Campus rapist given lenient sentence to avoid "severe impact on him". I think it's important that we every once and a while recognize the scum and bullshit coming from the other side. (boingboing.net)

One could argue fingering is a sexual action. Would they consider oral sex not sexual as well?
If he actually penetrated her with something like a random object, that could considered aggravated sexual assault, no?

The charge is determined by what the Crown Prosecutor might actually see stick and what kind of evidence they have available to work with. About 90% of all charges laid in Canada for this type of event are the Summary variety, because it's typically he said/she said, or there's little to no physical evidence. I don't see any aspect of this case that would make it extraordinary and move it up the chain.

The Victim Impact Statement below has gone viral (despite the huge handicap of being 13 typed pages long) because it describes so vividly what is wrong with sexual assault / rape.
It should be mandatory reading in high schools, I think there would be a lot less rapes and "drunken misunderstandings" if men understood what is at stake.
The maximum sentence for what he was charged with was six years. The probation report asked for six months. The victim says the probation report was based on a 15 minute interview which was mostly filled with her questions about process, i.e. the probation officer did not understand the case.

Take Stanford out of this equation and he probably would have gotten a more appropriate sentence.
This wasn't just a case of an accusation and one person's word against another. He was caught in the act in public on campus at a premier university. A lighter sentence it gives the appearance that the crime wasn't so bad and that's less damaging to Stanford's reputation.

Putting aside Men's Rights and Feminism for a moment, I feel as though the real problem in this case is that he comes from money. Stick a lower-income guy with an ill-fitting rental suit, no college education, no impressive athletic background, and a public defender and watch the judge give him the maximum sentence, or more likely watch him accept a plea deal and get a moderate sentence and no trial because his overworked public defender wants to reduce their caseload.
Wealth giving you a pass to do things impossible for middle or lower income people, including legal things like "Go to college" and "Hire a good lawyer" is a problem that ignores gender. Money should not buy you things like this.

I really think this letter demonstrated why there actually aren't rampant false rape accusations and why so few women bring charges against their assailant - the amount of scrutiny you're under after going through something horrific already would be unbearable unless you're an exceptionally strong person.
The trial, in her words, "forced me to relive the hurt as details about my personal life and sexual assault were brutally dissected before the public. He pushed me and my family through a year of inexplicable, unnecessary suffering, and should face the consequences of challenging his crime, of putting my pain into question, of making us wait so long for justice."
And in the end, he only got six months in jail.
Why would a survivor ever want to press charges? Go through that hell to have the judge take pity on your rapist?
[–]Celda 22ポイント23ポイント24ポイント 1日前 (0子コメント)
You're not thinking about what you're saying. There are so many things that you said that are simply wrong.
Someone who makes a false rape claim isn't going through something horrific. They weren't raped.
Also, it ignores the fact that women can and do make false rape claims for the most trivial and minor reasons. For instance, a group of four women who made a false rape claim against a cab driver because they didn't want to pay the fare. Not even just one person that you could say is mentally unhinged, but a group of four women.
Third, it ignores the fact that rape claims - whether true or false - do not all result in extreme scrutiny. For example, rape claims made to universities are often treated with extreme bias in favour of the accuser, as we've seen no shortage of examples posted in this subreddit. Even claims made to police can simply be withdrawn later (whether they were true or false), but the alleged rapist would already be arrested and harmed as a result.
Do you suppose that six months is a typical sentence for rape?
http://www.theguardian.com/society/2011/may/26/rape-sentence-average-eight-years-justice-figures
The average sentence for rape is now more than eight years – longer than the average prison term for manslaughter, according to Ministry of Justice figures published on Thursday.
That was UK.
http://www.bjs.gov/content/pub/pdf/PSATSFV.PDF
Average sentence for rape = 117 months.

