The father of the ex-Stanford University athlete who was convicted of sexually assaulting a woman on campus has spoken out against the verdict, saying his son should not go to jail for "20 minutes of action."
Brock Turner, 19, was convicted of sexually assaulting a 23-year-old unconscious woman behind a dumpster outside of a party on the California campus. When passersby intervened to stop the attack, Brock had to be held until police arrived, according to
The Guardian. The victim was intoxicated, and did not regain consciousness until hours later, when she said that she had no memory of the encounter.
In an emotional letter that she read aloud in court,
the victim recounted the questions that she was asked by the defense about details of her love life and what she was wearing on the night that she was assaulted. She also talked about the serious psychological toll the assault took on her, describing how she lost her job and had frequent nightmares because of the anxiety and stress.Judge Aaron Persky gave Brock a six month sentence in county jail instead of the maximum of 14 years in state prison that he faced, citing his age and lack of criminal record. Persky's ruling has been widely criticized for being too lenient. "The punishment does not fit the crime," said Santa Clara County District Attorney Jeff Rosen.
Michelle Dauber, a law professor at Stanford, tweeted an excerpt from a statement made by Dan Turner, Brock's father, in which he criticized Brock's six month sentence as
"a steep price to pay for 20 minutes of action."
Comment: The majority of Americans have stopped getting their news from the TV and newspapers, which is where the propaganda from the presstitute media is most prevalent. Seems to be clear that people have realized they are being lied to and wish to get their news without the lies that surround mainstream news.
