The outrage continues to flow following a court ruling that sentenced a convicted Stanford University swimmer of intent to rape among other assault charges to six months in prison.

Stanford University, a prestigious school on the west coast in California, home to some of the brightest kids and best athletes in the country. Though, it is also home to careless college students; one in particular. Brock Turner, 20 year old all-star swimmer, and rapist.

Turner had been convicted of penetration of an intoxicated person, penetration of an unconscious person, and intent to rape an unconscious/intoxicated person back in March of 2015. When in court, the victim had written a 12-page letter to her attacker, vividly describing her night and her attack, how it affected her, and what it is like to be brutally raped and to have little recollection of it.

Turner’s father on the other hand, wrote a letter indicating that the judge should consider that Turner’s  “20 minutes of action” should not be the only thing considered in sentencing him.

Well, 20 minutes of action should therefore result in 20 years in prison, but Santa Clara County Superior Court Judge Aaron Persky thinks otherwise. And people are outraged.

Persky had hit Turner with only six months in prison when the rightful punishment should be significantly longer. Average sentencing for convicted rapists is somewhere around 11.8 years, yet this young man got out with six months? Prosecutors had asked for the sentence to be six years, and the judge’s response to that and the entire situation was simply, “A prison sentence would have a severe impact on him, I think he will not be a danger to others.”

Though, 191,000 people had signed a Change.org petition looking to recall Persky. Brock Turner’s father had stated as a defense claim, that since the attack, his son is  “having trouble eating his favorite food — steak.” Yes, believe it or not, his father said that, and somehow discussing his son’s appetite during court helped lower the sentencing.

With all that being said, let’s put it into perspective; if you had a daughter and that happened to her, would you feel just as outraged as all the others? But if you had a son and he had done that, where would you then stand?