I think honestly the legitimate complaints fall by the wayside way before trial. I was talked out of going to trial by a police officer. Then the dude tried to pick up what he thought was a 13 year old girl using Whisper about 4 years later (we are both currently 28) but it was actually some dude with a camera. I called to remind them I had this statement on file that he had raped me because I found out about his chat with a 13 y/o via fucking facebook (the video in town was shared by many concerned friends).
I wanted to vomit.
I wanted to stop him but I can't look at him. Seeing his face had me have a breakdown while waiting for an oil change for christ's sake.
Seeing and facing him on trial with no evidence save for one or two chat logs on facebook (we had been dating at the time), the thought of that has me fucking paralyzed. A sentence like this scares me even more.
I should have pressed the issue, even to lose. I don't care.
And Jesus Christ pressing charges as a man has got to be even worse.

The hellishness of being subject to a lawyer's questions—mind you, it was the defense attorney asking all those questions, not the police—would certainly put many people off, but that in no way means false accusations don't occur. For one, false accusers typically haven't been raped ever, and thus have little opportunity to learn the level of scrutiny their story will be subject to. Secondly, plenty of them falsely accuse just to drop the charges later, after the damage to the guy's reputation has been done, but before anyone can figure out it was a lie. Finally, plenty of false accusations never involve criminal charges, and instead aim solely to get a conviction in the court of public opinion.
Rape is a nightmare of an experience, but that doesn't stop women who haven't gone through it from failing to appreciate the gravity of what they're pretending to suffer from and exacting petty revenge for selfish reasons. I don't see why you take the experiences of real rape survivors and assume all women empathize with them enough that they would refrain from making a false accusation out of respect for their fellow women who have been raped. That seems rather presumptuous.
[–]NUMBERS2357 0ポイント1ポイント2ポイント 1日前 (0子コメント)
I think many false rape accusations are things like:
made in haste or panic, without thinking through the consequences
made in some non-criminal context, like in a divorce (where lawyers encourage abuse allegations as a way to gain an upper hand) or on college campuses, where there's a lot less of the stuff she mentioned
prosecuted in a situation where the accuser would rather not go through with it for the reasons you mention, but once the ball's rolling it's out of her hands
not a lie, but rather mistaken identity or something
or even false but sincerely believed (like "I was drunk and my memory is spotty, but there's no way I would have consented in that situation")
[–]derpylord143 -1ポイント0ポイント1ポイント 1日前 (0子コメント)
Gotta disagree, I did a piece of work for my uni course recently, and i had to look at many different sources related to false rape accusations, at the start of it, i reviewed some studies on their prevalence, it seems that about 8-12% are false, with studies concluding between 2-3% being completely unsubstantiated and based on a study that "someone recalled" in a press conference. most studies saying above 25% are incredibly unreliable, so when i wieghed up all the reliable data, the studies do suggest its about 10% based on that, there is a serious issue, if one in 10 accusations are false. if there are 900 accusations a year (probably high) thats 90 men whos lives are destroyed by mere accusation, and thats based on what the police say is false in reports based on what they view as malicious etc., and therefore doesnt factor in what isnt determined to be false because the police believed them, in fact it wouldn't surprise me if it was 15%+
[–]Runningflame570 6ポイント7ポイント8ポイント 1日前 (19子コメント)
I can understand the outrage, but I don't know that the sentence is necessarily wrong either.
The judge deemed him not to be an ongoing threat to the community and he remains on the sex offenders list for life regardless. The judge was evidently convinced that he was also severely intoxicated and wouldn't be liable to re-offend.
As long as he's on the registry his life is still over in a lot of ways.
[–]Mens-Advocate 4ポイント5ポイント6ポイント 1日前 (18子コメント)
I agree with RunningFlame. He did not rape her. Relying on ostensible earlier verbal consent, He apparently fingered and dry-humped her while himself too drunk to necessarily realise her passed out. Under those circumstances, his sentence (which includes gaol and lifetime registration) is not too lenient and might well be too severe. Further, I see no absolute proof he knew her passed out, nor absolute disproof of ostensible earlier consent. Under those circumstances, his guilt is not beyond a reasonable doubt.
[–]Vandechoz 6ポイント7ポイント8ポイント 1日前 (15子コメント)

You can't just mix-and-match shit like that. Reasonable doubt determines guilt, "mitigating factors" help determine sentencing for that guilt. They are separate.

