As if the Stanford rapist Brock Turner couldn’t be less of a human, his family have announced they want him to do a speaking tour. This would earn Turner, and his family, money from his rape conviction.
Turner’s case came to light after he was convicted of raping a woman, but only received a 6 month prison sentence. He was then released three months early for good behavior.
Through this ordeal, Turner has continued to victim-blame, and denies responsibility for his actions (raping a woman).
Even His Parents Are Blaming Alcohol For The Sexual Assault
Now, Mummy and Daddy Turner are jumping on the bandwagon and making a hideous situation even more unbearable.
Reports state that Turner and his family are considering making money from his rape conviction by having Brock host talks at college campuses across the country. The purpose of these talks would be to highlight the dangers of “Party Culture,” alcohol use, and promiscuity.
Since his conviction, Turner’s father penned a letter to the judge of Brock’s case complaining that his son wouldn’t be able to enjoy steak dinner during his time in prison. His father also called the sexual assault “20 minutes of action,” and blamed alcohol for his son being caught raping an unconscious woman.
Meanwhile, millions of people across the globe enjoy alcohol without raping or sexually assaulting someone.
Turner Was A Swimmer At Stanford University
In an open letter on the Huffington Post, Ruth Starkman, a teacher at Stanford University – where the assault took place – said the following to Brock Turner and his abhorrent family:
“Any campus appearance must be conditioned on his taking full responsibility for his actions, apologizing to the victim, and condemning sexual assault.”
Starkman referred to Turner as:
“the most hated swimmer in American history – more reviled than even the mendacious, embarrassing Ryan Lochte,”
Turner subjected himself to universal hatred throughout his trial, where he continuously blamed alcohol for his actions and took zero responsibility for the multiple felonies to which he was convicted. He was then sentenced to a lenient six-month jail sentence, causing outcry at Judge Aaron Persky.
Persky gave Turner a minor sentence as a result of his swimming abilities. There is now a petition to remove him from his post.
Here is what the world is saying about this revelation:

When will this end? When will we stop victim blaming and allowing rapists to excuse their abhorrent behavior because of alcohol? When will we start teaching our boys that women are not objects for them to control and dominate? When will we stop endorsing this disgusting rape culture that we have built in this country?
