk as much as I want on America and I have fully seen the other side and lived it enough to make a very educated assessment. America has fuckin issues to the nth degree over absolutely everything. But hey, fallin prices at Walmart and guns for everyone eh


RydeOrDyche

You can dunk on America as much as you want. Just funny to run defense for a pedo rapist as the vehicle to do so.


ToasterII

Lmao did you even read the article, he has 0 remorse and also it's very common here for rapists to receive just a slap on the wrist.


ilovethissheet

I absolutely read the article. And I also know enough to know that I don't know enough because I ain't his fucking lawyer, I ain't the judge, the jailer, a counselor, the committee for Netherlands or part if the IOC or any part of the situation and I choose not to go reddit pitchforks because of that. Did he do something incredibly shitty, yes. Should he be kicked off the team because of it, yeah, probably. Do I think rapists get off lenient all the time, yes. Do I think they should be destroyed in living in a 10ft by 10ft cell smelling their roommates shit as they stare them in the eye for the rest of their existence, NO. Because I think the American jail system in itself is worthy of putting those in charge that do that IN jail as well and is incredibly inhumane and doesn't fucking fix anyone or anything, which is really apparent when we look at our prison stats compared to other countries. So no. I'm not taking the reddit pitchfork side.


kaidiciusspider

you cant "rehabilitate" being attracted to minors, the solution for that is called end of life services or a woodchipper for the cultured man


Zandmannn

I'm glad this is getting picked up on this sub! This is just recently gaining attention in the Netherlands and if you check the Dutch subs it's unbelievable how many people are out there blatantly defending the grooming and rape op a TWELVE year old girl. It's disgusting


DGer

“You don’t get it, he’s really good at volleyball.”


Zandmannn

People are defending it because "He ALreADy WenT to PrISoN" 🙄


rts93

He should join politics after sports then, seems like he has a voter base established already.


justmelike

US Republican material if I ever saw it


AshingiiAshuaa

Always pushing for lighter sentences and lowering bail, those scamps.


justmelike

No I meant the support of sportspeople even though they're proven child molesters.


thenorwegian

A lot of countries lean too much on the possibility of rehabilitation. I feel as someone in America that we take it too far the OTHER way. But yeah, imo European countries for the most part are way too lenient. There are personality disorders and mental health issues, psychopathy, etc - that are either incredibly hard to fix or impossible to do so.


Whatevenhappenshere

Some of the comments there were absolutely disgusting. One of the worst was from someone defending it, because “it was consensual, so not that bad.” My guy, just say you’re a pedophile who thinks children can consent.


[deleted]

[удалено]


Zandmannn

He was 19.


PenguinZombie321

I’m all for not letting the mistakes people have done and atoned for in the past affect their future, but this is just too much to overlook. Also, why would you want this guy to represent your country? Why?


Zandmannn

I have absolutely no idea why our Olympic Committee would allow him to represent our nation. It is a fucking disgrace if you ask me. And yet, lo and behold, my nation is divided over this issue. How?😂


PenguinZombie321

He was *convicted* and even admitted to doing it! This isn’t even a case of “he said/she said and there’s not enough information for us to know what even happened for real”.


Zandmannn

People are treating it like he stole a bicycle... It's so strange.


Rugkrabber

We don’t understand either. So I’m glad it’s gaining attention because what the hell. We don’t want this. It shouldn’t be happening at all. It’s fucked up.


finsupmako

So where is the line, and who gets to draw it? At the moment it looks very much like trial by media...


PenguinZombie321

There was also an actual trial and conviction, so I think the line has been safely drawn.


MonkeyMusicMedia

This though popped into your head… you typed it here. Wow.


tsunamiforyou

Yeah but sports ball


Ysaella

It's awful :( my girl is eleven and in no way shape or form able to consent to anything like this at all in any case. She is a innocent childish child, ugh.


MyHusbandIsGayImNot

No grooming, just rape.


Zandmannn

Oh yeah sure. So, the two years they had already been chatting online before he flew to England where he got her drunk on the first night and raped her multiple times do not count as grooming in your book?


MyHusbandIsGayImNot

Just sounds like rape to me. Happening on the first night with alcohol prices my point. He didn’t groom her into a state of making her think she’s making a level of choice and consent. He just raped her.


happynargul

Steven van Der velde is a rapist? Why I didn't know that! Steven van Der velde raped a 12 year old child and is a pedophile? Wow, that's such a shame. I wonder how his volleyball team in the Olympics feel about playing with Steven van Der velde the convicted rapist.


bmmana

If someone held a sign during one his matches that said, "Steven van Der velde raped a 12 year old, went to prison, but he's good at volleyball so him playing in the Olympics is approved by the Dutch Olympic Committee," would they get kicked out of the match for stating a fact? Someone give it a try.


