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.

Rapist Brock Turner, aka rapist Allen Turner, who got a 6-month slap-on-the-wrist sentence for what his father called (and I quote) "twenty minutes of action"? That rapist Brock Allen Turner? The one who only served 3 months?!

"Hell, your Honor, he had whiskey dick! It took 13 minutes to get it up! How much damage could he have done!"

Disgusting.

I wonder if he would have felt the same if a bunch of Frat Bros had cornholed his son in a "Hazing Ritual."

Yeah, Brock aka Allen Turner! The rapist who barely got inconvenienced after he raped a woman who was passed out. The one who had two guys testify against him because they interrupted him in the middle of raping someone.

That rapist Brock Turner.
