The victim sent the text to Kianerci in response to interview requests that speak to her new-found strength and why she prefers to remain anonymous. As for the judge, he said at sentencing Turner’s age and lack of criminal history were factors in his decision.
“His dream of attending Harvard Divinity School was derailed”, an excerpt from the Boston Herald, about Labrie seeking another trial, read.

SAN FRANCISCO (AP) – Stanford University officials say policies to prevent and respond to sexual assault worked as well as expected after bystanders spotted a member of the swimming team sexually assaulting an unconscious woman near a garbage bin.
As suggested by the victim in her lengthy statement, Turner seems to be in profound denial that what he did constitutes a crime-instead blaming his sexual assault of an unconscious woman behind a dumpster on the “party culture” that was new to him.

In a statement released Monday, Stanford says it reached out to the victim to offer support and inform her of the steps the university was taking.

Leslie Rasmussen, the drummer with indie band Good English, wrote a character reference for Turner in which she said the incident was a “misunderstanding”.
“That happens over and over again where we think, ‘Oh my god, you’re ruining this poor boy’s life.’ No one thinks about the victim”.

She said conversations about sexual assault need to happen more often. “So we did a thorough investigation, we presented considerable evidence to the county for prosecution and it was a successful prosecution”, she said, noting that the vast majority of campus assault cases never get reported to police.
