Convicted rapist Steven van de Velde loudly booed during defeat

Convicted child rapist Steven van de Velde was loudly booed when playing for the Netherlands in their Olympic beach volleyball defeat by Norway on Friday.

Van de Velde was sentenced to four years in prison in 2016 after admitting three counts of rape against a 12-year-old British girl.

The 29-year-old came on to a low-key welcome when entering the arena in Paris with volleyball partner Matthew Immers before their third match.

However, there were vociferous boos when Van de Velde was later introduced individually to the crowd and walked on to the court at Eiffel Tower Stadium.

There were also jeers and whistling throughout when Van de Velde served during a 2-0 defeat by current Olympic champions Anders Mol and Christian Sorum.

Despite the result, Van de Velde and Immers have reached the last 16, having won one and lost two matches. The last-16 matches will be played on Sunday and Monday.