I get that you have a vested interest in this because to you all men are innocent of everything but he was caught by two men as well and they know exactly what they saw wasn't consensual which is why he was chased and caught with a raging boner.

I guess not, when it comes to male rape victims not only being afforded any sympathy but ALSO being forced to pay child support to their rapist.
Totally has nothing to do with societal empathy for the male victim. Nada. Nothing at all.
At least thinly veil your bigotry next time.
No, it doesn't sound like he put his penis inside her (doubtlessly not from a lack of trying), but I hardly think that makes what he did any less disgusting or severe. It's not like assault only counts the moment a penis enters a vagina. And where is the earlier verbal consent? If he had verbal consent do you really think he'd run away out of clear and obvious guilt when he was caught? And even if he had earlier consent, that goes away when someone is fucking unconscious. Him being too drunk to realize that (which I doubt, but let's pretend) doesn't mean anything. What if he was driving drunk and killed somebody, would you say it wasn't his fault because he was too drunk to "necessarily realize he was driving"? Okay.
I'd love to see the shit you'd say if the situation was reversed. What if it was a woman sucking the dick of a passed out man trying to get him hard? But he gave her a back rub earlier, so that means she has the right to try and fuck him while he's passed out, of course. Of course. What he was doing was so fucked up that the men who found him knew immediately and one of them was in tears because of what he'd seen.

My opinion is that you are welcome by me to discuss and argue on this topic anything you like. This topic has been covered her at least once. Judge it yourself what the opinion of the majority of users is. I think the majority of users agrees with me that the sentence is a joke for having sex with an unconscious woman. Read rape. Maybe he comes from money, or the family has good connections, IDK. Anyway that is not a sentence which is on par with the crime. And the reasoning that "prison would have sever impact on him" is both enraging and bullshit.
For those jumping at my throat, he was found by Vikings humping an unconscious woman! So get informed, and come back later!
If you are interested, and have the time, you can see that this thread is full of posts where female teachers got away with statutory rape with similar reasons. Most users disagree with them too. Like they do with this one, if they are informed about the subject. I think it is a case where a man faces a lenient sentence, we usually hear given to women. And I personally disagree with both.
Hope you were posting this to get honest opinion of a group. Anyways, have a nice day!

Yeah. It is indeed a lenient sentencing. And this man fell under a ludicrous double standard.
These cases are probably more enraging to the public, because it is clear that the defendant is guilty and gets away easy. Hope the Guardian's idea to close prisons won't be implemented in practice.
If you are interested in other peculiar cases, 4 days ago a BuzzFeed publicized a woman who was (very likely) falsely accused of rape by a man. She was expelled, and as usual can't be accepted to another university. IIRC no police was involved, not to complicate a rape case with them. Kangaroo courts do just fine. First post, and the second post.

True, but you're leaving out that she admitted to making a false accusation of rape against the male student in "retaliation". She should have been expelled for that if not for the rape so I don't really see an injustice there.
[–]ABC_Florida -2ポイント-1ポイント0ポイント 1日前 (5子コメント)

