    That Dutch people are apparently not as supportive of a child rapist from their country than other people from other countries are.

      You, like most people in this thread, are confusing support for a person with support for a form of punishment which is humanitarian and rehabilitative, rather than vengeful and punitive.

        How is a year in prison for repeatedly raping a 12-year-old girl either humanitarian or rehabilitative?

        He called it nonsense. He joked about finding 10-year-olds at this Olympics. He has never made a public apology. Where is the sign rehabilitation?

            Someone in another thread showed a deleted Instagram post, but I can’t find it now. I suppose it could have been a photoshop or something. Also, I don’t speak Dutch so I could only approximate that’s what it said. Anyway, the rest is definitely true.

              The times article said he was very transparent and remorseful though. I find it really bad that you people think a country would be so desperate as to let a criminal off the hook just because he’s good at some sport, it’s not like he’s a powerful politician or something.

                Oh, well if the Times article said so.

                Did they show exactly how he was remorseful? Because it didn’t include a public apology.
