But it has not been shown that the Stanford student raped the woman.
In fact, we know he didn't.
All that has been shown is fondling -- quite possibly with consent.
Indeed.
[...]
there is no evidence that she didn't consent, and the fact that it was not sexual intercourse and therefore not a rape.
No evidence? Consent? He was found guilty of three felonies:
* assault with intent to rape an intoxicated woman
* sexually penetrating an intoxicated person with a foreign object and
* sexually penetrating an unconscious person with a foreign object.
There was PLENTY of evidence for the judge and jury which is why he was CONVICTED. Seriously. What is wrong with you?

Right, like those pine needles found.., well you know...
" Stanford Swimmer Who Raped Unconscious Woman Gets Short Sentence Because Jail Would Have a ‘Severe Impact on Him’ "
The judge based his sentence on the probation report's recommendations. They cited he had no prior history and was genuinely remorseful. They recommended six months and the judge ran with it. Is this common in the California court system? The judge heard more in the court room than the probation officer did, is he not incapable of judging? Why even have a minimum two year sentence. It all seems backassward to me.
Inside her body? The only way they'd end up there is if they hitched a ride on the foreign object that penetrated her as she was unconscious and incapable of consent.
As a mother, this is what I told my sons in the aftermath of this story. You are always responsible for what you do under the influence of alcohol. Being drunk is never an excuse. Never an excuse. Furthermore, do NOT have sex with unconscious people. They are incapable of consenting. They pass out? Whatever was started is over... Done... That's all she wrote... Do not pass Go... Do not collect $200.
People aren't talking about the upside to all this. That a judge is being held accountable for a very poor sentence and may end up losing his job over it.

If you need to explain to your sons they should not have sex with unconscious people, you've got a problem or they've got a problem or both...

No, I don't have a problem. Nor do my sons. I believe in being explicit where appropriate. Saves time.
