Your pretentious pseudo-enlightened bullshit pisses me of. No, not everyone here is out for vengeance. But there's a middle ground between capital punishment and letting a child rapist go after only 13 months without them expressing remorse plus letting them represent their country at the Olympics. Travelling to another country to convince a 12 year old to have unprotected sex three times in two days, leading them to self-harm including an overdose is not "fornication", it's rape. This is not rehabilitation but a blatant failure of the Dutch justice system and society.

First of all, sorry this happened to you and thank you for your perspective on this.
There's a lot of possible middle ways between 13 months and life's over, though. I'm a strong believer in rehabilitation but there are some necessities, e.g. a sufficient level of remorse which he has not shown as far as I can tell, and basically zero chance of repetition, which to be fair seemingly is the case.
There are some things in my opinion that you should never be able to do as a convicted child rapist even after rehabilitation which includes being a primary care taker of children and representing your country at the Olympics.
“do you really want to ruin their life over this"
The problem with this statement here is that the responsibility is shifted to the victim. The victim didn't mess up the rapist's life, the rapist did. But this is not an issue of too harsh sentences of rapists but of awful training of police officers.
Under Dutch law, pressuring a 12 year old into having sex repeatedly (3 times in 2 days) is fornication, not rape. Not making this up, that's actually their reasoning.
To be fair, of course Durch authorities did not ignore that he was in prison in the UK, so they did not say one month is enough, but 13 months.
For me, there's a difference between rehabilitation and letting someone represent your country at the olympics. Athletes don't have to be perfect but to a certain extent they are ambassadors of their country and role models.
This paired with him not staying in prison for long because the Dutch legal system is fucking abysmal is reason enough for me to celebrate that he's out.
Dude, you're the one not arguing in good faith. Take a step back.
Yeah, no. We don't need to make shit up. However, we could call it trans-gender affirming care and cis-gender affirming care. Using cis will trigger these idiots anyway, no need to call it trans.
We don't need to ask him, his daughter is an adult and he treats her like shit and still dead names her. There's no strawman here.
The part about the firefox plugin?
Nicht zu vergessen, der Verband ist ein verlängerter Arm des Kremls:
Under Kremlev's tenure as IBA head, he has heavily marketed himself, moved the IBA's operations to Russia, suspended Ukraine from the IBA, and made the Russian state-owned energy giant Gazprom the sole sponsor of the IBA.

WTF? Seriously?
