The thing is, "dry humping" has a sexual component to it, thus the sexual assault charges. The sexual aspect of the action makes it different than simple battery. |
He didn't "stick them" in her vagina. They got pushed up when he was fingering her. Just like he didn't put them in her hair or clothing - they got stuck when she was laying in them on the ground. |
More distinctions that are beside the point, and hilarious as a defense. He did stick them in her vagina, as a byproduct of fingering her where she lay unconscious on the ground - my point was that no woman lies on the ground pretending to be unconscious while that is happening. To suggest she was taking all of that willingly to protect her dad's academic reputation or to avoid a citation of her own is beyond absurd. |
She led him behind the wood fence - an area where she had been to earlier in the night with her sister and an area that Brock Turner did not seem that familiar with because he referred to it as a "wood shed" not a dumpster area. The assumption is that at least at the beginning, the contact was consensual. She was kissing/touching him back and responding to be kissed/touched. He says that he was "dry humping" her when the swedes arrived on the scene. The swedes statement is consistent with what Turner says he was doing. I think it's quite possible that she passed out mid makeout. It all happened very fast (within minutes) and the swedes caught the tail end of the encounter and put an abrupt end to it. I think that it is odd that the victim was so completely out of it for so long and through so much - through being dry humped, through bystanders talking to her/rolling her on her side, to police speaking loudly at her and photos being taken of her, through the paramedics assisting her and then transporting her to the hospital - no memory of any of it. I also think that it is strange that an extremely athletic man who was supposedly being forcibly restrained did not leave a scratch on either one of these guys restraining him. |
Where's the evidence that "she led him" there? |
There were no pine needles in her vagina; like the librarian's beige cardigan, that is fiction, from her victim's statement, a Spoken Word performance. If there had been pine needles in her vagina, it would have been mentioned in the 471 pages of court records that have been released so far, certainly in the account given in the People's Sentencing Memorandum, and it isn't. |
Turner said that she led him back there and that is consistent with the fact that she had been back behind that area with her sister during the course of the night. Turner appeared unfamiliar with that area, referring to it as a "woodshed". |

I think his second biggest mistake was simply not owning up continuing on after he shouldn't have. He could have said he was sorry, that he also was very drunk, that he exercised bad judgment, and that he learned his lesson.
Instead he tried to get out of it with a story that rang false to the jury: that he asked for her consent at every turn. And that made him look like a liar capable of rape and fingering her when she was unconscious. That coupled with the fact that he ran when he found her probably did him in. The Vandy rape also probably didn't help. |
So you're going to believe the convicted rapist. Hmm. |
Yes, with the caveat that people in big trouble are going to soften the truth in their own favor - I get that. The victim has said that she had been in that area before. The swedes said that they saw Turner dry humping the victim. There is no evidence that this victim was forcibly taken back there because she walked back there. The swedes and the victim weren't bruised/scratched by Turner's hands because he was not being physically forceful with them. |
| It is a fact that the victim wrote a fictional story about abuse that had elements of how she described what she claimed Turner did to her, while she was a student, before the incident happened. Getting drunk and fingered indeed may have been living out a narrative she'd already constructed. |
OMG. No. That can not be right .

Agreed, since the lone juror to speak of the case stated that Turner's running away was the most compelling piece of evidence in the jury reaching a guilty verdict. The issue is there is no "fact that he ran." Turner's running away rapidly was either contrived by Jonsson and Arndt or by Deputy Braden Shaw who interviewed Jonsson and Arndt that night and wrote their statements. Turner's location, 75 feet from where she was lying is not at all consistent with the narrative of him having run away rapidly upon being discovered by Jonsson and Arndt. It is shown below with simple algebra that the narrative of Turner running away rapidly and ending up being pinned a mere 75 feet away is false.

| So this thread continues. Except now, not only is the victim a liar, but it seems the police on scene and swedes are also lying (or at least giving misleading testimony) and the victim in fact was only trying to live out some fictional story she previously created. |
If she actually did write a fictional story before this all happened...that is really very relevant. You can love this victim all you want but if she "wrote" this story beforehand that would be too much of a coincidence. |
