Stanford University Rape Trial [Brock is now appealing his conviction]
 
A 23 year old women was raped by a 20-year old student (now former student) and athlete Brock Turner next to a dumpster at a house party. She was unconscious and after he raped her 2 swedish students saw the attack and chased him off and contacted the police, of course he denied all allegations of rape. She wrote a letter to the judge and to the public in general to tell her story and it's really quite painful to read but also very moving and shows how horrible it must be to have people twist the situation so that they can get away with it. The jury found him guilty however the stupid judge only gave him a 6 month sentence as he had no previous convictions which is such BS there's a petition to get him sacked because he seems to side with the rapist: http://www.independent.co.uk/news/wo...-a7067146.html

Saw this story on the Young Turks channel today. Absolutely disgraceful the short sentence he's been given.

Unbelievable bullsh*t from his Dad that Brock cant sleep or eat his favourite foods after the attack. Poor him.

I wonder what the abhorrent Dan A. Turner's warped and disgusting view will be if his son's soft little white buttocks prove too irresistible for some hairy lusty con in the jail showers and he is forcibly subjected to "20 minutes of action".

I doubt that the bastard will be as arrogantly and cruelly dismissive of the victim then.

Yes but he's not a girl of course, girls should expect to be violated :shrug:

I am not excusing this behaviour one bit. Rape IS rape. But please all young women everywhere, don't drink so much that you don't know where you are or are unconcious, because there will always be some low life just waiting to take advantage.

For anyone who didn't read her victim impact statement you should have a read, it's very powerful and she expresses herself beautifully

That was from the medical reports plus what the two Swedish men who came to her aid described

the truth 08-06-2016 11:41 AM

her description was understandably emotive and emotional and she is clearly intelligent. it did however also feel a bit contrived too.

Shaun 08-06-2016 11:47 AM

I wonder why that is, truthie x

We have a legal system for a reason, the facts were laid out and both sides spoke and the judge judged. If you dont like then that is fine but it the way the law works.

The Jury found him guilty, the judge passed sentence extremely leniently, that should be questioned and allowed to be contested imho

One could equally say 5 seconds of action to slit someones throat. Its no wonder the son behaves as he does.

That's the problem with this whole victim culture thing that's going on atm.There are so many feminists trying to say that everything is rape that when real awful rapes do happen they are not taken as seriously because people don't know if it's real or not.Hardcore feminists,in universities especially are destroying their own cause by being idiotic.
Some people will conflate real rape accusations with 'political correctness gone wrong' because the lines have been blurred so much now by this extreme version of feminism.
Feminism was a great and much needed movement but it has turned into a nonsensical man hating monster.Some real common sense needs to be injected into the whole movement so real rapes can be dealt with efficiently and properly and people will take them more seriously.

whether you subscribe to that opinion or not, this case absolutely was rape, the guy ran when the two Swedish men came to check if the girl was alright and she was lying unconscious behind a dumpster covered in cuts and dirt

Yep i believe that and the guy should have been banged up for much much longer.
I'm more talking about peoples reaction to it and statements like 'political correctness gone wrong'.I bet a good few people will have that view.If the lines hadn't been blurred so much then people would be far less inclined to jump to conclusions like that,Specially people in that student environment and especially in the US.

yeah I get what you're saying, I just wouldn't like this girls case to be tarred with that brush, all these cases are pretty unique and should be treated as such

Livia 08-06-2016 01:21 PM

If the girl was in my family I wouldn't want him in prison for long. I'd want him out where I could get to him. And his dickhead father too.
