Peer pressure to do it completely alone without any peers around...
How did I miss this?!
One needs to recognize the influence that peer pressure and the attitude of having to fit in can have on someone.
Change “drunk raping” to “drunk driving” and change “will have to emotionally deal with the fact that I was raped for the rest of my life” to “I’m in a wheelchair for the rest of my life” and there is no way this guy only gets three months.
I’ll just leave this here.
Three months? He’s gonna miss the whole summer. Man, rape just isn’t worth it.

DAMN YOU, PARTY CULTURE
A guy who did his own fair share of sexual assaulting back in the day, I would imagine.
I’ve lost two jobs solely based on the reporting of my case. I wish I never was good at swimming or had the opportunity to attend Stanford, so maybe the newspapers wouldn’t want to write stories about me.
This entire statement reads as if he’s apologizing for puking on her shoes. And really, there is no apology in it, because there is no admission of guilt, because it doesn’t even mention what he did.
I hereby announce my candidacy for Santa Clara County Judge to run against the unopposed incumbent Aaron Persky, the judge who administered such a light and atrocious sentence. I am obviously more qualified to be a judge than this man.
I’m as dumb as the rapist who’s painted himself as the victim because I made a joke about his intelligence?
Can you guys (I know the writer most likely doesn’t choose headlines) call him “Stanford rapist Brock Turner” instead of “Stanford swimmer.” He was convicted as a rapist, so that’s what he is. I don’t give a shit if he was a fucking real-life Quidditch player, the horrible shit he’s done deserves to be branded on him…
My dad used to be a real asshole who drank a lot.
I want to demolish the assumption that drinking and partying are what make up a college lifestyle.
I went to UGA during undergrad one of the years we were ranked the #1 party school (nbd) and I spent the absolute drunkest years of my life there. I was blacking out on a weekly basis. To this day, I have a lingering shame that I feel anytime I go back to visit. That being said, I never once got even remotely close to…
People aren’t hammering home enough that he fled on foot when caught. NO ONE reacts that way to “sex” getting interrupted; that’s only how one flees the scene of the crime.
Man, I haven't seen a shittier Cardinal rape apology since Bernard Law.
