    Brock Turner?

    You mean convicted rapist Brock Turner?

    I just want to make sure that’s the rapist Brock Turner you’re talking about and not some other Brock Turner.

    I only know of one Brock Turner, and he definitely raped a woman, but the judge let him off easy because he has affluenze.

    The judge decided that a punishment might jeopardize the rich kid’s future, and cited that he hadn’t been brought up to realize the consequences of his actions. To my naive understanding that seems like a really teachable moment.

    By the way, in case anyone wasn’t sure: Brock Turner, the convicted rapist, raped a woman and got away with it because his parents are rich.
