“The message that women get is, ‘dress appropriately so you don’t get raped; don’t drink too much so you don’t get raped, ‘” the 35-year-old mother of three daughters said in an interview with the Weekly.

Some neighbors aren’t happy he’ll be living among them, CBS News reports.
As of Tuesday, Turner appeared as a sex offender in the The Ohio Attorney General’s online registry. Whereas Turner blamed “party culture” for his actions, the victim wrote, “You realize, having a drinking problem is different than drinking and then forcefully trying to have sex with someone?”
Tempers flared even further when it became public knowledge that Brock Turner would have his jail sentence cut in half for so-called “good behavior” while incarcerated.
Stanford University’s initial response to the case’s national attention was the release of a statement saying that they had done everything in their power to prevent rape on campus and to assist the victim in seeking justice. He is expected to return now that he’s out of jail.
She harshly criticized Persky for giving Turner “a soft time-out, a mockery of the (seriousness) of the assaults”.
If he does, he’ll have five days to register as a sex offender there, and he must register again every 90 days, Greene County Sheriff Gene Fischer told CNN. Turner had been sentenced to six months in jail after being convicted of sexually assaulting an unconscious woman back in January of 2015.
Persky is now the target of a recall effort, and he’s removed himself from sex-assault cases.
Judge Aaron Persky is a Stanford alumnus, which some have said contributed to his comparatively lenient sentencing of Turner, who was a Stanford student at the time of his arrest.
Greene County Sheriff Gene Fischer told Reuters on Friday that Turner would be registered as a sex offender in OH for life and would have to check in with authorities every three months for as long as he lives in the county. He will be registered as a sex offender for life and must serve three years probation.
Since the outrage, USA Swimming condemned Turner and banned him for life, and so did Stanford University.
The bystander intervention program, Green Dot, is helping students feel empowered to intervene in situations such as Turner’s to show that anyone can help prevent sexual assault. “He should be in prison right now, but he’s not in our custody”, she told reporters.