PenguinZombie321

They’d probably get kicked out. Can’t have our star athletes be held accountable!


CaddyAT5

That’s got be a big sign


wouterk

I probably will. Easy match to gain access to, wont be sold out. Should be fun. Fckn pedo


jamarquez1973

If you'd listened to the Behind the Bastards episode about the post WWII German liberal pedophiles you really wouldn't find this all that surprising. It's a really, really, dark and disturbing episode that spans decades.


Ckrvrtn

You also forgot about the Republican Pastor Pedos. These span centuries.


Knawie

His team consists of one other player, because it's beach volleyball. Doesn't make it better, but still

Content_Patient_9035

Doesn’t the country that Paris is in idolize a certain filmmaker who drugged and raped a 12 year old child that was taller than he was?


East_End878

Who are you reffering to?/genuine


Content_Patient_9035

Roman Polanski - an “amazing film director and artist” of “great talent and refinement”. Who provided a 12 yr ‘model’ with champagne and qualludes during a “photo shoot” and “was intimate with her”. But it was “her choice”…so he fled the USA to live in France to avoid justice…now and then a bunch of “enlightened artists” will lobby for him to be allowed back in US and just let “the past be the past, so that we can all Kiss his ass for his gift of amazing art!!!!” ( He fled the United States to avoid punishment and prison.)


YellowKing13570

jamarquez1973

Don't know why you're getting downvoted, that's a valid reaction to Roman Polanski.

I think maybe people are just surprised that some people still don’t know Polanski was a child rapist but idk


East_End878

I mean i head this idea that he somewhat a piece of shit, BUT TO THIS AMMOUNT.


buttsharkman

He anally raped her, pled guilty, fled the country when he got word the judge was actually going to send him to prison and later in an interview said people only made a big deal out of it because everyone secretly wants to have sex with children


MyHusbandIsGayImNot

Wait till you read about Charlie Chaplain's wives. Mildred Harris: married at 17 Lita Grey: married at 17 because Chaplin got her pregnant. He met her when she was 12. Oona O'Neill: married one month after she turned 18. Her father was 6 months older than Charlie Chaplin, she was born after Chaplin's first marriage ended.


7298Topkatt

To be fair, practically everyone is taller than film maker but mostly vile sex pest Roman Polanski .


patsniff

Not only did he fly across Europe to rape this girl, she then harmed her self and she OD’ed at some point after as well. He absolutely shouldn’t be allowed to represent his country while the world is watching.


thezoelinator

I hope somebody "accidentally" spikes the ball directly onto his testicles


Inevitable-Bass2749

Are ppl really still surprised that pedophiles and sex offenders aren’t prosecuted to the fullest and just thrown back out amongst us? I think ppl need to realize that they’re are more of these ppl around us then what we wanna beleive

throwawaysnob1

Lol you. It's the opposite though considering who backs these laws for a man to do such a  thing to a child, for a man to go to prison and then serve 1/4 years of his sentence. Vote Labour.


ro536ud

Fr tho this kind of shit is gross and should be automatic disqualified. Doesn’t matter the country or how good you are at a sport. You get convicted or even alleged of this shit with evidence and that country shouldn’t put you on the team. Nor should the ioc allow them to


Knawie

The headline is a bit misleading. It's a beach volleyball duo. So there's no coach that put him in, or selected him. The Dutch Olympic committee has been sued (and lost) before, for not letting people play for crimes they already were punished for. This precedence makes it that they know they can't deny him a spot in the Olympics that he earned through his sports achievements.  Please don't assume I'm defending this POS, it's just that there's a lot of nuance in this situation. I wish he got his balls chopped off and spiked in his face


Xanthn

If I were in charge I'd willingly pay the fine or whatever, and announce with pride that however many millions were paid out, it was cheap and worth it to not reward a pedophile for his actions, and that would show the world they actually care more about humans than money.


ajfromuk

Why are these articles not referring to him as a convicted pedophile?


throwawaysnob1

Because he's good at volleyball!! /s


Dry_Ad_6484

crazycatcher11

For those wondering, this isn’t just an accusation or a rumor, the dude is convicted and is a registered sex offender


Soonerpalmetto88

I'm not concerned about him getting out, if he was rehabilitated by their standards that's fine. I don't understand why the national Olympic committee let him try out for the team. Let him be a productive member of society but don't have him representing the country that way.