[–]andejoh 1ポイント2ポイント3ポイント 19時間前 (4子コメント)
No I never heard of a case where the false accuser was expelled. I still assert that the false accuser should be expelled. How is it not a Title IX violation? How does it not interfere with a student's ability to get an education or enjoy the benefits of being a student? Whether it has happened before or not isn't relevant. What is relevant is whether it should happen.
[–]ABC_Florida 0ポイント1ポイント2ポイント 18時間前 (3子コメント)
What I mean is, that people should be expelled after police concluded that rape happened. If, like in this case, (IMO) both made up a rape case, it is a tricky one. Probably both should be expelled, because two wrongs do not make a right.
But obviously kicking anyone out without a real reason is more important, than punishing false accusation. Assuming not women get it worse!
[–]andejoh 0ポイント1ポイント2ポイント 16時間前 (0子コメント)
Anyway, I agree that if he made a false rape claim against her, he should be expelled also; however, I'm not sure that's true.
It was apparently a resident adviser that made the claim not
the male student based on third party statements the adviser overheard. Granted that's a messed up situation and schools shouldn't be allowed to bring action against a student based on essentially 4rth party statements, but you can't blame the male student for something he did not do.
I don't know what the male student told them. We've seen cases where the a student asserts they were not raped, but the school expels the accused student anyway. If his statements
were truthful to the best of his knowledge, he can't be held responsible for the conclusions that the school drew from them.
ie if he says I don't remember (which is apparently what happened) and either he doesn't remember or the school can't prove that he does, he can't be held responsible for the school assuming that his memory loss was do to the fact that he was drunk.
It may be another issue that the school uses the more intoxicated standard rather than incapacitated, but again you can't blame the male student for that.

I was banned from TwoXC because I read an article titled:
3 Ways Men Wanting to ‘Focus On Her Pleasure’ During Sex Can Still Be Sexist
I wanted to find out how many women agrees with that brainfart. First it was removed for using archive.is, after correcting the link it was shadowbanned. Later I posted a DailyMail article about a pupil who made up a rape case, so she can resit her exam. The article was written by a woman, and it was totally unbiased. It did not excuse her claiming mental issues, or the push to perform in school. It was totally factual. So I wanted to express my appreciation towards women, and prove to the mods that I do not generalize women after my post about focusing on her pleasure can be sexist. Result? All my submissions were labelled as troll post, to prove that I'm a troll there was a comment of mine from PPD, where I said, that the pupil's history with false claim, will hinder her in a prison, since no prison guard will believe her. Here is the screenshot taken by the mod as an explanation for my ban.
So marvelous moderators there. /r/AskWomen isn't much better, if it is at all. My comment was even removed, if I've found a girl with common interest. It was removed for derailing.

I'm not surprised by that.
In this time of what I call "hyper-feminism", especially by what I call "so-called" feminists, just about anything said by a male that does not blame males for all the ills of the world will be banned in any of the female-oriented subreddits. There will be all manners of reasons why this will happen- men are either "lying" or "triggering" or "mansplaining" or "invading our safe space" or "victim-blaming" or some combination of the above. The "so-called" feminists don't want to communicate, converse, debate, deliberate, discuss, examine, exchange, hash out, interact, speculate, talk, or in any other way come to the table with anyone who has an opinion or thought or idea that they disagree with, in order to educate, inform, or otherwise find a solution of any kind to the situations that society needs to address. Instead, they simply want to point fingers, lay blame, talk about how superior they are and how much they're hated on, and then sit back and complain about how no one likes them, no one understands them, make demands about how others are responsible for things and then claim that they're being subjugated and oppressed.....
I could go on, but I've made my point. Again- not interested in tilting at windmills...

A hot 24 year old teacher fucks a 16 year old boy and the response is "she didn't have sex with him, SHE RAPED HIM."
We have a clear case of rape here and the responses come across as defensive. This prick raped a girl while she was passed out. The issue, and only issue, is that he was given leniency because it would have a "severe impact on him."

Unless those ideologies get a free pass to not even acknowledge the above, but MRA's NEED to have EVERY SINGLE PERSON agree in concert condemnation when a male rapist gets a lenient sentence. Which is sort of the state of gender affairs right now.

That's inaccurate. He did not rape her. Relying on ostensible earlier verbal consent, He apparently fingered and dry-humped her while himself too drunk to necessarily realise her passed out. Under those circumstances, his sentence (which includes gaol and lifetime registration) is not too lenient and might well be too severe. CivilSaint is right in pointing to a pattern of moderately-strong circumstantial evidence; however, I see no absolute proof he knew her passed out, nor absolute disproof of earlier consent. Under those circumstances, his guilt is not beyond a reasonable doubt.

And no he didn't receive a fair trial, all the allegations by the prosecution were not supported by independent evidence. No witness to the "rape", and "attempted rape" is a fairly contentious charge, and also open to question.
The fact is his version of events is fully consistent with the evidence.

