JFC, I was afraid this was in the US. I'm not pleased to realize there are other places just as fucked up. Though in the US the excuse for letting him off would have to be that he was rich, not brilliant.

no sentence be passed as this would result in the accused having great difficulty in finding work in the medical profession.

I wonder why the medical profession doesn't want rapists.... 🤔

Oh, and he's going to be an OB/GYN.

Just a coincidence, of course. Because he cares that much about women.

Well let's Brock Allen Turner this motherfucker

[–] [email protected] 14 points 2 days ago (2 children)

What's the guys name? You're right that we need to treat him like that other rapist, Brock Allen Turner.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Are you guys talking about the rapist, Brock Allen Turner, or a different rapist named Brock Allen Turner?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 days ago

There's just the one Brock Allen Turner, rapist, of which I'm aware. This other guy, though, needs to be made as famous as Brock.

They were both drunk. She was more drunk.

She was unable to walk-drunk, he got her home.
This guy wants to be a gynaecologist for fucks sake.

If your definition of every drunken hookup is, that they are unable to stand on their own...

Thanks for pointing this out.

He claims that he asked her several times if she consented and that he had been given the impression that she did.

Seems like it was more of an "unintentional rape", like manslaughter is unintentional murder. Wrong: yes. Bad judgment: yes. Deliberate malice: maybe not.