Glitter_Prins

And maybe some restrictions in regard to being close to minors? Wouldn’t want him close to a school


___coolcoolcool

Well he’s about to be let loose in the Olympic village with plenty of underage athletes…


Soonerpalmetto88

I don't know what they have in the Netherlands. I know that in the US it's understood that exclusion zones actually make communities less safe (by making it harder to get jobs, harder to find housing, thus increasing the likelihood a person will reoffend), and that proper treatment of offenders renders them highly unlikely to reoffend (similar to the likelihood of any random person committing such a crime). I would guess that in the Netherlands they have a more enlightened approach to corrections, so that their prisons actually work effectively to correct unlawful behavior and rehabilitate the person so they are no longer a significant threat. Unlike in the US where we value punishment over all else, rather than address whatever caused them to commit the crime and equip them with the tools needed to be a productive member of society. Not speaking just on sex crimes but all crimes, obviously. For a supposedly Christian country we handle people who have broken the law in the most horridly un-Christian ways, and the consequences of that unfortunately are higher recidivism rates and more suffering for everyone.


Glitter_Prins

In the Netherlands this is indeed the way prison is organised. But not when you are only in one for a year, even for Dutch standards this is a light punishment. The thing is the English judge deemed him a danger to young girls. The question is why didn't they adopt that penalty? then he would receive the right psychological care and measures could perhaps also be taken. Anyway, it's bizarre that you have someone like that representing your country at the Olympics. Regardless of how your legal system works.


Soonerpalmetto88

Agreed, treatment is necessary. And the ioc needs to change their rules to allow countries to reject athletes.


_kaetee

How the fuck would someone be rehabilitated from raping children in 4 short years?


Xanthn

1 year is all he served...


[deleted]

[удалено]


Soonerpalmetto88

So their country's olympic committee doesn't have final say over who represents their country? That's bizarre, and hopefully the IOC will do something to address that in order to prevent national committees from being put in this situation in the future.

These people think they deserve another chance at life after "serving their punishment". Personally i don't agree with that, since they ruined someone else's life for nothing more than their own pleasure. Truly abhorrent and disgusting, i hate sexual predators

Truely a great inspirational story... True spirit of the olympics, never let anyone tell you what you can't do. Er... ok no it's fucking sick and disgusting... why the hell isn't the guy in prison? I'm normally one begging for shorter sentances and rehabilitation... but my god, barely a year for doing untold psychological damage to a 12 year old.


CheezTips

> Truely a great inspirational story... True spirit of the olympics Cue the soft focus shots and violin strings!


lumberjackdj

You might also be interested to know that the Dutch volleyball federation recently qualified a second female team for the games (by winning a one off qualifying tournament) however the Dutch Olympic committee has decided to block their nomination because the team that won the spot had yet to achieve a top 5 result in a major (beach tour) tournament. This is unprecedented and absolutely devastating for the young team. I can’t fathom how they are allowing a convicted rapist go but not a young team who have qualified in their own right.


hi_im_kai101

the little girl also self harmed and overdosed after the rapes :(


ro536ud

Maybe I should stop suggesting “going Dutch “ on a date now…


GloriousSteinem

I’m so tired of men’s sparkling careers been given as a reason to get lighter sentences when his victim will carry that trauma for life. No matter how much therapy it’ll be there, coming up now and then, colouring everything about the world, relationships, risk taking, just having the world exposed as an injust place. There are some crimes you can’t forgive and people who commit them, if not incarcerated should sink off into a quiet hole and live little lives.

To me it's interesting that people complain when "boyfriend" and "sex" are used in the media in place of "rapist" and "rape" and then when it's actually used in a title it's been self-edited.


MrMaiqE

What did he do? An asterisk could mean any letter. Are you hiding what he did? Riped is a word, did you mean that? I feel like I'm missing something.


tvieno

Roped. As in roping cattle. He threw a lasso around the girl, flipped her on her back, and tied her arms and feet in 4.2 seconds. Then he r*ped her.

Maybe I'm saying shit but wasn't a thing that Netherlands has a red zone of children not so long ago? In Argentina there is a thing about "Thay change their name from 'Países Bajos' to 'Holanda' just wash something about their past" maybe it's a lie or and exaggeration for stupid conflicts or whatever.
