Convicted sex offender Brock Turner argued in letters submitted in court that his behavior on the night of his crime was due to alcohol and a party culture on campus, something some of his supporters suggested as well.

Turner was found guilty of three felony sexual assault charges in March and sentenced last week to six months in jail with three ( Read more... )

Y'know, I've gotten blackout drunk maybe once in my life. You know what I did? Threw up in the bathtub, ate lollies and watched Eddie Murphy's "The Golden Child" with my bff until I passed out on a mattress with her.

You know what I didn't do? Sexually assault her. Or anyone.

IT'S A GODDAMN CHOICE. It was his choice. She was unconscious. AUGH.

SHIT! I'm glad you're okay!

so it's not your fault if you get drunk and rape somebody because the alcohol influenced you but it's her fault for being drunk and passed out?

I just want to punch this kid. It's disgusting how much he blames everything but himself when it comes to what happened. Parties happen all the time and people get drunk, yet they don't make that mistake. He was obviously wanting to hook up at the party since he advanced several women including the victim's own sister.

lmao at him trying to act like a martyr about sexual promiscuity and drinking culture. I'm sure throughout your life there were mentions about how to prevent sexual assault and no means no you little shithead. He strikes me off as the guy who rolls his eyes at the teachings and mentions but the moment he is the cause of it, he acts like he knows everything about it.