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.
He was chased down. He wasn't so stumbling drunk that he couldn't run. And he ran, likely because he was aware enough to know what was happening. Though I'm sure one could make the case that he was running because he didn't know if he was about to be beaten or not-- but the fact is that he had to be physically forced off of his partner. Even if he wasn't actually raping the person he was on top of, that is still suspicious.
After a jury convicted Turner of sexually penetrating an intoxicated and unconscious person with a foreign object,
There was enough evidence to reach a conviction of this sort. We won't discuss if it was rape or not. But he was convicted of a crime. Whether you believe it was "bullshit" or not, it happened.
And then the judge offers "leniency". This does nothing for men and MRAs except make them (and supporters like myself) look like "patriarchy" to feminist and especially to "so-called" feminists-- and makes it harder for men and MRAs to prove their point, that NotAllMen are evil raping bastards.

[–]Stripes1974 3ポイント4ポイント5ポイント 1日前 (3子コメント)
Do you understand the meaning of the fact that I don't give a shit??
Let me try that again. We're not going to agree.
What you're discussing does not bear upon the facts presented- which are: * His victim was unconscious; * (It was said that) He had to be forcibly removed from his victim; * He ran when he was seen; * He had to be detained; * (It was said that) He offered up no explanation for his actions towards the victim at the scene;
Whether or not the victim agreed to go with him even if it was with the "intent of hookup", prior to events, does not factor into whether or not he committed a crime. Whether or not the object he penetrated the victim with was his finger does not factor into whether or not he committed a crime. Whether or not he was intoxicated does not factor into whether or not he committed a crime.
There is no way anyone could disprove OR PROVE her earlier consent if she was unconscious, and there were no other witnesses to come forth on his or her behalf. While it couldn't be PROVED that he knew she was unconscious...I won't even pretend to debate that unknown quality with you. It is still not relevant to his conviction.
That being said-- the young man was convicted of a crime. He was convicted of the crime of sexually penetrating an intoxicated and unconscious person.
Your "mitigating circumstances" do not make the crime for which he was convicted less severe. If it could be proved that * he didn't know she was unconscious; * he had proof of her agreement to allow him to finger her; * his intoxication were such that he had a measurably diminished or complete lack of capacity to make judgments of the sort that are a part of this situation;
THEN I could see how they might "mitigate" the crime. The inability to prove these things to his benefit DO NOT MAKE THEM MITIGATING FACTORS and therefore, you are wrong.
Feel free to disagree, but don't do so with me. We are done.
[–]Mens-Advocate 0ポイント1ポイント2ポイント 1日前* (2子コメント)
His victim was unconscious;
There was no mention of proof that he knew that.
(It was said that) He had to be forcibly removed from his victim;
Irrelevant to consent.
He ran when he was seen;
The only indisputably true item in your list. But running has never been proof of guilt, just of fear. Even were it proof of guilt, it's not clear exactly what it proves.
He had to be detained;
Millions of accused are wrongly detained and exculpated. Once again, proof of nothing except your density.
(It was said that) He offered up no explanation for his actions towards the victim at the scene;
Basic human rights: an accused need not offer explanations. The prosecution must.
Your "mitigating circumstances" do not make the crime for which he was convicted less severe.
You're illiterate; "to make less severe" is the very definition of "mitigating": http://www.dictionary.com/browse/mitigate
1.to lessen in force or intensity, as wrath, grief, harshness, or pain; moderate. 2. to make less severe:
[–]Stripes1974 5ポイント6ポイント7ポイント 1日前* (1子コメント)
Okay, fucktard child.
You want to say that I'm illiterate, because you can look up the word "mitigate" in the dictionary. What you fail at is literacy and linguistics, specifically:
Maybe you do know how to read, but you sure as fuck suck at comprehension.
I said:
The operative words are "for which he was convicted"-- meaning that the mitigating circumstances you state, do nothing for the crime itself-- they do not make it less severe. They do not make the crime of sexually penetrating an intoxicated and unconscious person less severe. Those so-called mitigating circumstances do not have any effect on the crime itself at all.
And because they cannot be proven, in a way that is to the benefit of the defendant, they are not therefore "mitigating circumstances", because they do not provide any evidence or proof towards his defense; they do not "mitigate" what he has done.
And to reiterate-- and just for your edification, let me provide the dictionary definitions for the words that you clearly don't seem to make use of:
edification: an act or process of edifying, which is to teach (someone) in a way that improves the mind or character
It does not matter to the commission of the crime, if he knew this or not.
An accused need not offer explanations, but failing to do so is certainly not a "mitigating" circumstance, and in light of the fact that I'm sure the police informed him of why they were arresting him, if he were truly innocent of the crime he would have said something to them, and even if not them, then to his own attorney.
And so I repeat for the final time:
We disagree. You are free to continue to not agree with me, but you should address your disagreement to someone else. Your rather pedantic insults are no longer worth my time or attention, and I won't respond further. If you wanna wail to empty air and call that a win, be my guest. You'll only look idiotic by doing so.

