Stanford University students say they plan to protest at their commencement ceremony on Sunday, demanding that the school release the names of students found guilty of sexual assault.
It may not come as a shock that students at Stanford University have announced a plan to protest sexual assault on campus at the university's commencement ceremony on Sunday.
But the focus of this protest isn't Brock Turner, the swimmer found guilty of raping an unconscious woman, whose clean-cut media headshot and short jail sentence have spurred outrage and discussion across the country....

Judge Who Sentenced Brock Turner Believed He Was Sorry
A newly released court transcript shows Judge Aaron Persky considered that both Turner and the woman he assaulted were intoxicated.
The judge who sentenced former Stanford University swimmer Brock Turner to a lenient six-month jail term for sexually assaulting an unconscious woman believed he was “remorseful,” even though Turner never admitted guilt, according to a newly released court transcript.
Judge Aaron Persky’s explanation of the punishment he imposed at the June 2 hearing in California’s Santa Clara County Superior Court shows that he considered whether Turner, 20, was sorry, and that both Turner and his victim were intoxicated.

Ken Burns Implores Stanford Graduates To Believe Sexual Assault Survivors
Students also demonstrated at commencement over how Stanford has addressed sexual violence.
During a commencement speech at Stanford University on Sunday, filmmaker Ken Burns made a plea for graduates to believe survivors of sexual assault.
“Look, I am the father of four daughters,” Burns said. “If someone tells you they’ve been sexually assaulted, take it effing seriously and listen to them.”
The comment elicited a large round of applause from the audience in Stanford Stadium.
Burns referenced a letter written by a woman who was sexually assaulted on the Stanford campus in January 2015 by Brock Turner, who was then a freshman at the university. The letter, which Turner’s victim read aloud at his sentencing this month, circulated widely and drew international attention to the case. Turner received a six-month jail sentence for three felony counts of sexual assault, a sentence most people have called far too lenient.

Movement to Recall Stanford Rape Judge Aaron Persky Adds Three New Consultants
Public outcry in the Stanford rape case has already sparked the creation of several petitions for an impeachment hearing against the judge who handed down a sentence of only six months in jail. While the success of those petitions are the result of a grassroots movement by everyday citizens, the Recall Judge Aaron Persky campaign is amping up their protest by adding three professional political consultants to their team to keep the signatures coming in and get the votes needed to send Persky packing.
Media consultant Joe Trippi, pollster Paul Maslin, and campaign strategist John Shallman boast impressive resumes, including Trippi’s previous work for Democratic presidential candidates, Maslin’s work with California Gov. Jerry Brown and members of Congress, and Shallman’s previous work with the California Senate on the “yes means yes” law in California, requiring college campuses to address the issues regarding consent on campuses.

US Campus Sex Assault Case Sets Off Storm of Controversy
When an Olympic hopeful swimmer attending prestigious Stanford University was recently sentenced to six months in a county jail for the sexual assault of a woman at a fraternity party, social media erupted with fury. The case drew so much attention that Vice President Joe Biden weighed in on the issue with an open letter supporting the victim.
She has chosen to remain anonymous but spoke out on her own behalf in a letter aimed at her attacker.
Interest in the case has been intense in part because victims rarely come forward to address their attackers publicly, and it has put a spotlight on what many see as the U.S. justice system's tendency to go easy on affluent, white defendants.
The swimmer, Brock Turner, was sentenced June 2 for three felony convictions of sexual assault, committed in January 2015 outside a fraternity party on campus.
Washington Post:
The Stanford sex offender’s beliefs about sexual assault are surprisingly widespread
“You can put a college student rapist on a lie detector test and they will pass."
After former Stanford University student Brock Turner was found guilty of sexual assault, his childhood friend penned a letter to the California judge who would decide his fate. Leslie Rasmussen, 20, asked Judge Aaron Persky, “Where do we draw the line and stop worrying about being politically correct every second of the day and see that rape on campuses isn’t always because people are rapists?”
Her remarks, which have faced criticism online, reflected a surprisingly widespread attitude on college campuses about sexual assault. The stereotypical predator is a stranger with a weapon, crouching in the bushes. Turner, however, is a freshman and all-American swimmer at a prestigious school.

