The fallout of the 6-month jail sentence of sex offender Brock Turner continues to spill out into the lives of those close to him.
The former Stanford student’s childhood friend, Leslie Rasmussen—member of the indie band, Good English—penned a character reference to Judge Aaron Persky on behalf of the convict. She cited political correctness for his felony convictions.
“I don’t think it’s fair to base the fate of the next ten + years of his life on the decision of a girl who doesn’t remember anything but the amount she drank to press charges against him,” wrote Rasmussen. I am not blaming her directly for this, because that isn’t right. But where do we draw the line and stop worrying about being politically correct every second of the day and see that rape on campuses isn’t always because people are rapists.”
