What do y'all think about this rape case? I personally think a 6th month verdict is a little short, but people arguing for 14 years are ridiculous. The victim doesn't remember the entire night that the rape occurred. There is a chance that she got too drunk, started hooking up with the guy, and fell unconscious while hooking up by that dumpster. Details of the case are oddly hard to find as well. I've read that his pants were on, and the most that happened was finger in vagina. All sorts of penetration is wrong, but her not being able to testify about that night just makes me want to ask more questions.
Edit: Wow this blew up. I really appreciate everyone's feedback and am glad we were able to converse about this logically.

When you are really drunk you can go from awake to passed out in about 2 seconds once you lie down. If you stay standing you stay awake, once you lay down you're out.
It is SUPER COMMON to be, for instance, making out/hot and heavy with someone drunk and if you get up to like, go into the bathroom for a minute, when you get back they will be completely hardcore asleep snoring and unrousable. This is not at all unusual.

Well, she wasn't dancing just minutes before, but maybe an hour before.
People can do all kinds of things in blackouts. Things I have seen people do while not conscious: (1) stand up, walk to the bathroom, use it, and get back in bed, (2) use something they thought was the bathroom but wasn't, (3) eat food, (4) make phone calls, (5) take photos, (6) have conversations.
It's actually a fantastic glimpse into the difference between one's brain (which runs 99% of what you do) and one's consciousness. You don't need the latter to walk, move, talk. And you DEFINITELY don't need it to get sexual. That's a primal behavior that is one of the most common behaviors blacked out people engage in.
Anyone who doesn't have experience with partying and drinking a lot really has no right to comment on this whole incident. His sentence was appropriate to harsh, IMO. The public reaction is way over the top and the sex offender status is ridiculous. These were two wasted, partying students who hooked up and if she hadn't been brought to to the police, this would be similar to thousands of other college students Friday nights that same night. An appropriate reaction for her would be embarrassment and shame and maybe a lesson in not drinking so much. But all the public reaction is over the top and what happened really isn't anything unusual for the type of people who go to fraternity parties. Literally the entire point of frat parties is to get in inebriated and hook up. There is no other reason to attend them. People who are not looking to get inebriated and hook up don't go to frat parties.
Also, black out drunks are generally alcoholics. It's very rare that someone who doesn't drink a LOT blacks out because they will get sick and throw up before they get to that point. Blacking out means your body actually has quite a tolerance for alcohol, so that you can drink a ton without getting sick. Hell, I drink a lot and I have never in my life blacked out (but I've seen tons of people blacked out and it's always hardcore drinkers).

From my understanding, there was a bunch of time where she was hanging out talking, etc between when her sister was last with her and when she was found. Who knows what she was doing, I don't know and neither does anyone else. I agree that the evidence to convict him was threadbare and personally I wouldn't have convicted. My understanding is that the jury deliberated for several days and felt agonized about the decision. I also agree that her lack of accountability is breathtaking and I don't know why the media is piling on and everyone is rushing to judgment with zero facts and only hearing her over-wrought side of things but not hearing his.
You and I don't disagree but you seem to think we do. Blacked-out people usually behave in an extremely sexual manner, from what I've seen, often groping or trying to make out with anyone in their field of vision. Literally. I have seen both men and women behave this way. If they ever saw a video of themselves after the fact they would be mortified.
If they want to start arresting everyone who has a drunken hook-up with a stranger after a fraternity party they would be sending thousands of men and women to jail every weekend. Everyone resents the white jocks and rich boys and gets gleeful at the idea of them locked up, but if these standards were ever applied to women and you started arresting them, it would be funny to see how people reacted. But that would require college men to actually make complaints -- it's up to them. They could do it.

I just found out about this late and what I see is posters on other forums basking in their self righteousness. The aftermath and effects of this is exactly what the SJW's, feminist, Left wing liberal were looking for. They now have a poster boy for their narrative that they can point to and yell "SEE, SEE, WE WERE RIGHT ALL ALONG!" The "we were right attitude" coming from some of these posters are sickening. It's ALMOST as if they are glad this happened just so their narrative was proven right. This case alone is enough to justify what they have been preaching since Duke Lacrosse and UVA, and even more so make Duke/UVA the isolated anomaly. This case will be shoved in the public's face for years and guilty until proven innocent will be the new norm.
This is what Sabrina Rubin Early and Rolling Stone was looking for: A rich white kid going to a prestigious, rich school that supported the massive rape crisis happening on privileged campuses. If you're a male going to college and reading this, PLEASE BE CAREFUL! This case is paving the way for the next big college witch hunt.

Absolutely correct. Her "trauma" is the shame of everyone knowing. It was apparently published in the news and that's how she found out. Plus she had a boyfriend.
Anyone would be mortified if they found out that they had gotten so drunk that they had their ass out in public and made out with a loser. I've known plenty of people embarrassed for precisely this reason but usually a week later they forget about it. The difference here is that the two guys intervened, she ended up in the hospital, the police were called, and it became news.
You should read her account, she is furious. I guarantee if the hookup had just proceeded and the two guys didn't call the police, this would've just been one night like many others she's had (which haven't been traumatizing enough to prevent her from still getting drunk and going to frat parties even though she's not even in college anymore).

Yes, well, there's a reason she's remaining anonymous while he's on the cover of every newspaper.
How else would she possibly explain to her boyfriend that she was even going to a frat party when she's no longer in college (seriously, what woman does that???), not to mention getting blackout drunk at one and then making out with a dude 5 years younger than her.

USA Swimming can do what it wants. If someone is too drunk they cannot give consent and Turner was with it enough to say he also could give consent especially considering to her. He had an alcohol content of .17 (twice the legal and she was .2 something) or around 3 times the legal. He didn't "rape" her. He sexually assaulted her. Clearly the definition is important since anytime, I touch you by accident it isn't rape. Touching your fingers inside someone is clearly sexual assault and a lesser crime but still very much a crime. Overall, 6 months in jail, 3 years of probation and being kicked out of school seems about a right for someone who was drunk which put his fingers in someone else. This isn't a morally decent act but the mitigating factors do show the assailant was also intoxicated, it was not rape. Emily Doe needs to grow up and we need to get over this idea that your virtous for being a victim. If someone stuck their hands on my cock. I don't think I would say, I can't live my life anymore. While, I don't wish this on anyone, the media's overreaction is typical of our victimhood culture. It almost makes you have to defend a guy like Brock only because what other people say are so draconian and have no basis of reality. It's as if he is a serial murderer.

A few pieces of information that support Brock:
1) She had a boyfriend and yet was making out with this guy in the frat house 2) They seemingly left to go back to his place together
I was mostly in the 'he didn't do anything wrong, they were making out and starting to have sex when she passed out' camp, but the eyewitness testimony of the two people who pulled him off of her seems pretty damning:
https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/morning-mix/wp/2016/06/07/the-swedish-stanford-students-who-rescued-an-unconscious-sexual-assault-victim-speak-out/
“We can see that she isn’t moving at all but he is moving a lot. So we stop and think that there is something strange going on,”
He added: “Peter walks over and asks what he is doing and I am following him. When he stand up we see that she still isn’t moving, even the slightest, so we approach and ask something like: ‘What the hell are you doing?'”