Stanford sexual assault: students plan graduation protest as anger grows
The rape survivor support group meeting at Stanford University on Tuesday started with birthday cake. But when the sweets were gone and the birthday song ended, the pain began again.
“Did you guys want to talk about your feelings about the Brock Turner case?” one woman asked, shaken and emotional. “I’m feeling really sad and angry.”
Just days earlier, Turner had been sentenced to six months in jail, after being convicted of sexual assault and facing 14 years in prison. The former Stanford freshman was caught assaulting an unconscious woman behind a frat house dumpster in 2015. He blamed the school’s “party culture.” His father pleaded for leniency so “20 minutes of action” wouldn’t ruin his son’s life. The victim’s statement has been widely read and shared and the case has caused international outrage.
The two-hour support group meeting stretched into five. When it ended around midnight, the women had a plan: to protest Sunday’s commencement ceremony while the world was watching. In recent days, others both on campus and off have joined forces with them. There will be signs, bicycle billboards, a plane flying over campus pulling a banner.

Rapist’s mother wrote letter to judge complaining about decorating — and not one word about the victim
Brock Turner’s mother did not mention the victim of his assault in a letter to Judge Aaron Persky, but she did discuss the effect of his actions on their home, the Fresno Bee reported.
“We moved into our home on Jan. 17 2015. Then we got that fateful call from Brock on Sunday the 18th and our world has been spinning apart ever since,” Carleen Turner wrote. “This house now reminds me of the horror of that moment. I have not decorated the house nor have I hung anything on the walls. I am a mom who loves family pictures but I haven’t had the heart to put photos around of our family being happy.”
The letter also does not make direct reference to the former swimmer’s attack on the unconscious woman, instead saying that his account of what transpired had not changed and that he was “trying to fit in with the swimmers he idolized.”

Anger over Stanford rape verdict shows activism is paying off
As outrage tore across the country over the wrist slap of sentence in the Stanford sexual-assault case, rape survivors and their advocates quietly celebrated.
The anger meant the decades of activism, the efforts to eliminate a victim-blaming rape culture were finally starting to sink in.
And yet, the six-month sentence for a former Stanford student who sexually assaulted an unconscious woman outside a fraternity party — as well as disturbing statistics about continuing danger to women — indicate a campus culture that still doesn’t fully understand when physical interaction turns into a felony. That no truly means no.

Brock Turner case fallout: Prospective jurors refuse to serve under judge
PALO ALTO -- At least 10 prospective jurors who oppose Judge Aaron Persky's decision to spare former Stanford swimmer Brock Turner prison for a sex crime refused this week to serve on a jury in an unrelated case he is handling.
"I can't be here, I'm so upset," one juror told the judge while the lawyers were picking the jury in the misdemeanor receiving stolen property case, according to multiple sources.
Another prospective juror stood up and said, "I can't believe what you did," referring to the six-month county jail sentence Persky handed to Turner, who was convicted of sexually assaulting an unconscious intoxicated woman last year outside a Stanford University fraternity party.

‘We’re horrified’: At Stanford, the impact of a sexual assault is searing
PALO ALTO, Calif. — It could have been mistaken for any other late afternoon in the expectant days before graduation. Seniors shuttled four years of possessions from the Kappa Alpha fraternity into waiting U-Hauls that would carry them away from Stanford for the last time.
But the students weren’t talking just about commencement, or summer, or jobs ahead. Their conversations this week, like so many on this elite campus these days, kept turning to sexual assault.
Ravishly
I often find myself fixated on the maddening unfairness of just how little time it takes to break a human.
Content notice: sexual assault, drug use, alcoholism, suicidality.
When I was 14 years old, I was sexually assaulted by a group of older boys I thought were my friends.
They tricked me into “trying out” a pair of handcuffs, which I let them slip onto my wrists, thinking I was in on the joke.
I wasn't.
Trauma does funny things to time — it bends and stretches it, turns minutes into hours, leaves merciful holes that protect you from the worst parts, the parts your brain might not be able to handle without breaking.

Stanford sexual assault: The shocking case that shows the reality of campus rape
Here are the facts. A 20-year-old former swimmer at Stanford University sexually assaulted a 23-year-old woman in January 2015. They had both been at a campus party. She ended up unconscious behind a dumpster as he ‘thrusted’ on top of her.
Two people were cycling past when they saw the assault. They dragged him off and the woman was taken to hospital. She woke up with dried blood and bandages on her hands and elbow. Her knickers were gone. Her vagina was sore, and she had no idea what had happened to her.
Her attacker, Brock Turner, was caught by the police and convicted on three charges of sexual assault including intent to rape – crimes that carry a maximum sentence of 14 years in jail.

