[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Brock is undoubtedly a douchebag, but 6 months of jail and spending the rest of your life as a registered sex offender seems like a reasonable punishment for a man who fingered a passed out drunk girl (and even then we don't know for certain that she was passed out at that moment he did it) [/quote]

People are outraged at the lenient 6 month sentence.  The probation officer took into account the notorieity of the case, that Turner's name is forever besmirched, and the llifetime sentence of the sex offender registry when advising the jail time.

I think the sex offender registry is an awful creation, myself.  A lifetime sentence that limits where a person can live, severely limits what job a person can have, and does not distinguish between one sex offense and another.  Does the punishment fit the crime?  I don't think so.  a person is supposed toserve their sentence, pay their debt to society, and then move on.  If a person is too dangerous to be out in society, then either give them a lifetimeprison sentence, kill them, or castrate and release them.

I actually do not consider 6 months to be a lenient sentence for someone who fingered a woman In a situation where it can't be proved as to whether she gave her consent. And fwiw, I actually DO believe she was passed out and therefore couldn't give consent, but speculation isn't enough  [/quote]

It was enough for the jury, who found him guilty of 3 felonies, beyond a reasonable doubt.  They were the ones who heard all the facts and testimony.  It's no longer speculation.[/quote]
