Stanford rapist 'took photograph of his victim's breasts during attack-and shared it with swim team

Source: Daily Mail

Stanford rapist Brock Turner sent a photo of his victim's breasts to friends after the attack outside a frat house party.

Court documents seen by Daily Mail Online reveal that the disgraced athlete was sent a text via a group messaging app shortly after his arrest that read: 'Whos tit is that'.

The message, which arrived through the GroupMe app, was sent by Stanford swimmer Justin Buck, originally of Aberdeen, UK.

Detectives were unable to access the photo sent by Turner. Pictures sent on it can be deleted by third parties. It is unclear who deleted the photograph.

His swim career is over, he will be a registered sex offender for the rest of his life, ANY company that hires him will feel the brunt of public opinion. If he had expressed actual remorse and apologized, maybe he would have had a better chance at the life Daddy had planned for him. But he didnt
His best option will probably be to change his name!

Erin Jill Andrews is an American sportscaster and television personality....In 2008, Michael David Barrett, then 46, filmed Andrews in her hotel room through peepholes at the Nashville Marriott adjacent to Vanderbilt University in Nashville, Tennessee, and the Radisson Airport Hotel in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. On July 16, 2009, one of these videos, in which Andrews appeared totally nude, was posted online and quickly went viral....
On March 7, 2016, after a two-week trial, the jury awarded Erin Andrews $55 million in her civil lawsuit over the secret recording and release of a video showing her naked during a hotel stay.....

Stanford Sex Assault Convict Brock Turner Banned from USA Swimming for Life

Swim USA just has to wait until the heat dies down. In two years, long after he's finished serving his pathetic sentence and long after anyone remembers what he actually did, he'll be swimming again. You'll be too busy dealing with other things in your life to care, and so will everyone else.

Money will fix this. Money fixes everything.

Title: He sent the picture.

Article: Police suspected he did, but there's no good evidence. Just suspicion.

Now, had he encrypted his phone ...

He probably lied to everyone in court about being "clean-cut". He said he wasn't used to the party atmosphere and the drinking.

Turns out he's human filth that needs to be thrown into a very deep hole. And I hope she sues him over the photographs.

The San Jose Mercury News, however, reports prosecutor Alaleh Kiancerci said in her sentencing memo that texts and photos found on Turner's cell phone indicate he used alcohol and drugs in high school.

"The text messages also referenced doing acid or trying to find a 'hook up' to purchase acid both in high school and while at Stanford," Kiancerci wrote.

He didn't just hide his past behavior; he and his father intentionally mislead the court about his history, and this was relevant history. Brock Turner the Rapist is a manipulator and asshole.

all need some serious and long term mental health care.

The rapist was set free after three month of incarceration.

He would have gotten a longer sentence if he abused an animal.

He enjoyed assaulting a completely helpless person and will do it again when the desire builds up.

IMO, he should never be allowed hold power over others, including in field of medicine where helpless individuals are readily available.

Not just he's a jerk. But why did he felt compelled to take this pic of a drunk passed out girl? He's so inadequate he feels that's the only way he could have sex with a woman and he has to show he can do it. Or maybe to proclaim he thinks he's not gay. Something else?

This dude is messed up.

with no criminal history, that person would have gotten the maximum sentence available. This is clearly a case of a white athlete that attended a prestigious, wealthy school getting preferential treatment because he is a member of the privileged class.

It is becoming increasingly difficult for a person who accused of a crime to get a trial in this country. And it is becoming increasingly difficult for the victim of a crime to get justice from the court.

Or a white person working in a minimum wage job?

Is it his class or his race that provides the privilege here (or some combination of the two)?
