    IIRC convicted child rapist Steven van de Velde was competing at the olympics, and took an attitude of “I’ve served my time”, not showing much remorse. As in he felt as though it was unfair to talk about his crimes - specifically, that of raping a child - because he had spent a few months in jail and now he was an amazing athlete.
