In 2014, a then-19-year-old Van de Velde traveled to Britain to meet a 12-year-old girl heβd met on Facebook, fully aware of her age. In 2016, he pleaded guilty to raping the schoolgirl and was sentenced to four years in prison. Van de Velde served 12 months behind bars in Britain before being transferred to the Netherlands where he was released a month later.
Having him banned from traveling outside of the Netherlands, the country that gave him a one-year prison sentence for raping a 12yo old Is what I want.
He served his year in England where he committed the crime and was sentenced to eight. The Netherlands got him extradited and then released him in less than a month. Everyone involved in their Olympic committee that allowed him to represent their country should be fired.
Booing is a step.
Shunning would be really nice.
