there is alcholism in my family—that is how i learned to stay away from alcohol and people who use it as a crutch to get through life. it’s really not impossible to avoid. more and more people are choosing alcohol-free lives/limiting their alcohol intake to a minimum all the time. he has no good points. it’s…

He will not care.

Well, Like I said, the advice is sound. Bad people exist and it’s a good idea to protect ones self.

No just no, I highly doubt she planned on leaving herself in such a situaton. Jesus.

You don’t seem to understand that women take one sip of beer and it’s open season. Or their skirt was “too short”. Or they did or said something that the guy in question thought was a “come-on”. Or they were alone. Or they shouldn’t have gone to a frat party in the first place.

Nope, I can’t echo that. He deserves a tortured conscience, no one deserves rape.

No. If she were my daughter, the first question - the only question - I would ask her is “How can I best help and support you through this?” Because I have a functioning soul, and am not a victim-blaming piece of shit. Any parent who would respond to their child being raped by lecturing them on what they did wrong is…

I’m not going to call you a wannabe racist like the others, but I hope I can show you why your statement is wrong.
Because she isn’t placing herself in danger. Sleeping outdoors isn’t particularly dangerous. Nature isn’t going to rape me... Without violent and aggressive humans, a lawn is pretty safe.

People like you are the reason why she likely spent most of the last 500 days blaming herself for what happened to her, just like other rape victims do. Feeling angry towards herself, instead of towards her abuser. “I shouldn’t have worn such revealing clothing.” “I shouldn’t have gotten drunk.” “I should have asked…

Seriously, that is an amazing statement for the court. Where are the tears for this promising young woman? Why isn’t she worthy of the court’s sympathy and understanding?

It’s exactly what you are doing. If you get so drunk in front of a frat house the bad time should be waking up fucking embarrassed in front of a frat house with a blinding hangover.

feel free to dismiss the comment of the troll saying disgusting shit to you. it makes them disappear.

You are excusing what he did by stating “What did she expect?” She expected to be left alone and not be raped. That’s really not expecting too much of someone that they don't sexually assault the first helpless person they see.

That’s exactly what youre doing.

I don’t think it will “embolden” him.

I hope she uses her writing skills to keep speaking out against him and rape culture. Her voice is compelling, and even if this judge couldn’t bother to listen, others will.

I hope so too. Let us give thanks for the infallible memory of the Internet.

I hope every woman he ever dates, googles him and reads what he said, reads what she said, reads what the MALE eyewitnesses said, and drops him cold. I hope he dies alone with his blow-up doll.

If anything this will just embolden him, and all other rapists like him. All they have to do is take a sip of beer and they won’t go to ‘real’ prison.

Fuck’s SAKE.