So 2 Vikings catching him in the act of humping an unconscious body, who woke up hours after the event? Is that enough evidence?
Turner was arrested Jan 18, 2015, immediately after two Stanford graduate students who were bicycling by a Kappa Alpha fraternity party about 1 a.m. caught sight of him on the ground outside, thrusting his hips atop an unconscious, partially clothed woman. Outside the courthouse, Kianerci credited bicyclists Peter Jonsson and Carl Arndt for the success of the case and lauded the victim for braving public embarrassment and testifying. But the woman did not wake for at least three hours and had a blood-alcohol level more than three times the legal limit. Turner acknowledged on the stand that she was "very drunk" but testified she was "no more drunk than anybody else" at the party.

Evidence of what exactly? Humping isn't sex or rape, he was obviously drunk out his mind. They both were, he gave her the finger, she passed out, he got startled and ran.
However long it took her to wake doesn't really say much about what happened beforehand.
And this legal limit bullshit...legal for what? Driving a car? That's extremely low, for good reason. Most people at this limit could easily pass as sober if they tried - why do you think they have breathalizers? Three times the limit is probably mid range drunk, but not out of your mind.

CivilSaint, that's a nit you're picking. Most people take rape to be penetration with the penis, and sexual assault to be other (usually lesser) sexual offences.
Terming lesser offences "rape" is one of the several re-definitions behind the 1 in 5 lie.
Also, if I understand correctly, one of the counts of which he was convicted was intent to continue to penetration. It's troubling to have convicted someone of what they would have done, not what they actually did, as if the court could predict the future.
The exact wording:
Turner, 20, was convicted of three felony charges in late March: assault with intent to commit rape of an intoxicated woman, sexually penetrating an intoxicated person with a foreign object and sexually penetrating an unconscious person with a foreign object.

