You may have read the account of the girl who was unconscious and raped behind a dumpster at a frat party at Stanford Jan 17th 2015. Her assailant got six months possibly down to three for good behaviour.
The father of a former Stanford University athlete convicted on multiple charges of sexual assault has said his son should not have to go to prison for “20 minutes of action”.
Brock Turner, a former swimmer at Stanford University, was on Thursday sentenced to six months’ imprisonment and probation for sexually assaulting an unconscious woman.
I went to Stanford.
I read the girls statement and I am sobbing.

I am sitting here sobbing. I was a student at Stanford but I refused to live in a frat house and I don't drink and I loved my time there.
I feel ashamed that my university still has this awful attitude to rape. I went back to Stanford last summer and walked around remembering how wonderful it was for me to be there. then I went over to Berkeley campus and there were rape education posters/consent posters everywhere. I agree with this survivor.
As a survivor of rape myself, it can take seconds to rape someone, but those seconds have changed the last three decades for me. I have been damaged in ways I never thought was possible. The message should be loud and clear: it doesn't matter who you are, how successful or entitled you feel you are, if you rape and sexually assault someone - you don't get leniency. the only way this man can really convince me he is serious about changing is if he manages to change the view of drunken students about consent. If she can't say yes to a cup of tea, then don't make her tea. If she can't say yes to intercourse, don't make her suffer intercourse - just like you wouldn't pour tea down her unconscious throat.
