Brock Turner is the former Stanford University swim star who was recently sentenced to six months in jail after he was found guilty of committing 3 charges of sexual assault on a young woman on campus earlier this year. The former swimmer was apprehended one night in January 2015 when he was only 19 after two bicyclists found him running away from a crime scene in which a young woman claimed she blacked out and was sexually assaulted by Turner. Turner claims that he did not assault the young woman that he was with; they were engaging in a mutual make-out session outside a frat house during a party when he admitted to fondling her and removing her pants.

The young woman in question says she was not willing, that she was actually passed out and woke up to find him molesting her. She believes that had she not woken up after she blacked out that he would have raped her. Many are unhappy at the moment that he was given such a lenient sentence based on the severity of the accusations that were made against him, particularly the family of the young girl whose life will never be the same.

Unfortunately, this happens all the time, and it’s part of the reason so many young women do not come forward. His father feels that his punishment is ‘too much” for what he refers to as “20 minutes of action,” and he has stated he does not feel his son deserves this much punishment. It happens all the time, and there are many celebrities, powerful men and stars who are accused of rape or molestation and are not properly disciplined for their actions.

By now we know that this is a man who is going through deposition after deposition after deposition and nothing seems to be happening after more than 50 women have come forward to accuse him of assaulting them by giving them drugs and taking advantage for most of his adult life.

Rick James

He’s famous, and people love him. However, they seem to have forgotten that he was once in trouble – in jail – for kidnapping and torturing a woman for three days. Not only did he kidnap and torture her, he also raped her repeatedly during that time. Really nice guy, right?

His adoptive daughter, Dylan Farrow, openly accused her father of sexual assault when she was only 7. She wrote a letter about it, published it and then went on to state that it was something she’s been living with her entire life.

Mike Tyson

The famous fighter is a convicted rapist, but no one seems to mind that. He served only three years in prison for the rape of an 18-year-old girl who was a contestant in the Miss Black America pageant. She was raped and could prove it, yet he only spent three years in jail. He wants to know how it’s possible to rape someone when she came to your hotel room at 2 am.

R. Kelly

He was never sent to jail after he married a 15-year-old girl, after he got caught having sexual relations with a 14-year-old girl and after he was found with more than 21 counts of child pornography on his computer since the warrants used to arrest him were not what they should have been. It is gross.