In April, a jury found Batey guilty of three felony counts including aggravated rape and two counts of aggravated sexual battery.
He was immediately remanded into custody and must serve a mandatory minimum sentence of 15 to 25 years in prison.

Festival Drops Band Whose Drummer Supported Brock Turner
Good English’s drummer blamed political correctness for the ex-Stanford swimmer’s sexual assault conviction.
A New York City music festival on Tuesday dropped a band from its lineup after the group’s drummer wrote a letter seeking leniency for Brock Turner, the ex-Stanford swimmer convicted of sexual assault.
Leslie Rasmussen, of the Ohio band Good English, defended her childhood friend Turner, 20, and blamed political correctness and underage drinking for his arrest and conviction after two grad students caught him sexually assaulting an unconscious woman behind a dumpster on Stanford’s campus in 2015.
“I don’t think it’s fair to base the fate of the next ten + years of his life on the decision of a girl who doesn’t remember anything but the amount she drank to press charges against him,” Rasmussen wrote in a letter, obtained by The Cut, to Santa Clara County Superior Court Judge Aaron Persky. “I am not blaming her directly for this, because that isn’t right.

Why Brock Turner Wasn’t Technically Convicted of Rape
While Brock Turner, the ex-Stanford student who sexually assaulted an unconscious woman behind a dumpster last year, has formally been sentenced on three counts of felony sexual assault, he is not being described as a convicted rapist in the media. Many people have been asking why. Here's your answer. Warning: It's pretty unsatisfying.
In California, rape is defined as someone using "physical force, intimidation, duress, or threats to persuade the victim to engage in sexual intercourse." In the case of Turner's rape of an unconscious woman, witnesses and testimony determined that Turner penetrated his victim with a foreign object, not a sexual organ. His victim, who read powerful testimony in court directly addressing Turner, explained what she learned after the attack:

Former football star Brian Banks, who served five years in prison for rape he didn’t commit, disgusted by Brock Turner ruling
Brian Banks, a promising high school football player who had committed to play at Southern Cal, was an innocent man accused of rape. He remembers sitting at the defendant's table 13 years ago and not one person in the courtroom would look at him or talk to him or acknowledge him.
"It was like I was not even in the room," he said Monday. "I felt like I wasn't a human being. I was a number."
He naturally has been paying close attention to the rape case of Stanford swimmer Brock Turner, 20, who was convicted on three felony counts related to a 2015 sexual assault on an unconscious and intoxicated woman, who is now 23. Santa Clara County Superior Court Judge Aaron Persky sentenced Turner on Friday to just six months in county jail — he could get it reduced to three months with good behavior.

This judge's sentencing is rape culture at work.
A judge just sentenced a Stanford University star athlete--who was caught in the act of sexually assaulting an unconscious woman--to only six months in jail.
Why? Because the judge, Aaron Persky, worried that a prison sentence would have a "severe impact on him"--yes, the rapist--and said, "I think he will not be a danger to others." It's a horrifying example of rape culture: when a judge is more concerned with the well-being of a rapist than with justice or public safety. This judge has no business staying on the bench.

Remove Judge Aaron Persky from the Bench For Decision in Brock Turner rape case.
We the people would like to petition that Judge Aaron Persky be removed from his Judicial position for the lenient sentence he allowed in the Brock Turner rape case. Despite a unanimous guilty verdict, three felony convictions, the objections of 250 Stanford students, Jeff Rosen the district attorney for Santa Clara, as well as the deputy district attorney who likened Turner to " a predator searching for prey" Judge Persky allowed the lenient sentence suggested by the probation department. Turner has shown no remorse and plans to attempt to overturn his conviction. Judge Persky failed to see that the fact that Brock Turner is a white male star athlete at a prestigious university does not entitle him to leniency. He also failed to send the message that sexual assault is against the law regardless of social class, race, gender or other factors. Please help rectify this travesty to justice.

