Heartbreaking news. Rapist Steven Van de Velde has arrived to Olympic Village.
HOW is he allowed to be an Olympiad?!
Share this and other petitions to get him blocked. Keep sharing.
Just this week a Olympic horse rider was banned for whipping her horse. Yes, her actions against a innocent animal were atrocious. She has been banned for life from competing.
Other Olympic athletes are not allowed to wear headscarves or face being banned. Over a headscarf!
And Olympic a track athlete was banned for cannabis.
What did they all have in common. They were all women athletes. Yet, none of those women groomed a 10 year old and then raped her when she was only 12!
None of those women harmed a 12 year old child!
We know a man who harmed, groomed, raped, a child. A child!
The IOC allowing this to happen, is saying women athletes are held accountable for their actions (even non-criminal actions or held against their own for what they wear/how they look/religious beliefs) but men, no men are not held accountable even when they have raped a child.
This tells the world & sexual assault survivors that men can rape children and still be Olympic athletes.
Not ok.
IOC put a stop to this NOW. Hold ALL your athletes to the same code of conduct values. Do not pick and choose men vs women.
Sexual offenders/Rapists have no place in the Olympics. Period.
