A tale as old as time: rapist with a sporting talent given a free pass so he can continue his professional career.
Dutch volleyball player Steven Van de Velde admitted three counts of rape 12-year-old British girl in 2016, was sentenced to just 4 years, then allowed to return to the Netherlands to complete his sentence, only to be released in 2017 after serving just ONE YEAR.
Upon release, Van de Velde said: "I have been branded as a sex monster, as a paedophile. That I am not, really not."
He quite literally is a paedophile rapist and now he's a paedophile rapist going to the Paris Olympics...
