Stanford student gets six months for rape

This echoed Turner’s own statement, in which he said he was in the process of establishing a program for high school and college students so that he could “speak out against the college campus drinking culture and the sexual promiscuity that goes along with that”.

He's only apologized for being drunk too.

This case is the perfect example of how rape culture exists. This was a slam dunk case. Two eyewitnesses, a solid rape kit, a victim who could in no way, shape, or form give consent.

And the establishment is worried about the harm to the male perpetrator.

Yes, let's keep teaching our youth that there's no real punishment for horrendous crimes that will affect the victim for the rest of her/his life.

The scariest part of this is not the fathers stupidity (yes parents do get a bit irrational when trying to protect their children) or the sentence (that sentence may be in line with other current sentencing procedures, I don't know), it's the fact that this offender doesn't seem to have the slightest clue what he did wrong

This echoed Turner’s own statement, in which he said he was in the process of establishing a program for high school and college students so that he could “speak out against the college campus drinking culture and the sexual promiscuity that goes along with that”.

He's conflating promiscuity with sexual assault, which completely ignores any impact on the victim, or even acknowledges that there was a victim

Now, I'm not a fan of the whole "rape culture" theory; but reading this article did bring me closer to being a believer. And, I think I threw up in my mouth a little bit.

I'm not even talking about his father's stupid comments. It's his son, you can't really expect a parent to react rationally about their children. But to let the guy off with basically a slap on the wrist? That's just wrong.

This here is the victim's statement. WARNING: contains a very detailed rendition of sexual assault.