That's true. In this case, the only reason he's convicted of sexual assault is likely because the state doesn't call anything rape, but rather sexual assault. What he is convicted for most certainly falls under rape.
While sexual assault is more inclusive, a person convicted of sexual assault is usually referred to as a rapist, unless they are a molester (AFAIK).
[–]pin4025 -1ポイント0ポイント1ポイント 1日前 (3子コメント)
your argument is baseless unless you can show that in that jurisdiction rape and sexual assault are different because that's what /u/civilsaint said. Most of the time they are the same thing. Legally rape is sexual assault.
Penal codes throughout the country make use of a wide variety of classification schemes for sex crimes. In some states, like New Jersey, the phrase sexual assault has simply replaced the word rape in the statute books. In others, like Pennsylvania (PDF), rape requires the use or threat of force, whereas sexual assault refers to any act of intercourse without consent. (So the former is an especially serious version of the latter, and carries the potential for twice as much prison time.) In Washington state, among others, sexual assault comprises a broad set of acts that include anything from rape to "crimes with a sexual motivation." In other states, neither the word rape nor the phrase sexual assault appears in the law. South Carolina refers to rape as "criminal sexual conduct," and Florida calls it "sexual battery." But as a general rule, a sexual assault is one that involves some form of unwanted penetration. Mere fondling is also a crime, but it's usually called criminal sexual contact or something similar. - Slate
being convicted of sexual assault doesn't mean you are not a rapist.
[–]azazelcrowley 2ポイント3ポイント4ポイント 1日前 (0子コメント)
I didn't make that argument. I'm just pointing out that not all sexual assault is rape. In some jurisdictions, it might be, but not all of them, as your own source shows. (I think you've confused me for the OP of this comment thread.)
He was not convicted of rape. He was convicted of: 1. penetration of an intoxicated person with an object. 2. penetration of an unconscious person with an object. 3. intent to commit rape.
http://www.mercurynews.com/crime-courts/ci_29962311/former-stanford-athlete-brock-turner-years-prison-or
That's really interesting, especially the use of criminal sexual conduct for rape.
The article was written in 2011, so i wonder if Pennsylvania's definition changed in its requirement of force. They still use the term forcible compulsion, but I don't think this actually means use of force. From how I understand it, it means something similar to 'acting upon'.

I am on your side here, for sure. But be careful. "Rape" and "sexual assault" are not interchangeable in all circumstances. To see that this is so, read the CDC and AAUP studies on sexual assault. Both put things that certainly are not rape under the umbrella of sexual assault. In many contexts, what the latter means depends on who you ask - and can be quite broad.
Again, I agree with you here. This guy appears to be a rapist and should be treated as such.

Interestingly, rape is defined by state law for the most part, and those definitions vary. In the U.S., all states require penetration as part of the definition. But they differ with respect to, basically, who has to penetrate who, what part of the body gets penetrated, and what is used to penetrate. In some states, it isn't even possible, as a legal matter, for a female to rape anyone or for a man to be raped.

The media omits facts on purpose in this case, like that he met the woman at a party and they left together to have consensual, albeit drunken, sex. The woman passed out during the act which he probably didn't even notice because he was drunk as well. But of course people are too lazy and/or too stupid to search for the facts when it's a lot more fun to just organize a pitchfork mob.

It's important when you have all the facts to punish the guilty. Here was a clear cut case and the judge gave feminists exactly what they wanted, something to point to as rape culture.

What you mean like the woman who got off with practically nothing for sexually abusing a one year old baby? If you prefer to focus on rare instances where men can be accused and blamed in a rare forum that is meant to focus on men's issues, then go right ahead.
This is exactly the rhetoric the SJWs push when we mention men's rights. It's attitudes like this that keep us at war with each other. Set an example, recognize both sides. Otherwise, we'll never make any progress.

Are you trying to "crush a pussy bro?' White Knights have the most obvious uniforms.
I have no idea what you mean

This sentence is ridiculous.

I assume the penetration part he was convicted of was with his fingers (not penis). If the jury found him guilty of those crimes, there is no reason for the judge to attenuate his sentencing.

I agree, but i would also love to see the other side do it as well.

I am looking through the article for reasons why it might have been so lenient
What I can see that jumps out are
She was unconscious and therefore perhaps didn't suffer as much as someone who was conscious and fighting against it ?? Perhaps the jury took that in to account ? I guess they would of heard from the girl in court ?
There didn't seem to be anyone else there, you don't normally come across passed out girls behind dumpsters (at least not in my neighbourhood) so perhaps she was his girlfriend ? Or someone that he knew ? Perhaps they requested leniency ??
It said he penetrated her with a foreign object which seemed a bit odd. Without further details its hard to say what was going on.
He was probably incredibly drunk as well and perhaps wasn't even aware that she had passed out. Given they were the only two together, perhaps they had left the club together and where both conscious when they got there ?
Seems like a lot of details are missing from the article. Seems lenient from what we have been told, but after the media has put its spin on everything who knows what is accurate.

sexually penetrating an intoxicated and unconscious person with a foreign object
What did he do? Put something in her mouth?
