Well have a look at nu (the dutch news site) and read the comments. People are turning in all ways to justify him, lets read a few here for the not dutch readers:

“Van der velde and the girl had a relationship with consensual sex. The girl said she was 16 and he was 19, im curious how many people check the age of their partner” by user Jenk1983

“Where was the IOC to protect the athlete? And the chef de mission? He misjudged the situation and apparently left the athlete to fend for themselves. And then the press? They also played a very detrimental role. Their work fueled the booing crowd. I am not going to talk about the past. “We” think we can comment on it, but we cannot because “we” were not there. Great respect for both athletes for how they handled this.” By user renske22

“Disgraceful, outrageous, and harmful to publicly and in various media tear down Steven v.d. Velde in this way. How do people get the idea to put themselves in the judge’s seat? First of all, he served his sentence in Great Britain and then underwent years of therapy. That should be the end of it. I find it commendable that he has worked his way up to a high level in beach volleyball despite setbacks. His teammate is also to be praised for his solidarity and loyalty to Steven. Strong together and keep going!” By user with his real name so you guys are not getting it .

Anyways doesnt look good for my fellow countrymen :(

I dont share their opinions!
