I'm not going to apologize for being skeptical.  The victim was not some dumb naive fraternity party newbie.  But the guy accused of this did seem to be a socially awkward, naive, fraternity party newbie.  Women can absolutely be the instigators of sexual encounters with men.  Especially drunk women.  I've seen it enough times to know that they can be. [b] Just because Brock is guilty does not mean that Emily was attacked.  She could have passed out in the act. Which would put a different light on what Brock was seen doing.  There is a difference between jumping a woman behind a dumpster with the intent of sexually assaulting her and having a mutual sexual encounter with a woman, having her pass out mid act and the guy not fully appreciating how out of it she had become.  If you think the two scenarios are The Same, then you have a twisted view of sex.  [/b]

Brock has had his day in court and he was found guilty and sentenced.  Now it's just a matter of trying to figure out how/why this happened.  It sure doesn't seem as though Brock went to that party expecting to leave it a sex offender.  And Emily did not go to that party looking to become a victim of sexual assault.  But that is what happened.

Asking why that happened two these two specific people in this specific situation is appropriate given the amount of coverage this case has received.  It's possible that Brock was nothing but an ahole opportunist who finally got his chance.  It's also possible that two reasonably good people both made some extremely bad (and atypical) errors in judgement that night.

People, maybe you, keep posting this distinction as if it is somehow material in this case.  It's not.  The law treats both of these scenarios as crimes, which is why Turner was convicted.  And it's not twisted to believe that most men, drunk or sober, know to stop humping or fingering a woman when she is unconscious.  I'm guessing that 99.9% of men would never do that.  If you think this is a difficult thing for a man, even a drunk man, to figure out, then I might suggest it is you who has a twisted view of sex.[/quote]
