Trial by e-mob
By now everybody has heard of Brock Turner, the swimmer-turned-rapist who received a six-month jail sentence for sexually assaulting a fellow student at Stanford University. Turner, 20, took advantage of a drunk woman’s unconsciousness to assault her behind a dumpster, stopping only when two other students physically hauled him away from her and sat on him until police arrived. Prosecutors urged Judge Aaron Persky to sentence Turner to at least six years in prison, while probation officials called for a more lenient sentence. At the sentencing, Turner’s father read a letter in which he said that prison was “a steep price to pay for 20 minutes of action.” In the end, the judge gave him six months in county lockup, of which he may serve as little as three months. He must also register as a sex offender for the rest of his life and participate in a sex offender rehabilitation program.
