In 2014, a then-19-year-old Van de Velde traveled to Britain to meet a 12-year-old girl he’d 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.
Child rape is bad enough on its own, but this dude is an athlete, he looks pretty good. He definitely had options among girls his own age. He still chose to rape a 12 year old. That means he wasn’t just willing to do it out of desperation, he actively WANTED to do it.
The scale goes even deeper
