Steven van de Velde, a convicted child rapist, is set to compete in the Paris Olympics for the Netherlands, causing controversy. Despite his past conviction for raping a 12-year-old girl in 2014 and serving just over a year in prison, he has been welcomed back into the Dutch volleyball community and qualified for the Olympic team. Dutch Volleyball Federation and Olympic organizers stand by their decision, citing expert advice on low risk of repeat offense. The international media has expressed outrage over his participation, while the Dutch response has been more subdued, emphasizing his status as a member of society. Van de Velde's inclusion in the Olympics has sparked strong reactions globally but has not generated significant controversy within the Netherlands.
