If you are a victim of a crime, call the police.

What we have in other words, is a system with one venue that unfairly favors the victim and another venue that unfairly favors the accused. For those of us who are deeply committed to the rights of both victims and the accused, it seems like there’s no room for justice in either place.

Which system favors the accused? Using the outlier of Persky's sentence in this instance is totally ignorant of the fact that this legal system that apparently favors the accused issues a median sentence of 10 years to those convicted of rape.

Had Turner committed any crime, the judge would've been lenient on him. It isn't about rape. It is about privilege and its effect on the legal system.
