斯坦福精英男性侵案引衆怒 其父竟宣稱只是20分鐘行爲

Brock Turner, 20, was sentenced to six months in jail for sexually assaulting an unconscious woman last year.

布洛克·特納，今年20歲，因爲去年性侵一位不省人事的女性而被判6個月監禁。

Prosecutors said that in January 2015, Turner had been seen by two witnesses sexually assaulting the woman, who was lying on the ground, unconscious, on the Stanford campus.

檢察官稱，2015年1月，有兩名證人目睹了特納在斯坦福大學校園性侵他人，而該名女性躺在地上，不省人事。

A former top swimmer at the university, Turner was found guilty in March of three felony charges. Prosecutors wanted a sentence of six years in state prison for him, the Mercury News reported. His sentencing, to six months and probation, also required him to register as a sex offender for the rest of his life.

特納曾是該大學頂尖的游泳選手，但是在3月份卻面臨3項重罪指控。據《水星報》報道，檢察官曾想判其在州立監獄服刑6年。最終，特納判刑6個月，可以假釋，其性犯罪者的身份也會登記在冊，這一標籤將跟隨其一生。

In an excerpt of a statement to the court before the sentencing, Brock's father, Dan, said his son's life had been "deeply altered forever".

在判刑前，布洛克的父親丹在一段法庭聲明中表示，他兒子的人生“被徹底改變了”。

"His life will never be the one that he dreamed about and worked so hard to achieve", he said. "That is a steep price to pay for 20 minutes of action out of his 20 plus years of life."

“他的人生永遠不會像他夢想的，並努力拼搏想要實現的那樣美好了。”丹這樣說。“僅僅20分鐘的行動就付出了慘痛的代價，20多年來的努力付之東流。”

Many Twitter users reacted angrily, both to the sentence and the tone of the father's letter.

對於特納的刑期和其父親公開信裏的語氣，衆多推特用戶表示非常憤怒。

Some 28,000 people have also signed a petition to recall the sentencing judge,Aaron Persky, for passing what they called a "lenient sentence".

有2萬8千人在請願書上籤了名，呼籲該案件的負責法官艾倫·佩爾斯基放棄他們稱之爲“從輕處罰的判決”。

In his decision, he said positive character references and Turner's remorse and lack of previous criminal record were mitigating factors.

對於他的判決，佩爾斯基表示，特納平時是個積極向上的人，而且有悔罪表現，之前也沒有犯罪記錄，這些都是減罪因素。

In an impact statement read out in court, the victim, now 23, addressed her attacker, saying his actions had left her emotionally scarred.

受害人現年23歲，在當庭宣讀的受害人影響陳述書中，她表示特納的行爲給自己情感上造成了無法癒合的傷害。

She criticised Turner for not admitting the crime and putting her and her family through an "invasive" and "aggressive" trial. Later, the victim told BuzzFeed she was disappointed with the "gentle" sentence.

她怒斥特納不承認罪行，並且在法庭審判過程中顛倒黑白，咄咄逼人。隨後，受害人接受嗡嗡喂網站採訪時稱，對如此“溫和”的判刑很失望。

But "even if the sentence is light, hopefully this will wake people up," she said.

但是她還是表示，即使判刑很輕，也希望它能給人們敲響警鐘。

District Attorney Jeff Rosen said the punishment does not fit the crime.

地方檢察官傑夫·羅森表示，這樣的判刑與罪案的嚴重程度不符。

"The predatory offender has failed to take responsibility, failed to show remorse and failed to tell the truth. The sentence does not factor in the true seriousness of this sexual assault, or the victim's ongoing trauma. Campus rape is no different than off-campus rape. Rape is rape."

“這樣一個玩弄他人取樂的犯罪分子，沒有承擔相應的責任，沒有表現出任何懊悔，沒有坦白事實真相。這樣的判刑沒有考慮到性侵犯的嚴重性，或者是受害人遭受的身心創傷。校園強姦與其他地方的強姦沒什麼不同。強姦就是強姦。”
