![]() But where do we draw the line and stop worrying about being politically correct every second of the day and see that rape on campuses isn’t always because people are rapists. “I am not blaming her directly for this, because that isn’t right. “I don’t think it’s fair to base the fate of the next ten + years of his life on the decision of a girl who doesn’t remember anything but the amount she drank to press charges against him,” wrote Rasmussen, a childhood friend of Turner’s. That information: Leslie Rasmussen, the drummer for the all-female trio, penned a letter defending Turner, 20, the student convicted of raping an unconscious woman behind a dumpster and who received what many believe to be a light sentence of six months. “Due to recent information brought to our attention, Good English is no longer playing Northside Festival,” the festival's organizers tweeted Tuesday. The woman you raped is trying to get herself back.New York’s Northside Festival, which takes place this upcoming weekend, has canceled an appearance of Ohio-based band Good English because of a member’s ties to convicted Stanford rapist Brock Turner. ![]() Shut the fuck up, dude, and get over yourself. Want my opinion? When your victim, Emily Doe, writes, “You don’t know me, but you’ve been inside me, and that’s why we’re here today,” you have no fucking right but to live with the consequences of your actions. 2 3 On January 18, 2015, on the Stanford University campus, Brock Allen Turner, then a 19-year-old student athlete at Stanford, sexually assaulted 22-year-old Chanel Miller (referred to. In 90 days the court will provide an opinion on this latest appeal. Brock Allen Turner (2015), is a high-profile criminal case in which Brock Allen Turner was convicted by jury trial of three counts of felony sexual assault. Justice Elia told Multhaup “intent is rarely proved by direct evidence” and that there was plenty of evidence to support Turner’s guilt. And for fuck’s sake, teach your kids that if a friend or stranger is drunk, especially a woman, they should put her in a cab or walk her home. Teach them that the only way sexual activity should happen is if all parties are enthusiastically saying YES. ![]() Teach your kids to respect not only their bodies, but also the bodies that don’t belong to them. Why is it not common knowledge that when a woman blacks out, maybe penetration of any kind should stop? Why is it not common sense to pick up a woman when she falls instead of taking it as an invitation to fuck her behind a dumpster? Why is consent such a hard concept? The fragile male ego, the inability to hear no, male privilege, white privilege, and white rich boy privilege all seem like really shitty answers. Multhaup continued to argue that Turner was the victim in this case because evidence could not prove when Doe blacked out, thus no longer giving him consent to digital penetration.

Instead of being happy with only having served three months in jail, having been given an embarrassingly light sentence of six months, Turner and his lawyer are arguing that outercourse is a “version of safe sex” that does not allow for penial contact because people are fully clothed during this act. Why isn’t it enough that he pulled off most of her clothes and removed her underwear behind a dumpster, put his fingers inside of her, along with pine needles and dirt, and violently humped her? IT IS. I am sorry that it would take an actual fucking penis to have penetrated the victim’s vagina to somehow qualify Turner’s actions as rape or sexual assault.īut even then, he would have argued it was consensual. I am sorry we have to read headlines where anyone believes dry humping of an unconscious drunk woman is somehow not convictable. I am so, so sorry we are STILL defending our words, our pain, and our worth. Whether you have or have not reported your own rape, assault, or any inappropriate touch or stare, I am sorry. Where do I begin? I will apologize to victims everywhere first. Multhaup claims Turner did not show intent to rape his victim, called Emily Doe, because-wait for it-he only had “sexual outercourse.” He did so in the weakest, most disgusting, and insulting way. Recently during a hearing in front of a three-judge panel in California’s 6th District Court of Appeal, Turner’s lawyer, Eric Multhaup, tried once again to have the sexual assault conviction overturned. ![]() One of those charges was assault with intent to commit rape of an intoxicated woman. ![]() In 2016, Brock Turner was convicted of three counts of sexual assault. ![]()
