PARIS (AP) — Dutch beach volleyball player Steven van de Velde, who served time in prison after he was convicted of raping a 12-year-old girl, won his second match at the Paris Olympics and received an even harsher reaction from the crowd on Wednesday than for his first match.

“I was disappointed with the crowd, for sure,” Immers said.

Van de Velde, 29, served 13 months in prison after his 2016 conviction for raping a 12-year-old girl in England.

Asked if he understood why they received that reception, he said, “I don’t want to talk about that, if it’s OK.”.

“And I want to say there was also a lot of people supporting us, and we’re doing it for them.

This story has been corrected to show that the Dutch, not Chilean, team won the match. »
