There are major differences between this case and the Stamford case. This young man did not deny his crime and refuse to acknowledge what he had done. He admitted he raped the girl and that he should not have done that. Brock Turner mounted a vigorous defense of the charges which and further victimized his victim by having his lawyer expose every detail of her personal live, have the jury view pictures of her genitals and injuries, encouraging people like Tipsey to blame, shame and humiliate her.
For these reasons, he deserves a lesser sentence than Brock Turner, because there are degrees, even of rape. Turner's sentence should be the harshest because of the level of violence involved, and because of his refusal, even after conviction, to acknowledge his crime or show remorse for what he had done, he deserves the maximum sentence.
That being said, no rapist should ever be given probation. Ever.
Holy shit, did you seriously just write that? The girl in the case was 14 and the piece of shit raped her. The girl in the Turner case was older than him, went partying, got drunk but was never penetrated by Turner's package. Neither girl deserved what they got, but if I had to pick one this case is 10 times worse. Wow Dragonlady, you actually would downplay the violent rape of a 14 year old to win your argument. So according to you if a guy rapes an underaged girl and just admits to it he deserves a lesser sentence? Are you insane? Disgusting.
