[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This is what date rape looks like when men rape unconscious females at frat parties. This is the rape culture issue. Men raised to think it's OK to rape unconscious or severely impaired drunk females at parties, due to of a culture of shame and acceptance of this behavior. This is not regret sex, this is rape.

This isn't 20 minutes of action. This is violent criminal behavior more about power and aggression than sex. This isn't sex. It's rape.[/quote]

Absolutely agree. It also isn't "hook-up" culture, it's rape culture. If the swedes hadn't shown up, this could have ended so much worse for Emily. Thank-god for those angels!

No one is saying that it is o.k. to touch or rape or photograph a passed out person - male or female.  No one is saying that what Brock Turner did was o.k.  The minute that girl ceased to be aware of her surroundings - that is when he should have stopped what he was doing.  But do realize that the only reason that the swedes stopped to intervene is because Emily was passed out.  If she had been the least bit participating the swedes would have rode on, others would have walked right on by and minded their own business and deemed it a drunken hook up.  Typical frat party stuff.

Did Brock know that Emily was going to pass out when they walked behind those dumpsters together?  I don't think that he had any way of knowing just how drunk she was.  Emily herself says that she's surprised that she passed out like that.  But she did pass out and Brock didn't have the decency to get off her.  This all happened in the span of about 5 to 7 minutes...and would forever change the course of their lives.

Emily - that pretty, eloquent, sister/daughter/girlfriend, full time employee and college grad wound up passed out half naked by a dumpster with an underage drunk freshman dry humping her.  And there are 42 crime scene photos to verify the state that she was found in.  And invasive rape kit tests plus photos too.  All evidence - seen by jurors, police, lawyers, judge and even her own parents.  Sordid, sad, humiliating.

Brock - tall, lean, fit Olympic level swimmer.  College athletic scholarship.  Beloved son and friend to many.  Got drunk, dry humped and touched a half naked passed out woman. Now he's a convicted sex offender who will be on the sex offender registry for the rest of his life.  Disgraced, kicked out, jailed, convicted.

I'll bet if these two could press an "erase" button and never meet they would do it in a heartbeat.  Unlike Emily I do not think that it was inevitable that Brock was going to do this to some girl.  If not her than another girl.  I think that if she had stayed semi sober that night things would have turned out differently for her.  And for Brock.  And if they had both stayed sober they likely never would have met in the first place.  I think that Brock gets that. I don't know that Emily does.  I hope that they can both help other young people by sharing their stories.