To Brock Turner’s Father, From Another Father
Dear Mr. Turner,
I’ve read your letter to the judge on behalf of your son Brock, asking for leniency in his rape conviction.
I need you to understand something, and I say this as a father who dearly loves my son as much as you must love yours:
Brock is not the victim here.
His victim is the victim.
She is the wounded one.
He is the damager.
If his life has been “deeply altered” it is because he has horribly altered another human being; because he made a reprehensible choice to take advantage of someone for his own pleasure. This young woman will be dealing with this for far longer than the embarrassingly short six months your son is being penalized. She will endure the unthinkable trauma of his “20 minutes of action” for the duration of her lifetime, and the fact that you seem unaware of this fact is exactly why we have a problem.

Watch a CNN Anchor Read the Stanford Sexual-Assault Victim's Powerful Letter to Her Assailant
rock Allen Turner, the former Stanford swimmer found guilty on three sexual-assault charges in March, received his sentence last week: six months in a county jail. During the sentencing hearing Thursday, Turner's father argued that his son, who had been discovered on top of an unconscious woman behind a dumpster last January, should not be punished severely by the courts for "20 minutes of action." Judge Aaron Persky apparently agreed, explaining that he declined to give Turner the maximum sentence of 10 years in state prison—or even six years, as prosecutors had asked—because "a prison sentence would have a severe impact on him."
But the victim's own words about the assault and its impact—a moving 7,000-word statement directly addressed to Turner in the courtroom—lit up the internet this weekend: BuzzFeed's article alone has racked up more than 5.4 million views.

Clementine Ford: This is what a rapist really looks like
What does a rapist look like?
If you were to judge this according to the stereotypes put forward by a rape culture, you'd probably call to mind someone ominous and foreboding. The person you're picturing is almost certainly male, aged somewhere between 25 and 40. He might seem quietly angry, with a discernable air of violence about him. You know, a 'scary' type. You're probably not imagining him as wealthy, and this is reflected in the way you've chosen to imagine his choice of dress. You're likely to be picturing him in a secluded, but public area. An alleyway, perhaps, or a park late at night.

The Stanford Rapist’s Father Offers An Impossibly Offensive Defense Of His Son
Former Stanford University student Brock Turner was found guilty Thursday for sexually assaulting an intoxicated, unconscious woman at a campus fraternity party last year. He was sentenced to six months in a county jail with probation, a ruling state officials argued was too lenient for the violent crime. Now, Turner’s father, Dan, has reportedly written a letter in opposition to his son’s sentence, blaming the case for damaging Brock’s “happy go lucky” nature and loss of appetite.
“Now he barely consumes any food and eats only to exist,” Dan Turner reportedly writes. “These verdicts have broken and shattered him and our family in so many ways.”
The letter was posted on Twitter by Michele Dauber, the Stanford law professor who helped draft new university procedures for penalizing sexual violence.

Campus rapist given lenient sentence to avoid "severe impact on him"
Former Stanford University athlete Brock Allen Turner, 20, raped an unconscious woman behind a dumpster. Prosecutors wanted him put away for 6 years, but the judge, Aaron Persky, gave him 6 months to avoid being unnecessarily harsh on the boy. He'll be out in a few weeks.
After a jury convicted Turner of sexually penetrating an intoxicated and unconscious person with a foreign object, prosecutors asked a judge to sentence him to six years in California prison. Probation officials had recommended the significantly lighter penalty of six months in county jail, according to the San Jose Mercury News.
The judge, Aaron Perksy, cited Turner’s age and lack of criminal history as factors in his decision, saying, “A prison sentence would have a severe impact on him … I think he will not be a danger to others.”
This was described as a "brazen" attack: he was physically forced off of his victim, then chased down and detained by passers-by until police arrived. Yet this column, by Scott Herhold, was the sort of coverage he enjoyed in the press:

Herhold: Brock Turner deserves county jail, not state prison, for Stanford sex assault
Santa Clara County Superior Court Judge Aaron Persky will have to perform a legal incantation Thursday if he follows a probation recommendation and sentences Brock Turner to county jail rather than state prison. Persky should do it. Turner doesn't belong in prison.
The former Stanford swimmer, 20, was convicted of three felony charges in late March in connection with the sexual assault of an unconscious woman outside a fraternity party on campus in January, 2015.
Turner was rightfully convicted. I wrote a column earlier this year praising the two Stanford students, both from Sweden, who interrupted the assault and chased the drunken athlete down.
